Why so many annoying voices??

When will ads like this finally be considered discrimination and become illegal to require as part of an audition?

Confidence

Okay. So. I’ll put a TL;DR down there. I started acting when I was 8, in local community theater. Realized at 12 or 13 that what I was doing wasn’t necessarily the real thing, and asked my parents to help facilitate finding a real acting school to study. So I...
