Breaking Into VoiceOvers by Acting4Life • last post May 22nd
What is the best way to break into voice overs? Is it luck of the draw? Righ place, right time, connections, networking....? Most agents and clients prefer those with experience, but how does one gain experience when the focus is primarily on those with experience?

Has anyone hear anything about Chapman university? by Sketches-n-Drawings • last post May 22nd
Hi, sorry if this isn't the right sub to post this in. I am graduating at my community college within a year or so and have been trying to find a low cost university that can help me grow as an actor. My cc has been great so far and I'm looking to build on that to hopefully create a career in the future. I have been looking at Chapman University in Orange, California. It is a private university but I have a few academic scholarship opportunities that could vastly reduce the cost. I would most likely be auditioning for the theater department bfa but may pursue the camera acting bfa instead. Basically just curious if anyone has heard anything, good or bad about this university's theater department and bfa program. Thanks in advance! Also any school suggestions would be incredibly helpful. I also have my eye on UC Irvine and San Diego but I'm open to anything and everything.
Reel Question For Actors by aithendodge • last post May 22nd
Hi everyone, I'm a director. I just premiered my first feature film at a small theater in my town. I'm ready to share the film with the actors to use in their reels. So here is my question - is it customary to edit down an actors' footage, so the footage I send each individual is only theirs? Or is it legit to just share a copy of the whole movie, and editing it down is on them? The actors were all paid. I'd be happy to cut their scenes into a reel for them, but I really don't have the time. Thanks for any feedback!

Digital content/New Media managers in New York by PathyFinds • last post May 21st
Hello, I know how annoying it is when actors want to be spoonfed information and don't do any research themselves, but I'm currently a bit stuck. I've been trying to make a list of agents and managers who are taking interest in up and coming 'new media' creators \(aka youtube stars and such\) and how to balance that out with the acting part but also helping them grow their outreach. Not sure if that's a thing yet represented by mainstream managers but if you have any leads, preferably people based in New York but LA works too, that would be so helpful!
Signed with my first agent but no correspondence by NicolaP • last post May 20th
Hi all! I signed with my first agent (they're actually an agent and management company) about 3 weeks ago. My agent told me about a few jobs he was going to pitch me for and he recommended I updated my headshots and gave me great advice about my type and...

Are there any actors/celebrities that talk about the negatives of fame and wealth? by cartmichael • last post May 20th
Who did people get cast in big budget movies? Would you ever find roles like that on Backstage/Actors Access? Just need some clarification! by DGCantSaveYou • last post May 20th
Hey, not an actor, nor do I have the interest at the moment, but I’ve always had this curiosity. Do agents hook you up with private auditions (ones you can’t find/head about without connections) for most of these? What’s that like? From the inception of the project, to the final seat sold, what’s the casting process like? Any personal stories? Cheers!
Online acting school pre acting school by mdb800 • last post May 20th
I understand that online is no replacement for face to face training. I am looking for an online acting school that can prepare me for acting school a year from now.
Talent Manager by SonicBoomBrad • last post May 20th
I'm still a studying actor and fairly new (about 3 semesters of community college into it) but I've read a ton of recommended books from my working actor friends (whom I'm not so close with anymore). I've been a signed model to a fairly large agency in LA for around 2 years. I'm currently working and going to school full time but by the end of the year I'll have a certificate that will allow me to audition during the week and work on weekends fairly comfortably. I've decided that in the meantime, before I lose my modeling agency from being so preoccupied with school/9-5 work, I'd use the leverage I have to acquire a talent manager so that I'd at least be able to work on auditioning and self tapes. I have a few monologues and tons of headshot-ish photos from my modeling career, but no formal reel. I know I made tons of mistakes going in blind to the modeling world and signed with a couple really bad agencies and was somehow able to wiggle my way out of those contracts, I don't want to make the same mistake again. tl;dr: How do I find a legit talent manager that represents actual working actors, what is the best way to go about asking for representation (email, appointment, etc)?
[Australia] A couple of questions about seriously pursuing film/TV acting by beachpeach11 • last post May 20th
Hey everyone, So I'm 25, currently based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. I'd like to know; 1\) Would I need to move to Melbourne or Sydney eventually? 2\) How much experience or how many booked roles should I aim for prior to considering a move to LA? I've had minimal acting experience \(extra on the set of a feature film \+ lead role in a student short film recently\), and my agent knows that I am committed to being proactive with my career and seeking my own opportunities as well \(doing unpaid student films for more experience\). Any advice/thoughts or past experience input would be appreciated!
Moving to Peterborough by IWouldLikeToSleep • last post May 20th
Hey guys! I’m moving back to Canada in the summer (most likely going to be in Peterborough) and I’m very new to acting. I have always wanted to be an actress but due to moving around a lot and being very shy, I never really had the chance to stick to it and improve. Recently my school decided to make a short film as a sort of advertisement and the director wanted me to be interviewed and to interview others because he said I have a very good voice on film and I have a very good stage presence or something like that I don’t remember exactly what he said lol. I decided to be in the short film because I wanted to have a little more experience in front of the camera. After being in the short film, I realized I was not very comfortable in front of the camera, but I still love acting. So now I’m thinking of joining a theatre group because I want to learn how to act and get used to acting with others who also take it seriously. If you guys know of any theatre groups that are good with newcomers, let me know!! I would also like to know of any good acting classes and if you guys know how to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you all so much!
