I'm not a voice actor or a VO artist. I make YouTube videos and I'm adding VO to my videos so they can be a little more engaging. I absolutely hate the sound of my voice in playback. It makes it a chore to get through editing and makes my overall video production process twice as long.

So would it be worth it to pay the IMDb subscription if I’m an actress in Spain? Also, is there another website that is a MUST for me to have my profile up here in Europe? Thanks!

Anyone still having issues with actors access? Uploading videos is taking forever/ not even working sometimes.

I’ve recently been cast as a supporting actor in a student film. This character only has 3 lines and is only in one scene. This is no pay and it’s about 2 hours from where I live. Is there any worth in acting in this besides experience? I don’t think I’ll be able to get reel worthy material out of it and I’ve already b…

I just got admitted into the Atlantic acting school and I've been kind of on the fence about whether I should accept my place with the school because of a lot of mixed reviews I've seen on the internet. Could someone tell me if the school is good and worth my time as an inexperienced actor ? I want to make sure I'm goi…

Hey Actors,I’m looking to interview other actors who have taken a long break from acting and are now returning to it later in life. Lemme explain.

For the theatre apprenticeship, I plan to apply for, actors are to send in self-tape audition videos. The instructions say to make sure that my whole body can be seen throughout the entire video. Should I follow this instruction (even though it seems like a silly and incorrect way to film a self-tape) or should I film…

guys I have been feeling uncertain about my career lately, and so last time I saw my agent I asked him what he thought I had going for me, or what separated me from other actors.

TL:DR at the bottom I want to become an actor but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will forever be in poverty jealous of others achievements and not getting roles.

Hey all! For the past month, every time I've uploaded a self tape to Actors Access the thumbnail turns black. This wasn't an issue for me since before a few weeks ago, and I haven't changed anything in the way I edit or upload my tapes. When I click on the thumbnail it still plays the video like normal. I was wondering…

Do you prefer to refer to yourself as an actor or actress? I usually say actor but I’ve noticed a lot of people will correct me for some reason and push the word “actress” on me.

I've been freelance acting in ads, commercials, and a few shorts for the last 7 years. As an African American living in Taiwan that doesn't speak Mandarin fluently, it has been extremely hard to get acting work here. My dream has also been to get cast in a feature, but I rarely could even get an audition, even with sev…

Instead of starting with what you think the casting director is looking for and working backwards, start with your intuition and experience of the role and work from there, ignoring your perception of the casting director. Doing it this way not only helps you deliver a more original and more memorable performance, but…

I've been looking into some actors recently from Game of Thrones and noticed a lot of them have some nepotism small to large. For example: emilia clarkes dad was a theatre sound engineer and her mother took her to one of her fathers plays at a very young age which started her desire to act. No doubt her fathers connect…
