A while back I posted a narration here that I did as my collage assignment, and luckily, I was able to start narrating horror stories for a big YouTube channel. I was wondering, what is the usual payment for new voice actors such as me who does these types of work to strengthen their Portfolio? I want to know where I s…

I'm not an actor. I'm just curious. Are those trailers actors get on sets only for chilling when they're not needed or do they ever sleep in them overnight?

That title sounds horrible lmao Im trying to make a MCU style intro and I just need a bunch of different people to say 1 line so I can overlap them. I checked in r/recordthisforfree but it seems like a pretty dry sub. Would any of you happen to know of a active website I can go to and post a advertisement on?

I have heard a lot of advice here that turned out to be wrong. I am not saying they are wrong for every market, but it didn’t work for me in my city. So here are the advice you should not always listen to. “Having an agent is better than being self-represented” I get way more work, including roles on union productions,…

I look up stuff on the internet, but it seems so complicated: get an agent, have a home studio and apply for roles. I don't even know how to acquire said things. So, is there sites I can go to? Places I can go? How can I practice? Just any little piece of advice will be useful.

Hello, I want to ask a question... Due to personal reasons (Reasons I do not want to disclose) I want to ask if some voice actors (not all) accept rev share as payment? Again this is for personal reasons.

There was a post about this from 8 years ago, but there's a lot more people here now as well as different medication so I thought I'd ask this again. I got prescribed for 150mg of Wellbutrin daily and I'm super worried that it will dull my emotions and make emotionally connecting in a scene harder. I'm already not very…

I’ve lived a fucked up life. I had to act in order to survive. Not in a professional sense but as a literal way to survive. Act like you’re happy. Act like things are okay. Act like you like people. Act like you love. Act like you know. Maybe I do though? Maybe I am though? Are there any famous actors who’ve come from…

Hello, My name is Marilyn, and I'm a 17 year old trans girl. I came on here to talk about something that's been concerning to me.

Hello! I'm a non-union actor without an agent on hold for a digital promo spot. The pay is pretty low (a couple hundred), and the audition didn't state the intended usage or the buyout terms up front. I probably should have asked when I sent in my callback audition, but kept assuming they would tell me at some point du…

Hey there. Long time lurker. I'm in Australia, I've done a few short courses and I'm still pretty new to the career.

I know, classically, people say "peas and carrots" but I've never seen anyone actually do that. Usually I describe some generic problem and act like the other actor is asking follow-up questions or suggesting solutions (since I can never tell what they're actually saying). What does everyone else say/do?

Hi, so I’m considering getting into acting for hopefully a few minor roles or even as an extra in the future.

I've done improv for 2 decades now and I've also gone through Meisner training and I have to say some of the worst kind of feedback I think an actor can be given is that they are too 'in their head' - it only puts the actor more (you guessed it) in their head. I've heard it recently from one actor to another at a works…

Not an actor, just curious.

Is it part of the job or does everyone just bite their tongue…
