Commercial agent takes 40% for submitting me on CN/AA/CF… do I drop her?

I signed with a commercial agent four months ago and have been on a total of four auditions, all of which my agent landed by submitting on Casting Networks and Actors Access (memberships which I pay for). Had I booked anything, my agent would have received...

What are your thoughts on actors sticking to one type of acting?

So I’m wanting to try and get back into theatre once I made my big move to a big city, but my agent isn’t too keen on me doing theatre, since she wants me available for roles in film, TV, commercials, etc. I also read another article of a guy saying “if...

Self-Tape VS In-Person Auditions

Hello everyone! I've been acting since 2016 and prior to COVID I had a good mixture of self-tapes and in-person auditions; I think 70% of my auditions were self-tapes and only 30% were in-person. So when COVID rolled around in 2020, I was pretty comfortable...

Recieved an offer from an LA manager. I am not sure why/if this actor is lying to me about their relationship to the manager?

I know this girl, let’s call her Kate. Kate and I are in an acting class together. She tends to be competitive for no reason, and is the type to gatekeep/not help others because she is concerned they could take her job. Since I’ve met Kate, she signed to this...

Are audition tapes limited to actors with agents that can get those connections?

When a new actor gets cast in a role, it's only second-nature for me to do some research to see how that actor made it to their current point. I noticed that most, if not all, sent in audition tapes, and then were told they'd been cast via Zoom. Up until now...

Hi folks. I have had a website for a long, long time and have updated it a few times over the years. In terms of website content, what do you feel should be elements of a voice actor's website and what do you think would be excess or superfluous content?

Non-paying gigs asking you to travel w/o reimbursement.

Apologies if this gets a little rant-ey. So I’m at that awkward stage in my career where I’m taking a lot of no pay/student gigs in order to build my reel. For the most part the experience hasn’t been too bad, all things considered. Today I was offered a...
