    New to the Community - just saying Hi

    UK Theatre School for 3 years in the '80's, but life 'got in the way' and I never did anything with my training (on stage!). Decided to 'give it another try in my early 50's - 6 years ago. Now, Union member in a 'satellite city', don't work nearly enough...

    Is relocating to pursue Voice acting crazy?

    I am an actor (Or like to think of myself as one even if the majority of my income doesn't reflect that) living in a small market in Alabama. I got into acting a few years ago with the intention of attempting to become a voice actor. Acting is aright but I...

    StarNow.com and other voice acting charged websites

    So I have a conundrum. I don't have any acting jobs under my belt, no voice acting training per say, but I have done some pro-bono stuff here and there on sites like [BehindTheVoiceActors.com](https://BehindTheVoiceActors.com). Is it worth jumping into sites...

    We need to talk

    My fellow Future Equity Members The time has come for us to have a serious conversation about the future of our audition protocol. Lines that start forming before 5 am are unsustainable and frankly ridiculous. We deserve better for ourselves, and we should...

    What headshot gets you called in the most?

    Hope this doesn't come off the wrong way. My commercial agent said that my current headshots aren't getting me in the room, and that I need to take new headshots ASAP. Honestly, I think these are my best headshots I've taken so far, but she's right, I'm not...

    Best acting agencies in Seattle?

    I’m in seattle currently and joined seattle talent two or so years ago, but have got absolutely 0 mileage out of them (through some fault of my own) but I’m not a huge fan of how they operate. Any seattle actors know the best agency to find real work that...

    Becoming an Actor

    I have always been interested in acting, but I have always been to shy to try it out. I haven't even told anyone that I'm interested in acting because I think they'll laugh at me since I'm so quiet. I am a freshman in college right now and I'm very unhappy...

    Do you think it is ever appropriate for an actor of one race to play a character who belongs to another race, whether a historical figure or a fictional character, and who looks totally different than the actor playing him/her?

    This is an often contentious issue today. But is this ever okay? There are many great performances of where actors of one race have played characters of another race. It happened a lot in the past, but I suspect you will not see much of it in the future as it...

    Monologue Help?

    Hi, ya'll. I'm a 5'3 actor and trans guy, so as you can imagine, I'm having trouble looking for a comedic monologue that I can realistically pull off. I know these are specific circumstances. The range I'm looking for is somewhere between high school and...

    Voice acting and gender transition

    I'm wondering if anyone in here has been a voice actor in the past and went through a gender transition and how that may have impacted your job opportunities, if you trained your voice to feminize it or not, how it may or may not have impacted you and your...

    Pointers/thoughts on this clip I used to audition?

    About a year or two ago I auditioned to be a voice actor for SCP: Unity using [This](https://soundcloud.com/blankmod/2017-va-mgsv) clip. Looking back on it, I absolutely hate it, but it got me on the team, selected out of around 50 or 60 people. I'd like to...
