Stop posting about acting all the time on your social media. by bustergaming777 • last post Apr 29th
Was working with a UK based CD recently in an admin role and she pointed out that if you just constantly post non-stop about acting, in particular especially with #actor you look desperate and green which puts her right off. Show more of you and being a real human from time to time. She did mention one Uk actor on Twitter by name too, who I’ve also seen constantly post shit like that to the point it’s over bearing. Just be aware that they are.
I know this is not the right sub but who is this actor?I have seen her from somewhere but it has been annoying me for days by Locopopa • last post Apr 29th
[PAID WORK] Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub | Myra Starr (Wife of Atticus Marshall) by KingOfHearts22 • last post Apr 29th
CASTING CALL: Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project PLATFORM: YouTube ROLE: Myra Starr (Wife of Atticus Marshall) GENDER REPRESENTATION: Female PAY: 75 USD in full, however since this is a fan project done on free time for almost everyone, we pay in parts and what we work on at that time. Any payment will be given before any work is started! If you take this role starting payment will be 25 USD SUMMARY: Myra Starr, the Wife of Atticus Marshall. Not only an important member of the Marshall Defense Company, but in Atticus’s heart as well. However since the passing of their son, the two have drifted slowly but surely. Clearly though the love and affection Atticus still has for her, is dimly given back. Myra however has always had a mean streak, as someone you clearly don’t want to cross. Despite her elegant and southern hospitality, there’s a side to her that she clearly hides from the rest of the world and her own husband. If one thing is for sure, she’s the Wolf of Wall Street for the whole American Military complex… Ideally we’re looking for a mature sounding womanly southern voice, one with warmth but clear alternative motives behind it. If you’d like to see how the original voice actress portrayed the character, please feel free to YouTube any cutscenes with her character. We are not looking for an exact match at all, so please feel free to send any voice demo or request a script to read off for the audition if you feel like you are capable for the role!

[PAID WORK] Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project | Sergio (Panteros Gang Leader) by KingOfHearts22 • last post Apr 29th
CASTING CALL: Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project PLATFORM: YouTube ROLE: Sergio (Panteros Gang Leader) GENDER REPRESENTATION: Male PAY: 100 USD in full, however since this is a fan project done on free time for almost everyone, we pay in parts and what we work on at that time. Any payment will be given before any work is started! If you take this role starting payment will be 25 USD SUMMARY: Sergio may be a big ass mother fucker, but damn he whips up a good “Sopa De Fideo”. The uncle to Neenah, he’d taken her under his wing after the unfortunate passing of his brother. Neenah being the lost and young teen she was, joined up with Sergio and his Los Panteros. In fact Sergio was just the role model she needed to get her act together. A hard working loyal man, who always put his family first. And after the former leader of the Los Panteros was murdered, Sergio stepped up. Soon the Los Panteros was his family, and with Neenah by his side they were destined to run the criminal world of Santo Ileso. However ever since Johnny and “The Saints” came into the picture, things haven’t been the same for old Sergio. And if there was one thing Sergio preached, it’s that you never turn your back on family, never. Ideally we’re looking for someone with a manly gruff Mexican flair or accent to their voice. If you’d like to see how the original voice actor portrayed the character, please feel free to YouTube any cutscenes with his character.

[PAID WORK] Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project | Gwen (Marshall Private Military Captain) by KingOfHearts22 • last post Apr 29th
CASTING CALL: Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project PLATFORM: YouTube ROLE: Gwen (Marshall Private Military Captain) GENDER REPRESENTATION: Female PAY: 200 USD in full, however since this is a fan project done on free time for almost everyone, we pay in parts and what we work on at that time. Any payment will be given before any work is started! If you take this role starting payment will be 60 USD SUMMARY: You either do as you're told, or you're no use to this Captain. Gwen being the former Sergeant that led the platoon Johnny was under while he worked for Marshall Defense Industries. Death is unacceptable to Gwen, no good men will fall under her watch. At least that’s her goal, but seemingly the unmeasurable task of making sure another’s child makes it back home safe weighs on Gwen’s conscience more than most in her field of work. She’s always carried a motherly demeanor with her, despite how tough the woman usually is. You gotta ask yourself why she’s so concerned with the lives of her soldiers in the first place, when most would see them as collateral… If you’d like to see how the original voice actress portrayed the character, please feel free to YouTube any cutscenes with her character. We are not looking for an exact match at all, so please feel free to send any voice demo or request a script to read off for the audition if you feel like you are capable for the role!

Audition material makes no sense by Prestigious-Dark-341 • last post Apr 29th
hey all -- i'm a struggling actor, trying to make it (and by it i mean just get whatever jobs i can find, really) and recently i've been shortlisted for an audition for an original, site specific play. the only problem is, i have genuinely no idea what the audition material is saying. it's not a monologue, written in the "you" pronoun, and i'm just at a loss. i've been reading this material over and over, and i can't seem to understand it. i've emailed the company but they're telling me to just "follow" my creativity. any advice? should i give this work a pass? here is the text i have to memorise and perform, word for word: **With a nat 20, they splashes themselves with cola and the pop rocks of their body (yells, boom) and this aura of flame forms around them, The leaves of the peppermint trees catch fire, as they rage, they level their hammer and go for this guy’s head, he swings out of the way just in time for Dippins to clip his jaw, he is knocked down. As his jaw goes slack on his head you and Dippins smell a stench of stinking cheese.**
I just started working with an agency in LA that was listed on that guy TruthTeller's top agents in LA list.... I'm wondering what to expect? by anonactor123 • last post Apr 29th
does anybody remember that backstage user TruthTeller that used to make lists of the top agents in LA, top acting school, etc.etc. well he had 6 tiers for agencies in LA and I just started working with one in the 4th tier and I'm excited because it's (seemingly) a huge step up for me. I've have reps in NYC & ATL and mainly tape at co-star level, sometimes guest star, once in a blue moon something wildly huge. my reps are all very low level. I've read for about 80% of the CDs in ATL & NYC, in the rotation for many, 6/7/8/9/10 tapes for a bunch. I'm at like 187 tapes for tv/film in the last 2 1/2 years, lots and lots of repeats and like 9 pins. however this new agent in LA is a step up from all my agents so far, and I'm new to LA, so I'm hoping I will start getting into more LA rooms and perhaps for bigger things in addition to the rooms I already tape for some what frequently for cds in NYC & ATL. right now my tape frequency has mostly fallen to shit because of the strike and everything, but before that I average 1-2 tapes a week for co-star and above. Hoping the addition of this new better LA agent will increase that since now I'm being submitted to LA CDs more as opposed to primarily NYC & ATL. can anybody speak to what it's like to "level up" with a new, seemingly better agent like this? this agency has been around for like over 30 years and has had a lot of series regulars over the years as well as some super iconic actors when they were earlier in their careers.
Brazilian Actor by Oscar Calixto • last post Apr 28th
Hello everyone!
My wife has an absolutely uncanny ability to identify voice actors by queenofcheeses • last post Apr 28th
My wife enjoys a lot of animation fromany different genres and media, and she has this crazy ear for voices that just blows my mind. She has literally identified voice actors from single words, and, even more impressively, screams/grunts/other non-verbal noises. It's absolutely insane and to me it seems like a superpower. Is there anything she can do with this?? I know this is a weird question, but I didn't know what other community to ask!

How To Find Friends/Readers To Help With Auditions by bmwyeah • last post Apr 28th
Hey all, Newer actor here, taken a few acting classes and gotten in a few student films. My biggest hurdle to auditioning is having another person to read lines during a self-tape. I have done a few where I record the other lines, then play the recording while I am taping my character, but the timing is usually a little off and they can probably tell it's my voice for both characters in the scene. I recently moved to a quiet rural town for work, and making friends has been very difficult. Everyone here already knows everyone else cuz they grew up here and aren't looking to make new friends. My old friends aren't interested in filmmaking whatsoever, so I feel weird asking them to help. How can I find other actors/film makers near me, or find actors online and we can trade off reading for each other's auditions?
Commercial Acting Class Recommendations Plus getting a commercial agent advice by ambitiouspikachu • last post Apr 28th
Hey all, Going to start commercial acting unrepped soon. I only have money for one commercial acting class. I've narrowed down a few. ​ 1. Killian's Commercial Acting Class- This one I've heard the most and got the most recommendations. I know a person who got an agent at the end. 2. The Commercial Class with Alyson Horn. 3. Hey I saw your Commercial 4. Allyson Horn Casting I was tempted to do Killian's as I'm paralyzed by decison analysis and it seems like the class where I could be seen by agents after the class, but I wanted other peoples opinions. ​ Also I have decision paralysis about getting a commercial agent as well. I've talked to a few actors in Los Angeles and they've told me they've gotten results through sending their packages through 1. Actor's Access- 1 friend got a commercial agent. 2. LA Casting- 1 guy got a film/tv agent and got co star roles on CSI. 3. Repunzel- (formerly Agent Blasters) My friend got it based on just a standup comedy reel and headshots. And he's had success in booking a major commercial. I'm leaning towards Repunzel as I have a light resume, but a killer standup comedy reel and decent headshots, but it's expensive. Unless I do the commercial acting package only ($97) and not the film/tv and commercial acting package. ($167) Or maybe I should just do all three services and consider it an investment. I guess I just need more advice but I'm going to submit starting next week. Advice please? :)
How does one give voice direction? by NatorGreen7000 • last post Apr 28th
Sometimes the voice actor will ABC a line and I always ask them to record an audition line instead of just sending me some previous work. Twice I sent a powerpoint with the full script next to a panel from the animation in addition to just a script with there lines for context but for full season that doesn't make sense. I can't give someone 260 page powerpoint.
How does one achieve GREAT acting? by Gaivnion • last post Apr 28th
I know acting isn't "acting." Acting is doing; its behaving. I think I act realistically, but how do I make it great. Is it all in just the practice. The more I do, the more I get better sort of thing. I've read the books by Constantine, Adler, Meisner, and Strasberg. I have analyzed Brando. I've watched Michael Caine's masterclass. Nothing has really been ground breaking to me. Then certain actors will kinda do a 180 and say, "I just am" or "There's not a process for it." I heard similar from Bill Nighy. Is it easier for older actors to give such a performance? Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Bill Nighy. Old and great, of course they were good when they were young too. I presume; don't know bout Freeman lol. It's been a while since I watched someone young who was star studded. Been a while since I've seen such a great performance in general to be honest. Leonardo Dicaprio was a star studded fantastic actor even as a young guy. Will it take me years to achieve greatness in acting. My favorite acting teacher that I watch on YouTube is John Windsor-Cunningham. He has said that he has only seen two great instances of acting. I simply don't know how to become as good as them. Continue acting? More reading?
Would it be more beneficial to join an acting class/school or just jump straight in. by SkylarDeLaCruz • last post Apr 28th
I recently appeared in a short film by chance and greatly enjoyed it more than I thought I would, now I want to get into acting for more or less the fun of it since it was such an enjoyable experience. I’m just wondering if it would be better to join an acting class or try and land roles already. My experience is 1. I appeared in a film when I was 8 years old(small role) 2. 3 years of theatre arts classes in middle school.(monologues, improv etc) 3. Appeared in a small short film this year Despite all this I don’t feel like a good actor, I’ve only played small roles and can’t cry on command or anything cool like that, so I’m wondering if it would be better to take classes to try and get better at the craft. Or do you not need too much experience/education to get started already? I’m not planning on being the next Sarah Hyland or anything, just find the experience fun.
How Pending Writers Guild Strike Could Impact Talent by Matthew Gross • last post Apr 27th
Below is a link to the Vox article regarding the pending WGA strike which is most likely to take effect May 3rd. SAG-AFTRA and DGA are going to renegotiate contracts in June; therefore, this could be a nationwide mega-strike. Plan accordingly!
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Apr 27th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. ​ For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Actors, how do you cope with the fact that most of us will probably be stuck working a job we don’t exactly love but pays the bills for the rest of the life while we never get good high profile parts as actors? by Big-Comfortable8462 • last post Apr 27th
I’m not talking about “making it” but as in most of won’t do any acting work that’s actually watched by a lot of people or it’s something that people will care about. *your life. Correction to question
