About five years ago, I got the WhatsApp number of a very busy dubbing director because I was trying to get an interview with him for a project I was working on. We exchanged a few messages, but the project ended up never being picked up, and we haven't spoken since. I'm an actor now, and getting into dubbing has alway…

I'm a novelist currently querying agents with a completed manuscript, literary fiction, four distinct narrative voices. I'm looking for one or two actors who might be interested in reading a short monologue from the book on camera, purely as a passion/portfolio piece, not a paid gig, and not tied to any commercial rele…

The actors I am most envious of are the ones who seem to know exactly who they are and how that fits the character they play. In a way it’s kind of like knowing your “type” but they seem to have this ineffable sense of self-knowledge and confidence in their physical instrument. Has anyone else noticed or felt this? Are…

I am looking for a black female actor that can do a black wild west soulful voice for a 137 year old seductive serial killer. The pay is 25 since the role is so small, but for a big project I fund entirely myself. Deadline is tomorrow.

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with an actress/filmmaker/influencer I'm writing a screenplay with (I don't want to jinx it, but it has a real good shot at being made). Currently, she's acting in a horror movie, and having an absolute blast! She's enjoying the chance to do some acting, especially in the horror…

Before a casting director ever hears you read a line, they meet your headshot. It is your handshake, your first impression, and in a stack of hundreds of submissions, it is the single image deciding whether your name gets clicked. A great headshot does one job above all: it looks like you on your best day. Not a glamou…

I searched for find a sub for directors, but I don’t see any. Can anyone help me understand what an average person’s concerns like me about letting a tv pilot shoot in their living room?

Ok.... For some context, I started my voice-over journey in early 2016. Since then, I’ve taken classes with agents and well-known working voice actors, spent nearly five years studying theater, and even went through speech therapy to improve my delivery and acting skills. Sound engineers have evaluated my booth and hom…

I've been seeing notices more frequently in SAG auditions of productions using "AI Workflows" and/or "LED Walls/AI-assisted VFX" with traditional filming of the actors. I'm kind of confused on what this actually means and torn on how we should feel as actors. I wanted to see if anyone had worked on these types of proje…

I'm 26 years old and just started my acting journey. I plan to go to drama school soon. By the time I graduate I'll be 30. I'm not sure how many years after that it'll take to get a big break. Or if I'll even get roles. As a WOC I'm also at a big disadvantage. Hollywood doesn't look upon older women kindly and since I'…

Personally, I miss being "in the room" with the actual casting director and other members of the upcoming project. There's something magical about the interaction when you meet. Does anyone else agree? Or are video auditions too convenient to pass up?

As a voice actor, I've been very curious about this! While revisions are considered a normal part of voice acting, it may be easy to feel discouraged or not good enough.
