So I'm a 17-year-old female high school senior and I'm graduating this June. Being an actress is the only thing I can ever see myself being happy with. I've always wanted to be an actress and have done my research for years and have a few unsteady plans. I'm applying to colleges as a business major, I'm also doing dual…

Hello all! Throwaway account. Some backstory: I have been pursuing acting in LA for several years, without too much to show for it - i.e. not the typical career mile markers like co/guest star TV/film credits. I do have a quality commercial agent, and a manager. A few years ago, I took a random gig as an "extra" in an…

Hi everybody! I am a 29 year old actress who has been searching up and down for comedic TV sides to use at agent auditions. I have a few options, but I would love more- even if they are just good scenes from a specific episode of a TV show- I've been watching Community and Broad City and finding the episode transcripts…

I was recently given an opportunity from a regular at my work to audition for a new Netflix show. Problem is I have no acting portfolio and little to no experience! I am a model and have a decent portfolio for that. The regular said to make up a reel and his management company (that he also works with because he’s an a…

Alot, I mean longer than most, and sometimes when the actor is not supposed to laugh while the audience does, I don't think I could comfortably not laugh, Or convincingly retell the joke if it wasn't funny to me, because that kind of acting sounds painful

I'm an experienced as an actor, no leading roles yet but some supporting leads and dozens of smaller roles...maybe 50+ commercial over the last 20 yrs.

So I need to add more clips for character types on my Actors Access for my agency. I was curious as to where I should find scenes to tape. It will most likely be monologue or self-tape with a reader. I know on Showfax there are sides, but are we allowed to use those for personal use? Also, was debating on a monologue f…

In May 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I started a podcast called 'Actor With Issues' where I chat with actors from across TV, film and Broadway, to share their experiences some were talking about their first TV role ever, others promoting the network TV show or film that they were starring in. We've had actors fr…

This thread is for those who are usually intimidated by any decently long sentence, because they know they won't get far before gasping for air. For those who forget how to enjoy speaking, because it feels like a wrestling match with their own body. For those who procrastinate, because they think to themselves, 'maybe…

Okay, here is the big one guys. there is a TON of hate revolving around different voice acting websites from F2P to P2P each website has its ups and downs... but there is a little too much pride and lack of understand of the "rules" of the individual platform, which leads to conflicting reviews.

I'm in the UK so I'm not sure if the law is a bit different elsewhere, but basically our law states that if you're under 16, you need a license in order to work somewhere, so obviously that includes being a child actor on a professional set. A lot of people have told me that this means that 14-15 is the awkward acting…

I’m sorry I didn’t know how to word this question.

There are a lot of productions that don't require any vaccination or covid tests at all. Especially lower-budget ones. To be honest, I've mostly been paranoid and shy'ed away from the ones that dont require any covid testing. Then at times, for the right project I went in blindly, knowing there wasn't any testing.

I know nothing about acting: on-screen or voice acting. Watching behind the scenes of voice actors doing "dubbing", was amazed how much effort and expression they put. So this thought occured to me, "if a voice actors is basically acting behind the scenes while dubbing, could they be good on screen/stage also?". There…

I'm often conscious of directing actors in the best possible way - i.e. giving them just the right prompts to nudge them in the right direction, without seeming like I'm holding their hand throughout.

Hello! As stated earlier, I got my first role in a comic dub. I’m playing the role of Momo Yaoyorozu, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me, maybe how to speak clearly and maintain a voice, or if ‘preserving’ your voice by not talking really does anything, or any form of tips! Thank you

People can now produce a cartoon from their bedroom using a computer and tools like Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. They can also produce the music for it on their computer, too.
