Hi, I’m not sure if this is the correct subreddit to post this to. But, I was recently cast as a recurring guest star in a network tv show (I don’t think I can say anymore). I’ve done a couple student and no budget films before but nothing of this scale. I have also not had any formal training so I don’t really know ho…

Been playing around at trying to be a voice actor for a while now. And came across an interesting question that a Google search hasn't satisfactorily answered. Does a computer need an internal audio card to adequately process sound for professional applications or does an external interface suffice?

I’ve been signed with an Agency in Colorado for about three years. In that time, they’ve had two employee turnovers (it’s run by two people, one of which has changed twice), and have booked me exactly *one* state-wide commercial and five military training videos. I’ve also been sent a fucking *hand model job* for some…

This probably isn’t a very good question but I just wanted it answered since the topic doesn’t really come up online. I’m 20 years old and have been in several small budget films in order to get a reel together.

So I submitted myself for Talent Link through Actors Access, and on Friday I got a cmail saying that an agent wanted me and some other actors (names redacted in the message) to email or call her.

I've seen many comments on this sub and in other places extolling being a member of a union. I am a supporter, generally, of unionized labor and protecting the workers from toxic corporate culture.

As promised, theatre fans, here's the run down from the last 3 rehearsals of 'The Red Priest'. Selfishly, I have to admit that I LOVE the small cast: 2 actors means tons of time to spend discussing the objectives and stakes of your character. For the very first time I actually feel as if mine is being built as part of…

I'm in my early 20s. I've been training and auditioning for professional productions since I was 14.
