I'm a 34-year-old musician and lately I've been dealing with the fact that I've always wanted to be an actor but keep on talking myself out of it throughout the years. Becoming a singer and musician with stage experience has definitely helped me explore this side of me but I think that's not enough. At this age, I'm wi…

Basically I'm trying to make my own voice synthesizer and I realized that I need to do a crowdfunding campaign for it eventually. Basically the script for the voice providers (same as a voice actor but for a voice synth) has the language and notes at the top. On the side are the phonetic inputs for the program then exa…

To be honest. I always wanted to become a voice actor. But I'm unsure where to even start. Especially as a young person.

Hi everybody, I'm reading Bill Epser's book at the moment and there's a section of one chapter where he mentions that some actors have blunted their emotional responses and might be as well to take some movement classes to put them back in touch and release the tension that holds their emotions back. Are their specific…

Have you ever been cast in a role that was not, shall we say, necessarily "culturally accurate"? Do you feel guilty about it? I can't tell if I am feeling guilty for having played Anita in West Side Story even though there is no evidence that I am even slightly Latina, or if I am feeling guilty for not feeling guilty t…

I'm writing this because I've seen too many well known voice artists run newcomers into the ground. I don't know whether it's insecurity or fear of more competition! The fact is, there is NO competition! A client either likes your voice and delivery or they don't! It's easy to get hooked on voice acting if you're passi…

I'm not casting anything yet. I want to know for future reference. If I want to post a casting call to find actors in Florida for a non-SAG production, what is the best website(s)? I figure I'd ask actors on Reddit since you know what sites you check the most.

Hey there! I'm a voice actor from Orlando, and I currently have a 4' x 4' Whisper Room setup for voice over. In there, I have 4" Owens Corning 703 lining each wall, and the ceiling.

I made a post for r/judgemyaccent about an attempt at a general American accent. I don't think they're critical enough of my accent, so I would love if any actors could give me honest feedback about how close I am and what I can do to improve. https://voca.ro/4QeknebKHPH Thanks a lot!

So whenever I watch I show set in secondary school, high school, college or university eventually I check the ages of the cast. Sometimes the cast in general are of high school or university age.

Sorry for such a generic post, but I wanted advice on how you all deal with this. (And also vent.)

32/F. When I'm watching a movie or TV show, I can't help but think about how capable I am of playing these characters as an actress.

Hello fellow actors! I was curious if anyone who actually paid for talent link successfully got an agent and/or manager from it?
