Hello, My name is Dean and I am looking to maybe get into the voice acting world. I've done some voice over work for tutorial videos for my place of work, to which many people have suggested that it should "be a thing" I have a love for video games and several amazing actors such as Liam O Brien and Matthew Mercer etc Now, I appreciate that anyone can give advice, but what I was more interested in is if there is any one, in Kent (UK) who'd be willing to host me for a couple of hours to kinda tell me...if i'm crap or should actually pursue this as an option. It'd be great to hear myself on someones actual sound kit/whisper booth, as opposed to my echoey Blue snowball in a large room. Apologies if this wasn't the right place, but gotta start somewhere!

Hi everyone! Quick question, when emailing a headshot and resume, is it best in pdf or Microsoft word, or does it not matter? Thanks :)
Hello. Where are your film acting classes held?
I'm in Manhattan, and I'm looking for a good cheap place to get together and chat with fellow actors. Ideally I want somewhere that has lots of seats, and we can get a group together. Something not too crowded. Any ideas? Most coffee shops are overrun with people, or only...
Hi everyone! This past year I booked a recurring role on a television show. When is it appropriate for me to announce this on Facebook and social media? I want people to know about it before it airs but I often don't see other friends post about their roles until...
Wow, this message board has changed. I guess all the old posts are gone, as was my old account. I used to be "BrentontheMove." It's been awhile since I was here last. I thought I'd come back and impart any knowledge I can as I get some good advice when...
Hello everyone :) I am trying to put together my acting resume as I have an audition with a small local company at the end of this month. I am having quite a bit of trouble with formatting and terminology! Could anyone please give me a hand? Any help is much appreciated xx Thank you!!!
Hey everyone! I’m putting together a video on the DC Comics ‘Vengeance of Bane’ storyline which will be posted on Youtube, but I need help. **These will be paid positions in Australian Dollars (AUD) through Paypal, please check Paypal’s currency exchange to avoid confusion).** The characters are listed below with sample lines. These characters are South/Central American in origin as this is roughly where the story takes place. They all speak English (with the occasional Spanish word), but they should have a Latin American accent (I understand this is vague, but if you have specific questions, I’d be happy to answer them). The only exception to this would be the character “Bird”, who is from the USA. Additionally, **all of the roles are male except for the Young Boy which should be a female voice.** Also I suggest you check out the link to the images/scenes of these lines to help you understand the context. https://imgur.com/a/E3BMv Feel free to audition for as many of the roles as you want and be sure to send the auditions to mynameiskendo@gmail.com. If I feel like you may be a good fit for the role(s), I’ll contact you to further get a gauge of your voice, your range and answer any questions you may have etc. Then if we come to an agreement on everything we can get started! Looking forward to hearing your auditions, thanks everyone! :) **CHARACTERS** ~~**Young Boy – 6 years old. Abandoned. Latin American accent.**~~ ~~*“Can anyone hear me? Osito? Light...It hurts... Is someone there?”* [Scared]~~ ~~*“The nino is dead, Puerco. But I am here.”* [Sinister tone]~~ ~~**Prison Warden – Middle aged, overweight, wealthy, corrupt. Voice sounds a little gruff, with a Latin American accent.**~~ ~~*“Your mother has left you quite alone, little one. You must fend for yourself”*~~ ~~*“I will not have such abominations in my prison! He is a **BANE** to everything holy!”*~~ **Puerco – Prisoner, Overweight, sinister, manipulative.** *“In this place, you must have friends... Manana, then. We will become good friends tomorrow.”* [Sinister] *“One so small can slip beneath the notice of the guards. He will be useful to me.”* ~~***Bird – American, Imprisoned Jailhouse lawyer. Above Average intelligence, Loyal.***~~ ~~*“I got screwed by some partners in Gotham. They tell me you’re a kid who’s going somewhere. You need anything, you call on me. You got magic. I could use some of that.”*~~ **Trogg – Brutal, loyal, Protective.** *“The boy does not want your filthy hand on him, Puerco. Release him."* ***“I SAID RELEASE HIM!”*** **MISC** ~~**Tortured Man**~~ ~~[Man screaming in agony due to electrical torture]~~ ~~**Random Inmate**~~ ~~[Fight sounds, sounds of pain due to knife stabbing]~~

Hello! My name is Samantha, I am 16 years old. I'm new in the industry, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting signed to a good agency and/or where to look for them. Thanks! :)
I'm an actor who's got a nice collection of footage together for a reel. My problem is I'm on a contract on a cruise ship and for the gig I've lost close to 50lbs. Don't get my wrong I'm healthier, looking better and more confident but my look no longer matched ALL of previous footage. My goal was to start marketing for representation while I'm away working but can I market myself this way? Do I shoot new scenes? Do I send my old footage with my new photos so show skill AND what I look like now? I'm torn and worried. I want to further my career. Please advise.
