Because of combinations of Covid-19 and its direct changes, depression, and uncertainty in life, I haven't felt motivated as an actor. For a while, even before the pandemic hit and affected the acting world, I have been struggling to restore a sense of contentment that I feel like I've lost since graduating from acting…

I’ll keep this short; I’m genuinely just curious. I have a two part question. 1. Are websites a must for actors? 2. Do casting directors prefer high quality websites from Wordpress or wix or would it be fine to use a free google website (the url is super long)? Does the url matter? Thanks.

I want an actor to fake arrest my dad for being abusive(my dad is not actually abusive). The price will most likely be lower than u want because I’m 14, but is negotiable.

Hi! I (17f) absolutely adore acting. Seriously, nothing else has made me feel this way for a long time. I love being able to express myself in other ways...(eg, not being myself, portraying someone else, you know?) But to be honest? I pretty much suck at it. The thing is, I haven’t been able to take any classes recentl…

Hey everyone, I’ve been doing a lot of research into the science of memory and learning, and I’ve found a lot of simple principles and techniques I think most actors are not familiar with and would be super helpful when it comes to memorizing lines. These techniques make it possible to memorize lines deeply as well as…

Since you started voice acting, is there anything that you're more sensitive to that you can't unhear, whether it's in other people speaking or yourself or both? ex: I was watching one of my new favorite shows and one of the actresses had the worst dry mouth and I couldn't pay attention to the plot for the next 30 minu…

So, my indecisive brain needs some advice from fellow actors. I graduate this fall to get my bachelor’s in Psychology.

I always felt different about acting. Like I always loved hollywood Tv series and movies and songs. Even I've cried like crazy bcz of these.

Wondering if any other Voices users have noticed a significant drop off of their daily auditions on Voices?

Going into highschool next year, I've been thinking about my career a lot. And I always come back to acting.

I know it sounds like this question has an obvious answer, but I’m asking because of the circumstances of the audition. I recently auditioned for a play in which i was the only POC to audition.

I was lucky to get a free BM800 microphone from a friend that is an XLR to USB mic.

People online say that you start gaining experience in a school's drama club or at a local theater. Unfortunately, I live in a country where none of those exist. I assume all schools here don't have clubs at all, nor does the country have any local theaters. Workshops in my area aren't present either, since they all ar…

For context, I'm a 20 y/o college student. The way I got into acting is kinda strange, I'd act out scenes from books/films when I was 11 and self-taped myself to practice until I was about 13, and exchanged feedback with my friends who were also into acting. In high school, I participated in basically all of the plays/…

Hey, I don't know anything about acting, but I love some actors like Freddie Highmore. His acting is always superb and I think he is a genius.
