I am not sure if this is the place to ask, or if I should go to a law subreddit. If I had a project that used union voice actors, and I wanted a friend to have a line or a small part in my project, would that be allowed? Would I even be allowed to VA in my own project?

I just hit my 100th audition yesterday!!! :) (no vo’s included) I’m so proud of myself. This has been the hardest couple months of my life. I left everything to go to LA for 3 months just so I could…

This sub says we can make posts about jobs if we are paying which I am planning on doing so. I need two actors for one day of filming (8-10 hours). The film is mostly a conversation piece with a few moving shots here and there. I'm the only crew member since it is not difficult to film, but I really need some experienc…

Hi! I'm an animator who's working on a short two-minute animation. (The premise of the piece is satire of late-stage capitalism, so maybe a job for someone who is more on the left side of things) The scene that I need a voiceover for is a TV advertisement, with the presenter lip synced to the voice. The short script I'…

Ok so college app season is starting to heat up and I’m struggling to write my creative statements and essays for drama programs.

Agents who decide to sign non union actors, how do they go about that? Do they get the standard SAG contract?

Hey guys - I'm wondering if any Toronto talent can give me advice on looking for theatre auditions. I'm a working tv/film actor but my agent hasn't been able to find anything for me and I'm struggling on google. Currently non union. Is theatre still trying to come back from Covid?

Crunchyroll has chosen to recast Mob’s English voice actor, I think it’s important to rally behind him and other English dub voice actors right now.

I know, it’s a really dumb question that’s been asked hundreds of times. But I’m just stuck at a crossroads as to where I should start as a voice actor.

Hello everybody! I just finished a 3 year acting course. Even though it isn't a uni, it's still something for my CV. In my country we only have one acting school.

Hi Y'all! Not 100% sure on if this is allowed. The feels like it might fit into the 'headshots feedback' category, but there wasn't anything explicitly about showreels in the FAQs or rules.

Found this in my local actors Facebook group. Even if it’s legit… it’s a bit weird.

It says it wants the leads from my city but that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me if they’re not going through big…

These actors never relied on physically large bodies to attract attention, these actors are so refined in the way they move, talk, walk and they have so much influence in the industry then you look at the actors now are relying on physicality they seem more like meatheads then actors, like chris hemsworth, will puolter…

I had an Audition today for a job that pays really well and would help me out a lot.

Hi all, I have no background as an actor so to prepare for acting I started reading books by Constantin Stanislavski and Larry Moss.

I want to preface this post by saying that I'm very grateful to be an actor who gets a lot of auditions. But I'm also allowed to be grateful and exhausted at the same time.

I just met with a manager at a big named LA management company—which I was super lucky to get. I really liked them for their realism.

I just got off the phone with SAG-AFTRA. Neither Boone (or Boone Helm) nor B.E.K are now or have ever been union productions.
