I hope this is ok to post here. I'm an artist and I wanted a custom script read out by a VA I found online. It's for a game I like playing and making fan art for. He's voiced many of the characters in the past, and I've listened to most of them (He's very good!). However, the script I needed read included a character I…

I recently was in a commercial and after doing this for as long as I have, it was such a milestone and it was so epic that it reminded me that all my work that I put into training, workshops, headshots and everything in between, as well as all the gigs I've had in the past, worth while. Believe me when I tell you, if y…

I do not have an agent or manager but I logged on to my AA profile and on the home page it says “congratulations your AA profile has been successfully connected to your talent representative”. Has anyone who is unrepresented had this happen before? Should I be worried that my account is like hacked or something?

UK theatre actor here. I was talking with another actor about improv and how much I disliked it in the rehearsal room. She seemed a bit dismayed at this and this not being someone I had worked with before, I felt that she was judging me and silently thought I was less 'free' and probably lesser as an actor. Personally,…

Hey guys, just a quick question: When a rate is $_ per line, what exactly does a "line" refer to? Is it a sentence? An instance of a character speaking? Or is it more like a poem, where literally each "line" of text would count, regardless of number of sentences? I had mostly been operating under the last example, but…
