12 student directors directed me and another actor for 12 hours straight with 1 script but 12 different variations. This was a fun and challenging exercise. I highly recommend doing one of these if you ever the chance.

Details about the day for those interested. We had no context of what each director would be giving us but we did get the lines in advance. Each student had only an hour to work with the actors. It was non-stop jumping in and out of character. Each character...

What does this mean?

So I’m doing an audition for a movie and I’m fairly new the acting stuff and on the list of characters, next to the name it says (principal) and there’s others that say (actor). I’m just wondering what these mean. Any help is appreciated.

Do agents fly you out?

Let's say your agency finds an audition for the actor they represent and the audition is in a different state. Are the actors responsible for their transportation to the audition? Or would the agent set them up with a flight themself?

It's dawning on me what a terrible businessman I've been as a voice actor

Been looking at some of the stats of the games I've been in. The first one I looked at was in development for about 2 years and managed between "20,000-50,000" owners according to Steam Spy. I'm not sure if the site takes refunds into account but by those...

Are you paid for Covid testing if you're non-union?

If you're booked on a production (as a background actor in case it matters) they always send you to get a Covid test the day before you need to be on set. I know union background actors are paid for that. Are non-union paid for it? If so, I assume it would be...

How long until AI takes over the voice acting industry?

I understand that it's going to take a long time until AI is able to actually "Act" but as the technology advances, how long will it be until TTS can replace us for commercials, and jobs where acting is less important than transferring information? (I'm...

Pros to Non-union Theatrical?

For commercial, there are clear benefits to being non-union. It seems more and more ads are finding what they need, and for cheaper, from the pool of non-union actors. What about theatrical, though? I can't really think of any benefit to being non-union...

How do actors have time to do so many projects in a year?
