Hey everybody! I’ve been inspired by [the post](https://reddit.com/r/acting/comments/epyay7/hey_actors_my_day_job_is_in_casting_send_me_links/) from u/ace_113 and I figured I’d do my part to keep the good deeds going.

It’s not fake, is it? The guy said I had auditioned for him in the past, but it’s been so long that I don’t remember. He is asking if I’d be interested in joining a list of some spreadsheet of actors to use on his projects. The only thing he mainly asks for is a recent headshot, reel (or acting video), union status, ra…

I recently got an Eco Cast audition request for an ULB film on AA. Due to some extenuating circumstances I don't think I'll be able to submit a tape, but I'm wary on declining if my manager will see that I turned it down. I don't want her to think I'll make that a habit for stuff she submits me for.

Dan Green, real name no gimmicks, is easily one of the most underutilized voice actors in the industry, anime or otherwise. He did a lot of work for 4kids, most famously Yu-Gi-Oh!, where he voiced Yugi Moto and the Pharaoh Atem / Yami. He also voiced Knuckles in Sonic X, Entei in Pokemon 3, Mewtwo in Mewtwo Returns, an…

Hey y'all, Actor's access media section says "**Performance Videos** are a one-time charge of $22.00 USD per minute or a fraction thereof." I wanted to ask: if I were to get new footage back and wanted to update my reel, would I have to pay the $22+ AGAIN even though I would only add one new clip? Or is it, for example…

I was introduced to acting through monologues and Shakespeare, not particularly using any technique. However, I know that I "self-direct" and heavily rehearse my lines and emotional beats so that each performance is basically like the last. Which brings me to the allure of Meisner and being open to and listening to the…

Hello actors (especially actors in Los Angeles)! I'm moving to L.A in a couple months and just wanted to know if you had any acting class recommendations? I'm planning on checking out Groundlings right off the bat, but I was also hoping to find a class that has more of an on-camera scene study vibe. Also, any recommend…

So I've been actor professionally now for about 2-3 years, but haven't really crossed this issue until now. I recently got some fantastic headshots done in October last year, and since then my hair has grown a bit, but I don't want to "change my look" per say, and as such don't think new headshots are warranted. In my…

So, I'm pretty excited about an upcoming audition tomorrow, but I think I already failed before I even started. The audition asks for having an accent, and I don't know if I can pull it off. Should I go, butcher a British accent, and go anyway because it's an opportunity nonetheless? Or should I cancel and avoid making…

I found a post someone did a few years ago super helpful in my audition process, and wanted to pay it forward.

I’ve heard so many movie star actors, interviews, talk about reading a script and trying to “find out” who their character is/what they are going through/etc. What are some methods you guys use to bring the character to “life”, decide what “blocking” to use, how to speak as your character, etc?

If you get rejected by a talent agent, it isn't Armageddon. It's part of being a voice actor. Don't crawl into a corner, feel sorry yourself and quit! You have to keep trying.

Beginning actor hear who is probably overthinking. I booked a lead in a web series which is awesome. Anyway, sometimes with scripts, a voice just comes out of it, i definitely try not to force it.

I watched a video from David Patrick Green on how you should stop going to auditions. He said this is because a self-tape is just as good and said he got some roles like this. Is this good advice and true to every role? Would this also be true to agencies who are looking for actors?
