What Are My Odds?

So before I get into it, yes, I understand completely that there are so many factors that go into being successful in voice over. My question is if I started voice acting in the next 2 weeks completely from scratch, focused on it for 7-8 hours a day, and 5-6...

some casting people are getting straight up disrespectful..

getting 5 scenes to do 9+ pages with a ONE DAY deadline to do it all is absolutely ridiculous. Whatever COVID led to has meant casting throwing as much material as they can against a wall knowing full well they aren't watching more than a scene or two at most...

Thoughts? People who aren’t voice actors getting cast

Personally, as a voice actor myself I can’t help but feel bitter about it. It doesn’t matter if they did well, for fun, or if it’s a small role. That credit or establishing a relationship with the client/studio can mean so much to someone who actually...

Should I take my manager off IMDb and send termination letter before submitting to new managers or after?

I’ve decided to leave my manager. I was about to send a termination email tomorrow and then submit to new managers, but a couple of my actor friends say it looks better to have them on IMDb while submitting. They think that I should leave once I’ve found a...

where should I move to?

I'm an actor living in the north of the UK. I know that there's so much work down south, in and around the London area. However, so many people I know in the industry are making the move to Canada because of how much is now filmed over there. Would I be...

So this is my first live directed session. Up till now I’ve had like 13 paid voice jobs (not many) but I only send auditions in as a mean to see what sticks and where my skills are and if I find my skills are lack luster I get coaching. Overall I’m a very...

Auditioning for female roles as a non-feminine woman. Anyone else relate?

I just finished an audition and I’m feeling really disheartened. I’m a young girl who usually sticks to comedy. Stand up, improv, you name it. Not to toot my own horn but I’m really good at those things too. I’m well known in my area. I occasionally go out of...
