Hello! For a bit I’ve had an idea for a show, I took that idea and had been working on the script for several years. Very recently a friend of mine got me in contact with the right people and we are going ahead and making a pilot for the show! Making a pilot does get pricey so I’m sending this link around to a GoFundMe…

How should I go about creating a resume for myself a fairly new VO actor with limited experience? I’ve been doing a recruiting role for a Spider-Man web series as Scorpion villain but that’s about it in terms of VO experience. I’ve been a background actor for the past 4 years. But that doesn’t really help in terms of V…

i just feel like people try to make this a science, when it's really a lottery. we want to feel in control of our careers, so we like to think that the things we do on our own actually amounts to something tangible. but I keep seeing people say "do indie films".... any "indie film" that is even remotely a halfway quali…

UK theatre actor here. I was talking with another actor about improv and how much I disliked it in the rehearsal room. She seemed a bit dismayed at this and this not being someone I had worked with before, I felt that she was judging me and silently thought I was less 'free' and probably lesser as an actor. Personally,…

Hey guys, just a quick question: When a rate is $_ per line, what exactly does a "line" refer to? Is it a sentence? An instance of a character speaking? Or is it more like a poem, where literally each "line" of text would count, regardless of number of sentences? I had mostly been operating under the last example, but…

This is a general rule of them, but the idea being just be cool on set you know.
