They can work in animation or video games, but basically, who in American voiceover acting today do you feel have a large variety of voices for a large variety of different characters today? As an aspiring actor, I'm very interested in the concept of "character acting". Specifically, how (voice) actors can find charact…

Hi! I'm planning to move to NYC in August - probably Manhattan or Brooklyn. I'm also planning to start submitting for VO and audiobook narration projects. I'm a trained actor with an agent - just haven't booked anything yet. My agency also has a VO department. And I'm applying for a VO mentorship program through Pengui…

A rich 20 something who’s worked with some of the hottest music producers (to mediocre but above average success) and is decent looking (not brad Pitt but not hideous) He doesn’t have to worry about auditions not working out because he has money to fall on but he does take his acting craft seriously because he works wi…

I am a new non-union actor without an agent and recently got cast for a guest star (1 day) role in a low budget indie drama series. The producer then sent me a pdf of Talent Agreement form and asked me to sign and email him back. However, there’s a field in the form to fill out my social security number. I am always sk…

I'm just curious, but are there any voice actors who started out as voice actors and then went on to become famous on screen actors (perhaps through their voice acting experience)? It just seems like it's more common to see it happening the other way around where people start out as on screen actors, become really famo…

So I got an audition from my agent on ecocast (YAY!!) so it says I got a request for the audition but when I keep reading it says - offer only names. Soooooo I'm not a named actor or anything but.....I mean....do I still do it? I feel dumb if I respond and ask my agent like yo you sure you gotta the right person?

Do you absolutely need an agent? I know there’s such thing as open casting calls but where can I find legit verified and serious people looking for actors? I guess what I’m asking is what is the standard that most casting agents/ directors use to seek talent?

The show basically takes place in the future, ranging from a few years in the future to several decades. Almost every single episode (exception of one) is a one-man-show with Name actors in a singular set. The acting is phenomenal, with interesting stories that have a lot of heart. Seems like a phenomenal resource for…

I know some movies have even been made with iPhones and they look good.

https://voca.ro/11qzUoBpz1bY So I’ve been considering doing voice acting as a hobby, however the biggest issue that I’m facing at the moment is that I don’t necessarily like the sound of my own voice that much whenever I hear it after being recorded.

There was a thread Thursday asking what has improved our acting most and I replied that a big part of what has made me better over the last year is my self-tape practice.

I quit 15 yrs ago because for me, the uncomfortable truth in my past experience was the immediate limitations for me due to race. Back then 99% castings were only for white people.
