Staying mentally well by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Jul 15th

"Where do you draw the line between pulling from personal, real-life trauma for a scene versus using pure imagination? How do you protect your mental health while doing it?"

I had the pleasure of being the English voice actor for some of the characters from the K-drama/ comedy, Nice to Not Meet You :) by ac_voiceover  •  last post Jul 15th

I had the pleasure of being part of the English dub for Nice to Not Meet You on Amazon Prime Video a while back. I feel especially honored that I got to work on something starring Lee Jung-jae (love Squid Games!) Just wanted to share some clips of the characters I got to play. My main role was the main character's psychiatrist, You Eun-Kyoung. I had so much fun with this project!

Can I have some honest unbiased feedback on my demos? by Brihasavoice  •  last post Jul 15th

Hello, I am a aspiring voice actor and I have had these demos for a while and never sent them out to anyone besides friends and family. They were edited by a team that I hired, and recorded in a studio. A while ago, I asked a professional producer and VA in the industry, in which they said that there were problems (editing-wise) with it on the studio's end and that I shouldn't send it out as it works against me. I would like some honest feedback from people online, what do you think about it? Thank you so much for listening.

Looking for female voice to grunt to success for indie game project by ZinniaGames  •  last post Jul 15th

The title is pretty much it. I am looking for a voice actor to make pain grunts and death screams for an upcoming demo release of a game I am working on. This role is paying 10 bucks, and should hopefully only require about 1-2 minutes of recording at most. While this offer is only looking for the grunts and screams at this time, whoever ends up selected for the role will be shortlisted to keep the role in the final game, which will pay a lot more and will have spoken lines of dialogue. **SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED** The game can be found here currently: [https://zinniagames.itch.io/900down](https://zinniagames.itch.io/900down) I have a post for this role also on CastingCallClub: [https://www.castingcall.club/projects/900down-alpha-demo-e6d323fd-e81a-44df-9d9e-e3e3bcbf3fe9](https://www.castingcall.club/projects/900down-alpha-demo-e6d323fd-e81a-44df-9d9e-e3e3bcbf3fe9)

Just got my first part, What type of questions should I be asking for criticism? and How do I get better at asking for it? by Automatic-Country414  •  last post Jul 15th

Alright so I just got my first part in a game. I am nervous as I am a ameteur to voice acting besides me being an actor through out high school and playing tabletop games like D&D. I was truly not expecting to be given this golden opportunity but I don't want to waste it. I wanted to ask what type of questions should I be asking when I'm asking for criticisms? what are some general questions that I should note down and ask? Also I hate to admit it but I'm kind of sensitive to criticism, how do I get better in overcoming that slight fear of actually asking to be given criticism?

Looking for voice actors and voice actresses for Indie Adult Animation. by IsaacPipkin1023  •  last post Jul 15th

Hi, me and my Uncle are looking for voice actors who may be interested in joining our show. It is an adult animated sitcom that we are gonna put on YouTube and hopefully try to set up a Patreon. The first season has a number of exactly 22 episodes. The best way I can describe the show is an odd mix of The Boondocks, South Park, King of The Hill, and heck, I'll even throw in a little bit of season 1 Rick and Morty. Now, with that said, me and my Uncle are new to this and this is our first rodeo. I'm not gonna ask any "Newbie" questions or anything. But I just want to add, this being our first time in show business means this may take a lot of time. But, we are currently looking for voice actors and voice actresses who'd be interested in playing some side/background characters. We are also looking for voice actresses who can play the main female characters. We are offering $150 per episode. We have finished the scripts for the first season. After we get the voice acting work set up, we are moving onto the storyboarding process. So, if anyone is interested in auditioning and joining the team, please feel free to email us. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask them and we will try our best to answer all of them. My Email: [Isaacpipkin0@gmail.com](mailto:Isaacpipkin0@gmail.com) (My Uncle) Ty Anderson's Email: [Randyjr1023@gmail.com](mailto:Randyjr1023@gmail.com) Our Business Email: [Tyandisaacproductions081@gmail.com](mailto:Tyandisaacproductions081@gmail.com) (It really doesn't matter which email you go with, just thought I'd put our business along with our main emails just in case)

Improv, you're my hero! by Doug Kayne  •  last post Jul 14th

For those of you who have been snooping at my various blog posts (especially during the Introduce Yourself Weekends), you would know I am an improv guy.  I've been performing improv as a member of one group or another since 1994, and been teaching it in some capacity since 2005.  I could talk for hours about improv -- games, exercises, characters, techniques, you name it.  I recommend that everyone studies it -- not just to build your resume, but to gain the skills to be comfortable improvising when necessary.  There is power in the embracing of "Yes, and..."

I know improv gets a bad rap at times -- for some reason, if you ask someone to come to your improv show, it will be occasionally met by sneers of disgust.  But, it truly is a fantastic art form.  And a useful technique as well -- in fact, from what I understand, improv training is something that casting directors for soap operas look for, given the sheer amount of pages being shot at any one time.

(This is where I put in a completely shameless plug for my improv group, THOSE FOUR MISFITS (www.ThoseFourMisfits.com, our next show is on Friday, August 7 in North Hollywood).

Now back to our regularly scheduled blog post.

Improv can also be a show-saver at times.  I can't tell you how many times improv has saved a scene during a play when something goes awry.  One of the things improv helps build is trust in your fellow performer, and when you're doing a show, this trust is key.  And when things go sideways (as they always seem to do in live theater), improv can help things get back on track.

I'll give an example...and I'm going to praise one of my fellow performers, Andrew Schub, for this one.  I'm an improv guy, but his improvisation helped set the play back on track.

I was doing a production of PETER PAN AND WENDY (not the one you're familiar with -- same story, different script, different music, different songs, different dances).  I was playing a dream role -- Captain Hook.  And, while the material itself was....less than stellar, the cast was awesome, and we had a great time together  I enjoyed it immensely -- even the week when I had lost my voice and had to strain just to get a whisper out to be heard in the back row (we weren't mic'd) for back-to-back shows.  I still have the hook that was made just for me, and it has appeared in other stage productions of Peter Pan as well.

There were two swordfights in the play, both between Hook and Peter Pan.  In the first fight, the tech crew was waiting for a particular sequence to be performed to signal them to hit the sound cue of the crocodile.  Rehearsals went off without a hitch.  As did the first couple of weeks of shows.  And then...on this particular show in question...as I pull out my sword...the blade starts to separate from the hilt (for those who are in the know, we discovered at that time that the sword being used was a push tang, not a full tang).  The blade just sort of drooped.  In slow-motion.  Peter and I looked at each other, with him offering me a "What do we do now?" look.  Without missing a beat, Andrew (who played one of my pirate crew) said, "It's all right, Captain.  It happens to the best of us sometimes."  The adults laughed.  The kids didn't get it (when they're older!).  We were able to have some banter going on until the sound cue arrived as needed.  The scene was saved.  And we were able to get the sword repaired in time for the next show.

That wasn't the only time a play I was in had to be saved by improv.  Remind me sometime to tell you about the time the thick wooden sword broke at the beginning of the choreographed fight, flying upstage and almost hitting a cast member in the head.  I could tell you all sorts of stories.  We had to now improvise elements of the fight.  And it's not just fight scenes either.  What do you do when a piece of furniture isn't moved when the scene changes, and someone has to go get it in character?  Improv helps there as well.

Improv isn't just a skill to build your resume with.  It's a valuable tool to hold in your arsenal, helping you stay in the moment, flexible, and at times save the production.

Wait a minute...now that I think about it...maybe it's just shows I'm in...  Am I the cause of all these mishaps?

Yes, and...

Looking for 2 American female voice actors for a VERY short animation sequence by stfukt  •  last post Jul 14th

Hello! I am 18 and am currently in the process of putting together a portfolio for university. I want to go into animation, and really want an animation sequence of my characters to stand out, so i am looking for voice actors. I am on a relatively small budget, as this is only about a minute long video. I am offering 15 USD to both VAs for about 3 or 4 lines of dialogue. Both characters are American, so please only respond if you have a natural american accent, any will do. please have a good microphone.. please be willing to work with me on timing and delivery adjustments! Character 1: Skylar (CLOSED) Skylar is quite rough and angry, she is a cowgirl, but is still quite feminine in her voice. She comes across as apathetic and tired, however has the potential for bursts of anger and passion. (image one) line examples : "This isn't about you, Bethe! It's about me, and them, a-and him!" (angry, snapping back) "It's not that simple. Ya know it isn't, stop getting in my head!" (starting off slow and progressively speaking faster and louder until she is shouting) Character 2: Bethe (CLOSED) Bethe is gentle however calculated. She is very feminine in her voice, however not necessarily high pitched, as well as well, and evenly spoken. By the time this scene comes around she is fed up with the way Skylar is treating her, however is still trying to convince her to not go through with the action. line examples : "I just do not understand what i have ever done to upset you?" (pleading) "We still have the choice to leave this all behind, Sky, to start anew, just like we always wanted.." (earnest, gentle) drawings of both characters are posted after this post, Bethe being the oil painting and Sky being in the drawing that says "apathy" please DM me on discord with a short audio clip of you delivering one of the aforementioned lines if interested!: my username is katsirregular :) casting closes on Friday 12pm UK time :)

Is pitch shifting post production normal?? by wildflower_blooming  •  last post Jul 14th

I was looking around YouTube for some guidance on being able to voice male characters better as a female and came across a tutorial on just using the pitch shift function to edit the audio in post. Is that normal or industry standard?? I'm going to be heartbroken if my favorite actors are artificially manipulating their voice! And if that's NOT typical, I will take any tips and resources on females voicing male characters.

Sam Neill, ‘Jurassic Park’ Star, Dies at 78 by Geoff Hall  •  last post Jul 13th

Well, this is sad news, the death of Sam Neil.

I’m amazed at his versatility as an actor, for someone who will probably be best remembered as palaeontologists, Doctor Alan Grant in the Jurassic series. However, there was so much more to his career.

Thank you Sam Neil for passing our way.

Demo Reel Critique by Zestyclose-Donkey928  •  last post Jul 13th

Hello voice actors, I would greatly appreciate some critiquing on my reel. This is my first voice acting demo reel, so I'm sure it's gonna sound rough but ya gotta start somewhere I suppose. I have no voice acting experience at all, but I've done my fair share of stage plays and student films so the acting world is not foreign to me. I have been using a Blue Yeti Microphone and recording in my closet. Thanks in advance and please tear my demo reel to pieces. Blunt honesty is appreciated. Here she is: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kaMdpmb-a11e9jI\_GWQ6EdH6lZnzwMBS/view?usp=share\_link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kaMdpmb-a11e9jI_GWQ6EdH6lZnzwMBS/view?usp=share_link)
