    What’s it like in Canada?

    Toronto specifically. I’m a UK based actor with a Canadian passport thinking of moving over. My first point of call would be approaching Canadian agents first. I have a good CV, UK drama school trained. Plenty of guest roles, some recurring and regular roles...

    Voice Acting Help

    I’ve been out of the game for a long time. I went to school for theatre, worked as an actor for 8 years in my twenties, then I got married, etc. I’m a bartender now, but I really need some extra side income… or a new career path entirely. I have a good radio...

    Getting into voice acting as a teenager

    Hey there. 16F. I’ve been interested in VA work for quite a long time now. Up until this point I’ve been grabbing very pointless roles on Casting Club for things like Gacha skits & Minecraft roleplays. Very unrewarding work with very minimal lines & thought...

    Do you watch yourself on screen?

    Do you watch your own performances when they air? It can be so hard to be objective watching yourself or someone you know really well, so it can be really hard to get too much out of it yourself. Getting feedback from others that watch is helpful, but I'm not...

    Actors with egos….

    I know, they’re everywhere, and being in contact with one drove me in for a loop. Actors being rude to other actors, I will never get over it. I understand it’s a heavily competitive career, but you really don’t need to be an asshole and put down other actors...

    Do I need an agent

    So I just moved to Atlanta to pursue acting and I’ve been auditioning on actors access and backstage and haven’t really gotten anywhere. So I’ve been wondering if I should pursue getting an agent right away or wait a bit. Cause I have heard you shouldn’t get...

    Do agents actually help you find work?

    I’m 17 and new to acting but I’d like to start in more commercial/ tv roles instead of theatre which is what I’m doing now, I’ve read that a lot of actors start getting good roles with the help of a agent. Do agents actually help you find work and are they...

    A question for Illinois actors

    My husband was offered a job in Decatur Illinois and it looks like he's taking it. It's triple the pay he's making now so it's a no brainer really. I'm an actress in the Branson Missouri area and I am represented by an sgent in my area. The location we're...

    Do you have problems being assertive?

    There seem to be a lot of threads on here where someone is finding it hard to say no to something that is obviously bad for them. Or where someone walks away - often much later than most people would - from an unfair situation and then feels guilty about it...

    A VO career is not an on/off switch

    I've seen a couple good tweets recently about "breaking into" and "big breaks" in voice-over, and the assumptions around those. [Here's one.](https://twitter.com/SaraSecoraVO/status/1644358964715421699?s=20) Fundamentally, the issue is that aspiring actors...

    Could there be a problem with my name?

    I have a very nice name (or so I’ve been told) but it’s a very feminine name, and I am a guy. Now I know lots of actors and actresses have strange names, but I’m just wondering if you think an agent or something could find a problem with my name. Name is...

    Thinking of saying no to "actor" roles

    So by bus I live about an hour to two hours away where things shoot in my area. I've gotten majority commercial roles and also principal and supporting roles, which I don't mind the commute because of the money and the credits i can put on my resume...

    How Do I Professionally Fire My Manager?

    It just hasn’t been working out. They got me a lot of exposure near the beginning but it feels sort of scam like now. They’ve only been in the manager game for about a year and have 90 clients, I don’t normally get auditions from them, their management...
