I’ve been debating for ages shaving my hair (I’m a female)—but I’m honestly terrified of being typecast further (African-American). I’ve had rather short hairstyles my entire life/pixie cuts, and that’s what I have now—but I am itching to just buzz it off. But I do not want to further limit the roles I’m offered, nor t…

I want to start this off by saying that I’m in no way trying to sound bigger than anyone else, and like I think I’m more deserving of the parts I’ll talk about me having not gotten in this post. It’s not like that, and I’d hate to come across as selfish, and cocky. I’m an upperclassmen in high school, with no experienc…

Why do most voiceover recordings nowadays still take place in a studio? In this day & age, people are able to just easily record themselves over the phone (there are a tons of free apps out there that allow you to record yourself very easily). You don't even need a setup for this 20 years ago that wasn't possible, I do…

Hi guys, My friend's roommate that puts folks on tapes let me watch some self-tapes that booked people their pilots, major feature films, etc. jobs. A few days ago I posted on here asking about self-tapes that booked them because I am very curious (especially during this time of Covid) - my boyfriend works in computer…

Hello voice actors! My name is Josh Jones, and I would really appreciate getting some feedback on my character demo. I'm looking to polish it and make some updates so it can really shine. I did get the feedback that it would help to cut a few of the bits to give the rest a little breathing room, which I am working on c…

This is one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen, what a privilege that it's made free and available for us during these times. As I understand, this piece was actually written *for* him back in 2013. It got a lot of attention in the UK, and was recently revived for Broadway by a different actor. Seriously,…

Hi Everyone, I used to act in college and a bit after before getting into tech. I'm working on an actor discovery app for fun. The way it will work is: 1. Each week we'll pick a monologue or scene 2. Actors can perform the monologue and submit in the app 3. People come and vote on their favorite performance. My hope is…

Hello! Actor here... been earning a living for 30+ years doing this crazy job and I love it... and I hate it!

Hey actor peeps, So this quarantine gave me a lot of time to reflect and plan for when the industry eventually does open back up. I've learned that I would like to try to revisit and rebuild my acting foundational training. I didn't attend a conservatory or anything, and I learned how to act only from doing plays in sc…

It's been almost two years since I signed with my agency. They've gotten me so many auditions, and they're by far the most amazing people I've had a chance to work with.

I’ve been having a hard time finding an acting coach. I’m unable to ask actors/people in the industry in person, so I’d like to know how you found yours. Or just any tips on finding a good one. I’m currently a beginner, but my goal is potentially professional theatre.

I don't know if the question is confusing, but basically what you think your voice sounds like is different than what other people hear. Does that happen with voice acting? So is the voice that you hear the same as the voice as others hear?

Had an interesting debate about *irrational* behavior. Basically the friend says: "Sometimes people behave irrationally for no reason."
