Hello! Using this account as a bit of a throwaway to focus on performance ventures. I'm an actor (29M) who's been in SAG since the pandemic mainly due to background work. I've long admired VO work and have been told I have a very resonant voice. I have acting fundamentals from going to acting school, but I've struggled…

Hi friends! I wanted to share a small victory I had recently. I’m a non-union, unrepresented theatre actor/singer in my 20s based in NJ/NYC. Last weekend I received a callback for a professional production I auditioned for over Actor’s Access! This is my first callback in 2026, and I’m very excited! At the same time, I…

I'm currently working on a short film and I'm looking for a male voice actor who speaks mandarin/Chinese. Because it needs to be a paid ad I can offer 5 Euros for 2 voice lines. It's nothing big u can just send the voice memo via whatsapp cause that's what the others of the cast have done too. Of course ur name will be…

Hello! Using this account as a bit of a throwaway to focus on performance ventures. I'm an actor (29M) who's been in SAG since the pandemic due to background work.

Hey there. Did a supporting character on a theatrical movie back in early may. I had a great time shooting with the number 1 for 3 days. A scene a day, so a total of 3 scenes and around 15-20 lines. I got credited on IMDB along with other cast members (I.E union contracted roles). Recently, they made all of the roles u…

I recently signed with a manager a few months ago who I really like! Him and I hit it off right away, we have the same outlook on my career and the industry in general, and we have a very open line of communication. I’m a SAG 20s LA based actress, and this is my first real genuine rep. I have some decent credits under…

Basically I’m doing a background job on a sag film as a non union actor. This is my first time working background in a sag project so I’m a little confused on how it works with vouchers. I had to fill out a voucher on everyset to get paid for my fitting and it asked for my sag number, but it said to say the voucher was…

I’ll preface by saying this’ll be a long post, so thank you for reading it if you take the time. I’ve avoided doing this for so long because I felt embarrassed asking a bunch of strangers on Reddit for genuine life advice (Squidward asking for spare change had more dignity), but decided it was finally time. I turned 25…

Hello! I'm a disabled actor and have recently been offered representation by both ZBD and VisABLE People.

And filmmakers/producers! I saw someone on Instagram mention the idea of several actors getting together to film scenes for demo reels that each person could use and would love to do that here in Chicago!

Hello people! I'm not entirely sure if this question belongs to here, but I'm just a curious person. I'm an artist myself but not a single acting cell in my body, so I'd just like to ask you as actors one thing: When you perform your given character, and you have the script and everything, do you ever feel like...

I’ve gotten a LOT of stage/VO work and have had awards, great reviews and long running gigs but just can’t seem to cut it on camera? Do I just have shit confidence when a camera is in my face? I can’t bear to watch it back which doesn’t help - do I just have to suck it up?

So, I have observed this about myself. It’s only when I have truly learnt my lines almost to the point when if I was woken up in the middle of the night I could still remember them and say it as it is, that I feel confident enough to act… I envy actors who just know their lines some what and still manage to ace it or w…

Hi! First time poster here, so I'm just curious about those who have used Actors Access and received EcoCast auditions in the past. I'm sure it may be dependent upon the theater, but for those who have received follow-up callbacks after submitting for an EcoCast, what was the time frame for when you were notified about…

I studied acting for a while and something I never solved was getting honest feedback on my tapes. Curious what people actually do here: When you finish a self tape or a practice scene, do you show it to anyone before it goes out? Who? A coach, a friend, a group chat, nobody? And the other side of it, have you ever sat…

Looking for advice from actors who don't live in English-speaking countries, specifically. The reason I'm asking is that I want to audition for roles with an "American" accent, but every time I try to do it, I feel like I'm just mocking it and that all my "r" sounds and some vowels are wrong. **What helped you overcome…

What happens right before you feel officially stuck in your head? Are already there before the take, when you're supposed to have a specific moment. Mid-scene, when the other actor throws you something unexpected? Or after, when you know it wasn't real and you can't fix it in the moment? Curious what that moment actual…

What is this about? You can tell the actress she's talking about from the comments. But who is the acting coach (that's not in Atl.) that was being wild, trashtalking, and butt hurt about not getting tagged by said actress when she booked something?? Charges thousands and maybe has in writing that actors MUST tag and c…

Recently got an email from a Chinese company saying they are looking for voice actors. However I am not sure if it’s a scam or not.

To the African American actors, do you find that you see more roles for commercials geared towards us in some cities more than others? For example, I wondered if given the demographic, Atlanta would have more opportunities to submit. Are there any other cities where you see more roles for us than others?

Hugely disappointing, yet another company falling to greed. Many of us paid $650 for a lifetime license. Now we will have to pay ***$145 a year*** on top of that just to stay current. The sick part is, they built version 4 specifically so it cannot connect backward to version 3. Every studio that upgrades is now a stud…
