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)

DIY VO mic, because why not be an engineer and actor all in one? by MedDevGeek88  •  last post Jul 13th

Sounds amazing, and is custom-tuned to my voice profile. Just wanted to share my nerdy-ness with the VO world ?

How does a young writer earn enough trust for someone to take a chance on their story? by Bliss Ganza  •  last post Jul 12th

Hey there,

I'm 15, 

and over the past few months I've been developing my feature screenplay, SAVAGE SMILE. I've rewritten it, built a pitch deck, studied storytelling, and spent a lot of time here on Stage 32 learning from all of you.

One thing I've started wondering is this:

At what point does a writer become "trusted"?
Not just trusted to write a good screenplay, but trusted enough that a producer, collaborator, or investor believes they're someone worth building a project with.

I understand that experience matters. So do relationships, budgets, professionalism, and collaboration. I'm not expecting someone to hand me millions because I have an idea.

What I'm really trying to understand is how trust is earned in this industry.
If you were looking at a young writer with no credits, no budget, and no connections in the traditional

 sense—but you could see they were serious about learning—what would make you think:

"This is someone I'd actually like to work with."

I'd love to hear your honest opinions. I'm here to learn.

Interesting perspective on how acting careers work. by Jason Raymaker  •  last post Jul 12th

Here Josh Brolin talks about the unpredictability about casting and how an acting career can fluctuate so much.  I think it is pretty accurate.  What do you think based on your experience?

Voice Acting Reputation and Fandubbing by xKiWiYTx  •  last post Jul 12th

Hey all! I have been auditioning and practicing and officially voice acting for about 2 years now! Need some advice! I guess I don't really understand the reputation effect as much as I thought in posting fandubs. I was planning on posting some fandubs to comics, cutscenes from games, shows/movies, etc. but I have been reading a lot about how it could negatively impact your reputation as a voice actor, even if you credit the original artist/IP and aren't making money off of it. I just fear if I were to, for example, voiceover a Marvel cutscene or something from an animated series, it would ruin my chances of ever working with Marvel. Does anyone have any experience making dubbing content and should I just stay away from it completely? I know Fandubs are a big topic in the VA world so I was wondering what people's opinions were on it and what advice you would give me or someone in a similar position on wanting to post and showcase my skills on social media! Thank you so much! (Also I have been a YouTuber for most of my life so I understand the logistics of copyright and such, so I don't really need that explained to me, I'm mainly concerned about my professional reputation as a voice actor.)

I'm a bit conflicted about voice acting. by Crafty_East4075  •  last post Jul 12th

Hey, so I'm a voice actor and have been for nearly two years. I'm 14, and I have a pretty high voice, which has its advantages and its drawbacks, but I've gotten used to it. I've learned to do a lot of younger characters' voices like Craig Williams, Darwin Watterson, Bart Simpson (WIP), Young Simba, etc. It's pretty hard to think that someday I'm going to gradually lose the ability to do these cool voices and that my own voice is going to change (probably drastically due to testosterone). Do you guys ever have these worries.

15 and wanting to start as a VA by That-Goth-Bitch  •  last post Jul 11th

Am I too young to be a voice actor? I’m 15, almost 16, and I don’t know if I’m too young to be a voice actor and should wait until I’m older, or if I’m okay to start now. I apologize if this violates anything, I figured it would be okay since it’s not a starting question.

Andrea Romano’s Advice by Voicelings  •  last post Jul 11th

We just had Andrea Romano on for our Legends Live and she gave so much advice. One of them being what she looked for in voice actors. The one thing she really looks for is stage acting experience. Kevin Conroy, who has a Juilliard background proved that to her when he auditioned for Batman. She believes stage actors do the best job in animation because they can really pick on the details. She really recommends taking acting classes. With that said, how many of you are taking acting classes? Are you seeing a significant improvement in your voice acting from it?

I have a story outline ABOUT a voice actor character. May I seek feedback here on just over a page of story? by ReverendSpeed  •  last post Jul 11th

!!!NOT SEEKING ACTORS YET!!! Hi - I'm hoping this doesn't count as ads/spam/unwanted direct solicitation. I have an *outline* for a *script* I'm writing for a (inhale) *visual novel* I'm planning to make, which features a ***voice actor as the main character***. I was hoping to get a little **feedback** from experienced actors on the first part of the story (involving recording lines in an audio recording studio), maybe with some notes on if it sorta reflects some real experiences. I know many people record now from their own booths, but for the purpose of the story, this starts in a recording studio. =) Please let me know if I need to change my approach to do this research, or if I should be inquiring elsewhere. Once I know folks here are happy with my request, I'll drop in a Google doc (again, this is just over a page of A4 with a high-level overview of a short story). Thank you in advance.

Advice from freelance voice actors by Dewdoodles  •  last post Jul 11th

I’m starting acting classes this year to hopefully build into voice acting(while also studying animation in college/doing it as a career as well) and I wanted advice on how to go about doing freelance voice acting and what is the best way to approach it?

Vulnerability by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Jul 10th

Can vulnerability be learned, or is it something actors either have or don't have? If it is something you learned, what has helped you become emotionally available in your work?

Can I be a successful voice actor and still have a social life? by PickoChino  •  last post Jul 10th

Hey people! I was recently inspired to get into voice acting, but I’m concerned about how it could affect me if I do it full time. I’ve heard stories of isolation and depression from others. Can I be a full time voice actor and still maintain relationships with my friends and family outside of the industry? How often would I be able to take vacations without losing momentum? Is it ultimately up to me? Let me know!
