Actress talking about working on a feature film as well as ADR recording by Danfilmman • last post Jul 1st
Actor based workout plan, would you be interested? by DirectivePodcast • last post Jul 1st
I'm looking for some insight. As a component to my MFA thesis I made an actor centric workout plan that could be done in a small space, required no equipment, and was only 30 minutes a workout. I had planned on reshooting the videos and publishing it online, with some free content and some patreon content, but I've really been wondering....would anyone actually be interested in this? Free or otherwise? A lot of research went into it and it's designed to help support you physically as an actor, but I just am hesitant to put it out there. Thoughts?
What ARE my rates? by Ptme3 • last post Jul 1st
I was requested to do a self-tape audition for a short film. On the listing it said “compensation commensurate with experience”. They asked me— a non-union, 18 year old actor with little film experience— what my rates are. I have no idea; what would be a good number for me? Says it would be a 6 hour commitment.

How to get started? by SaintHoppy • last post Jul 1st
I have a some questions that I’ve thought if after looking through this sub 1. What do I do if I can’t have a coach? I live in a country that doesn’t have that kind of stuff 2. Is there any places online I can do some stuff? (I don’t wanna be paid just yet, I just want to build a demo and such) 3. What makes a good voice actor?
Finding Recording Spaces in Your City (Better than a Closet, Cheaper than a Whisperroom?) by Hopeful_Dot • last post Jul 1st
Hello! I'm a newer voice actor/audiobook narrator and I have been working as a full-time freelancer for the last few months. Up until now, I've been making due with a closet setup, but the abundance of construction, landscaping, etc. in the summer simply cannot be blocked out with the setup I have. I rent my apartment, and I am simply not yet financially/mentally/logistically prepared for the nightmare that is getting a Whisperroom shipped to my place, unloaded, moved up to my unit, set up, and then having to take it all down and do that all over again when I move in a year. ​ Has anyone here had luck using library rooms, music practice spaces, or renting from legit recording studios? I'm based in Chicago, and any Chicago-specific recommendations would be absolutely incredible. I know there's the issue of finding a space that isn't so big it sounds like a church, or so tiny and sharp-edged it sounds like a coffin. But I'm holding out some hope that other people have stumbled upon workable solutions. Almost anything at this point would be better than desperately recording a few words at a time in between jackhammer bursts and weed wackers going up and down the block, all while trying not to suffocate in a closet filled with blankets and acoustic foam on a 90-degree day. ​ I'm totally willing to rent out a space by the hour/week/month, but it seems that most legit recording spaces are geared towards musicians who need the space for a full band, producer, sound engineer, etc., and priced that way as well, and I really just need a space that's mostly sound proof, not too echoey, and has the space for me and my mic. Most places I've called are either way out of my budget and/or want to sell me a director, sound engineer, etc. in the package. Any tips on what to search for that would land me just the room itself would be fantastic (one place suggested I look for podcast recording studios, but no luck finding one of those yet). Thank you all in advance!
Meisner method in San Antonio, tx by myteeboosh • last post Jun 30th
Was wondering if anyone knew of any schools that teach the Meisner method in San Antonio, TX. I found one in austin but it's to much for me to commute every week. Also, if no schools are available, are there any Meisner trained actors who could meet with others interested in learning the technique and sharing/pooling our knowledge to enrich everyone.

When the PA asks the last Background Actor to get to set... by urbansophistication • last post Jun 29th
Karma Pro Users: Please thread here! by John Soren • last post Jun 29th
Hey All! It's been a wild 24 hours for me, and I'm working through the issues. Apparently nearly 20% of the listings did not migrate properly and that cascaded into several other problems. Those listings have now been moved over, which will help. I want to talk about the issues some people are having with Pro - mainly the "popup" issue. This change actually wasn't due to the new site, it was based on Chrome's recent update which disallowed the old way we'd open windows. People who had already upgraded Chrome were not able to see anything (they would get an "About:Blank" page) until we updated the window opener. So, before getting into it, please make sure of the following: You should have Chrome updated to the most recent version, which is 75.0.3770.90 You should have the updated version of the Karmalicity Pro extension, which is 2.4.1 If either of those things is not true, I can't be sure which issues to address... but given those two things are true, please provide as much detail as possible about what issues you're facing when trying to use the extension, and I'll try to work it out!
How to read a booking info email? by ShatteringLast • last post Jun 29th
Hello there, real actors. I only recently decided I wanted to be an actor. I've zero training, etc. I saw a local casting call for background extras for a TV show filming in my city. Decided to send an email with all the info they requested, and to my dumbfounded astonishment, I rec'd a reply an hour later. Problem is, I'm not really sure how to read it. There are a few different roles for background extras, and I'm not sure which I would be, and therefore not sure what my wardrobe should be. The last thing I'd want is to show up at call time with the totally wrong outfit and be *that guy*. Are there any resources on how to read these emails? It's got that type of bad formatting that you see from like, government agencies. Thanks in advance for any help. This is bonkers to me!

I feel like I am an actor on the inside by em8472 • last post Jun 28th
I’m 26 years old and I have never once acted or attempted to act or auditioned for anything, but I sometimes act out scenes at home by myself and I think I am good at it. I can bring my real feelings into whatever I am trying to act out and make it very real to the point where I almost feel like it’s real to me in that moment. I would really like to explore this side of me more but I’m not sure how! How do you get into something like this? How do I start getting into acting if I’m 26?

Worldwide Casting Search - is it legit? [castittalent/ telsey+company] by janevsthevolcano • last post Jun 28th
Hey guys just wanted some opinions on whether the casting website "castittalent" is legit or not? I found an open casting call on facebook for the lead in a new show, and the submission has to be made through castittalent.com. I haven't been able to find much about them, but the casting directors who posted the casting call (telsey+company) seem very legit and reputable. (There are articles written about them, and actors discussing them in online forums.) And this role does seem like something that would make sense to cast an unknown in - specific skills are required (great voice, proficient piano/guitar player), and it seems like a real "rags to riches/star is born/funny girl" kinda thing. The only thing is it's $5 to submit. Usually that's a red flag, but on the other hand all the other casting sites require fees for membership, so... Thoughts?
If clients just wanted a clean, pleasant sounding read, they would have probably just done it themselves. by VOAudioDude • last post Jun 28th
Day in and day out I watch new voice actors underestimate the element of actual ACTING in the craft, especially in commercial reads. You can never forget that there needs to be a reason why a client would pay you to use your voice- you need to develop a skill that exceeds simply good tone and understandability. Even in the dryest or most poorly written scripts, you're responsible for bringing them to life and designing emotions that didn't exist in the content before your read. It sounds basic, but I can't count the number of new talent I deal with that just "read" and whine when they can't book their first job. I think too many talent see the craft as a get rich quick scheme, especially in online casting.
