Voice Over Blog for Aspiring Voice Actors by frostymcstoo • last post Oct 21st
Hey voice over community! I am a novice/aspiring voice actor and currently write an informational and sometimes comical blog about my journey through the voice over world, how to start a career in voice acting (via my experiences), and sometimes how to do certain impressions or accents. I wanted to let you all know about it in hopes that my may help others participate in this wonderful community. If you are interested in reading about my experiences I will put a link to the blog at the bottom of this post. I will also put a link to my Instagram for this blog. The Instagram posts give a heads up for upcoming blog posts. ​ Blog Site: [https://ids.uni.edu/ihearvoices/](https://ids.uni.edu/ihearvoices/) Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/ihearv0ices/](https://www.instagram.com/ihearv0ices/)
Movie VO questions by Shinaar • last post Oct 21st
Hello dear voice actors! I need your wise advice. ​ We're making an indie short-length interactive movie. Actually it will be an FMV game where you can choose what to do next (without any pause) and get 2 really different or 3-4 semi-different stories. The genre is Criminal Thriller. And we're making it in Russia and in Russian, so that's where my clumsy English from (sorry) and a sourse of the main question :) ​ There will be a two main (male and female) and a few secondary (male only) roles. About 10-15 minutes with dialogs. And we'll need to make an English version of the movie. I used to work in game development with a foreign narrative actor but that project is different. ​ I suppose that looking for different actors by ourselves would be a bad idea. We'd probably need some kind of post-production (post-localisation, editing .etc) work, and a producer/studio help to work with a few actors… ​ 1. So is the best way to look for some VO studio to outsource that work? 2. And is there something we need to know as newbies? 3. If you can tell us something about costs for such professional work (average price for an actor per minute or per hour maybe) - it would be cool! ​ Thanks in advance for any reply!
I had a bit role today and fucked up, now I want to kill myself by arielu12301 • last post Oct 21st
Age:19. Ugh, after many standing roles, finally I got my first level 2 role which was a Bit Role. Now it wasn’t for a small series, but a big one with big stars. Anyway, my role was a soldier who comes to check is friend (A Medicare) who got injure. When my part came I was pressed, shivered, excited and talked so fast, we were stuck on my part like 10 min doing it over and over and hearing the Director saying: “again”, or “do it more XYZ” etc. It surprised me because I’ve already been performed in front of 300 hundreds people so I scared from 30? I must note the cast itself were so good, told me I’m good and it’s ok and even the director took me to a personal conversation even tough he had a huge cast and people behind the camera to manage and I had only 3-4 lines yet he came. But I felt the disappointment in the air. I expected from myself to be good, I trained, I wanted to make them all proud especially because I grew up on them. I feel so bad, like they won’t cast me anymore and that I’m a bad actor, and I’m crying so hard): If I can’t control on a bit role what would it be like as a main role? It punches me so hard on my heart/:

How do I let someone know I’m not interested in their film after getting more info on it? by justsomethrowawayacc • last post Oct 20th
I saw someone post about a short film they’re producing on a Facebook group for actors and filmmakers that I’m a part of, and messaged them asking about more information and that I was interested in being an actor for it. They said they already have their main actors but are still looking for extras. I’m only interested in principal and supporting roles. How do I let them know I’m not willing to be an extra without sounding snobby or lacking in etiquette?

Can I add non paid work to my resume? by _EmmaRose_ • last post Oct 19th
This weekend I'm going to be working as a scare actor in a haunted house but it's a non paid thing. Would it still be acceptable to add to my resume? I don't have a professional career yet, I'm still in school and just doing minor acting jobs at the moment.

Terrible first roles by markiitka • last post Oct 19th
Hello everybody. I don’t know, this is probably terrible question and maybe you will tell me to fuck off. I want to pursue acting.( im even thinking about trying acting school). And I got lucky and got myself into a local theater. I saw one play and I thought okay, its not THAT bad. Now im actually in other one and its TERRIBLE. Im actually embarassed, as audience is not laughing and I totally get why. Its almost a scam on audience that we ask for money :D. Today I thought I saw my ex in the audience and I almost got a panic attack ( yes I know I sound dramatic). My problem is. Would you push through thinking “okay its a start and i can learn something” or would you just quit? I feel bad telling them i really dont like it there, but I dont even think in my city it could get me somewhere. Like every professional actor here know that theater sucks. I dont know, i just feel bad after todays play. Feel free to ignore me, or tell me im not thankful. I just had to tell somebody about my frustration and now I feel slightly better.

Tactful way for a tech intern to approach a casting intern? by jcahn123 • last post Oct 18th
Hey guys! I'm currently an engineering student who is interning at a major media company for the technology department. I also happen to be a long-time actor (mostly stage). When I'm not working, I'm producing shows, acting, running a theatre club, etc. So at my company, they just sent out a contact list of all the interns to us. It's one of those rare moments where it feels like something was dropped right in front of my lap. An opportunity to try to move into an acting career as opposed to a tech one (because thats the real dream). The list includes interns that work for casting departments. I genuinely just want to know- is there any tactful way of approaching the interns that work in casting film/TV? I'm not entirely sure what I'd want to ask either... it just feels like an opportunity I shouldn't waste, you know? Do you think it would just make them uncomfortable? Do you think there's a way to go about this in a respectful manner? Do you think I should avoid this altogether? Is this just a plain ol' waste of time? All opinions help! I just need to hear back from some actors who can relate!
Questions to all actors / people in the industry. Thanks ! by reddit0604 • last post Oct 18th
I am a black, slightly overweight teenage actress. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and I sent my headshots and resume to 13 agencies and submitted then later asked to audition for a supporting role in a feature film 2 months ago. My emails are becoming increasingly dryer by the minute and I don’t want to sound winey or naive but are actresses like me of interest to CD’s, agents, managers, directors, etc. I’ve also been monitoring and submitting to castings that fit my profile on Casting Frontier, Actors Access, and Backstage and the roles available are very scarce. Any advice or general comments would be highly appreciated. :)
Questions for all actors. Thanks! by reddit0604 • last post Oct 18th
I am a black and slightly overweight teen who is an actress. I submitted to a bunch of agencies 2 months ago and submitted then got asked to audition for a supporting role in a feature film and my emails are becoming increasingly dry by the minute. I don’t want to sound naive or winey, but are actresses like me of value to agents or casting directors right now? Cause I haven’t seen much yet and I really hope that that’s not the case. I’ve also been watching the breakdowns on actors access and submitting on casting frontier as well and the roles are so little. Any advice or answers would be highly appreciated !
Figuring out Your Casting Type by eddiemagic7 • last post Oct 18th
So I thought I’d make a video discussing the concept of casting types and how an actor can try and sort out for himself what casting directors and producers might be most likely to cast him/her as. Hopefully this helps a few of you! ☺️ r/https://youtu.be/0BT-sZiTa9g ​ ​ https://i.redd.it/qxpye51v7vs11.png

A problem with nerves by Yousifusif96 • last post Oct 18th
Hey everyone. As most of you may know being an actor means you’re on display often. I have tried signing up for classes and I don’t have the strength to even go. I struggle with something I’m not even sure what to call it. Whenever I want to do something in life, I get super anxious and I freak out and back out of it. I’ve tried various things for help but still nothing. I’ve tried propranolol, cannabis oil (with no thc) and I still struggle with being anxious to the point where I can’t do it whenever I want to do something important to me. I guess for the first time in my life I’m scared because I feel like life is slipping away from me and there’s nothing I can do about it. If anyone decides to respond I truly appreciate it and I hope I can figure a way to jump over this hurdle that has been in my way for 4 years now.
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Oct 18 by AutoModerator • last post Oct 18th
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. 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.
Do you think that most actors have ego-based ambitions, or that most actors actually love the craft of acting? by conradrian • last post Oct 18th
In other words; are most actors driven by either a vision of typical Hollywood success/gaining some sort of social respect by doing a good job at something that potentially makes them seem deep and understanding, or are most actors genuinely interested in doing a great job acting, and in enjoying the art in its own respect, whether or not they ever receive recognition or fame from it?
