Keeping Momentum Going by Mandie Deaton • last post Dec 19th
Hey all! So I have been acting and modeling mainly in Iowa and am looking to expand. I will travel anywhere for the right project and am extremely versatile in the genres I enjoy. The biggest thing to me is that I do well with offbeat characters.

A rant about clients who have small budgets but expect the world... by electricmaster23 • last post Dec 19th
OPINION: If you're a client looking for work here and are going to spend less than $100 on your voice-over, I expect some kind of escrow or self-executing contract that ensures I am paid upon completion. (Most people won't touch sub-$100 gigs, but bear with me—that will play into my rant). Now, don't get me wrong—I think people are entitled to hold auditions, even for shoestring budgets, but don't get mad if you're inundated with a bunch of entries that use prior samples rather than recording something fresh just for you. I was told from one would-be client that TV actors and stuff have to go to auditions and stuff all the time. Yes, that's true, but TV/movie actors going to said auditions are *usually* being paid big bucks when/if they are selected (often 10 to 100x what I was being offered for this role). It's simply not worth my time to set up my studio, record the piece, master it, upload, and then send it off—only to have it completely skipped over 40 others. If you like my voice/singing style/whatever, trust your judgement. If $100 for a single entry will break the bank, that's not my problem if it's not exactly what you envisioned. This client was just some fucking dude on Reddit who wants all the reward without making any concessions. Fuck him. I was also told by this particular client (which inspired this rant) that it was like a plumber doing the work before being paid (among other things). No, dude, it fucking isn't. A plumber, for example, goes to a physical address where they can follow up if shit goes awry (no pun intended). I'm sure there are other VOs here that feel similarly that they don't want to claw their way up the zombie pile to maybe get a piece of a diseased foot. What do you guys think?
What’s Wrong with my Proposal? by myinvisibilitycloak • last post Dec 19th

Producers unresponsive to footage request by connorhawke • last post Dec 17th
What do you do about producers who promise you footage and you worked well with but never reply when you ask for the footage or an update? And why do they do this?
Interested in voice acting, but not sure where to start by Kazaarus • last post Dec 16th
Hi all, Aspiring voice actor here (as I'm sure we all are.) Just getting into the scene, I have a few internships with radio stations at the moment. I don't necessarily have any voice acting experience, but I do have news casting experience and an outlet for expressing my voice. I'll include a few examples of my work, but I was wondering what I could do to start building a voice acting resume. Thanks, and any feedback is much appreciated [https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/e-sports-feature-story](https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/e-sports-feature-story) [https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-afternoon-8](https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-afternoon-8) [https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-morning-3](https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-morning-3) [https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-morning-5](https://soundcloud.com/user-155485307/sunday-newscast-morning-5) ​

Actor by Patsy Derrell • last post Dec 13th
I'm the youngest actress in stage 32 because I've been in a production in Eastgate Middle School and I've been singing in choir and earned 2 nominations for Eastgate academy awards for best singer and best ensemble member. Although, I already got an award for best ensemble member at the awards assembly. So, if you want to be like me, Try your best and dare to dream who you want to be and also sing out if you are shy.

Become a Better Actor by Shannon Tharp • last post Dec 11th
I realized something after years of working on projects and pulling the best out of people that there is one thing that remains constant. You have to want to be better and let your actions show. Actors will go to school, take courses, read books, look stupid doing our warmup exercises but one thing they won’t do is this... Research people. No wants to be Qurans people watch. Ride the train or bus and just listen with your eyes and ears. Go to the mall, eat, etc. we are imitating real life. So why are we spending more time in class and not out in the field? If you need more details inbox me. Until then Happy Hustle and I hope this helps.

Need advice from voice actors, would this be a feasible way of recording for you? by Musc3 • last post Dec 10th
I'm creating an independent animated series as a hobby and expect it to take a loooong time to make. Because the episodes will probably take *at least* a month each to crank out and there are several reoccuring characters, I highly doubt that I would be able to hire voice actors as I'm animating. By the time I finish episode two, who knows, months may pass and there's no way I'd be able to hold down people for that kind of loose commitment. Understanding that most of the time voice acting is recorded before animation, the only solution I have to this right now is either: A. Use a couple of my friends and my own voice and use that as a blueprint for animation. Then later on down the line, hire professional animators to sync/record over our own voices so that they match up with the animation. B. Essentially go the "anime dub" route and just allow the voice actors to try and sync up straight to the animation without any voices to record over (which I heard can be difficult for them and constrain emotional expression) Or C. I write the script from the first episode to the last episode, then hire the voice actors and have them voice it all (not in one sitting of course), and then animate it. My only worry with this is that if I want to go back and change something later down the road, I might not have the same actors anymore. If it's doable, which one would be better?
Any voice actors with advice for someone who wants to break into it? by TheaterNerd • last post Dec 9th
I’ve always been told I’d be a great voice actor and I’d LOVE to do it! I have a really nice USB mic and pop filter but I’m honestly not sure where to start, besides just starting to submit for gigs. Any advice for a beginner?
