How did they get John Dimaggio for the english dub of Drifting Home? by sgavary • last post Mar 24th
John Dimaggio is an A list voice actor with very high rates, how could they afford him when he probably costs at least 50k, don't dubs have low budgets normally?

Actors, you don't ever need to meet up with a producer/director in person to get a role. by Pearlsgalore • last post Mar 24th
I'm not talking about in-person auditions, I'm talking if a director wants to meet up with you alone either for dinner or at their house to "get to know you." A bunch of actresses I know and I who have a resume but are not celebrities have all dealt with a creepy producer who has a medium sized show on amazon prime (isn't very good). It has some c list and d list actors in it though so I guess he uses this to try to get newer actresses to meet with him I guess thinking they might be desperate or something. The show isn't very good looks like it isn't coming out even though it was filmed years ago, etc. Just wanted to share this though as it's really creepy and predatory behavior. I asked both my agent and manager about this and they said do not meet with this guy. I also found his Instagram and he has tons of pictures of actresses he worked with sitting on his lap or putting his arms around them and it's extremely disturbing. This guy has to be at least 50.Even if I was single, I would rather not work for years than put my safety possibly at risk. I know I can get roles without having to meet up with producers alone. Be careful out there ladies! lots of creeps in the industry trying to take advantage of young women out there.
Are large project open calls for real, or just to increase awareness of projects? by Tootelorian • last post Mar 24th
I don’t mean to sound jaded, but I feel like every time there’s a “nation wide search” they end up casting someone already well in the industry. Is this ever real, or just a marketing ploy that gets young actors hopes up?
What are some red flags to know for a young actress trying to avoid pervy amateur directors? by RoseParamount • last post Mar 24th

I'm embarrassed to ask for help paying for coaching. by Naive-Employment9742 • last post Mar 24th
So I'm a teenager who wants to be a voice actor so I'd like to get some coaching while I'm still young so I can keep working on it as I get older. However my parents aren't 100% on board with me going into a preforming art but I'm not sure how they would react to me asking for coaching. I'm not even sure what to look for in a coach so I don't know if they'd want me to know that before I ask. Can anyone offer any advice on how I could ask if I think they won't be supportive or only partially supportive?
Was anyone bullied by casting directors and would like to share? by MoreLynx6389 • last post Mar 23rd
I know this is a sensitive subject but also a very important one. Has anyone been bullied by casting directors in their local area by consistent and excessive exclusion without merit, treated poorly, false rumors, discrimination? Anyone like to share their experiences? There is a common misconception. Casting directors don’t choose the roles or who gets cast. The director and producers do. Their job is just to present the actors in the local area who fit the description the directors and producers are looking for. There is often a lot of confusion about that. But they do have power in that if they decide to bully someone, they will just not let the person audition despite the actor being right for the role and qualified with previous work experience. Artificial Intelligence could do their jobs and hopefully the industry will work towards that direction to prevent this type of treatment towards actors in the future. My job is to be an advocate for actors and see that they are treated fairly.
Best Podcasts/Materials to learn about acting / business of acting by youfeelme1997 • last post Mar 23rd
Have quite a few books but are there any good podcasts out there to listen to ? Or any specific episodes of podcasts where an actor speaks about their career?
Will changing my hair color prevent me from getting roles? by superstarnebulaneon • last post Mar 23rd
Okay so I’m pretty new to acting. I’ve been taking classes for about six months. I’ve recently taken headshots and started applying for roles on actors access. No callbacks yet but it’s only been like two weeks so I’m not discouraged. However I recently have been seriously thinking about giving myself a makeover. I’m a light brown skinned African American male with pretty long dark hair. I’ve been thinking about cutting my hair short and dying it a brownish red color. I know it will look good because I’ve had that color before and it doesn’t look terribly unnatural because it’s a natural hair color anyways but I’m scared that it would maybe not be natural enough and therefore prevent me from being cast in different roles. I recently did background work on a period piece and they almost sent me home because of my haircut (it’s faded on the sides) so I know if I had a different hair color I may not have even been selected at all. So I guess I was just wanting some advice from other actors. Oh btw, I am aware that I would have to retake my headshots and I’m prepared to do that.

Do actors/actresses ever feel used for money? by MatterEnough9656 • last post Mar 23rd
It just popped in my mind and im wondering what the thought processes of actors are in regard to this? Or do they just not think that way? Big names for example and plastered all over covers and sfuff...how does the actor themselves feel about being "used" for money?
I have the same name as an actor on IMDb and two of his credits have mistakenly gone to me, what should I do? by bustergaming777 • last post Mar 23rd
Obviously I don’t wish to take credit for someone else’s work but I don’t know how to amend it.

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Mar 23rd
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. ​ For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Filmmaker blasts Pedro Pascal for being in a bloopers reel… by DPool34 • last post Mar 23rd
Podcast episode on acting by OthersideStudios • last post Mar 23rd
I've just interviewed the very talented Koko Marshall on my podcast. I'm not an actor by any means, but I think it's really worth a listen for people in the film industry. Koko had a lot of insights about the world of acting as we discussed her career and major influences. I'd wanted to get Koko on the podcast since I first watched her in the heist thriller Solid Rock Trust (2022). The performance she gave in that film was so complex and had so much range. Here's the link if you'd like to watch the podcast. Hope you enjoy! [https://youtu.be/RgzMffO82ts](https://youtu.be/RgzMffO82ts)
if you actually want people to apply to your casting call, don't be braggy like this, it's pathetic by Pearlsgalore • last post Mar 23rd
Have you ever been bullied by casting directors in your local area? by MoreLynx6389 • last post Mar 23rd
Case Study: Reports have shown this is common in smaller markets aside from Los Angeles and New York. Has anyone been bullied by casting directors in their local area by consistent and excessive exclusion without merit, treated poorly, false rumors, discrimination?
