Ideally this person should be able to act out multiple characters (with convincingly different voices).

Hey there voice actors! I did some theatre in highschool, and some during college, and then the pandemic hit. I miss doing shows, and after recording some vocals for a few songs, I realized I miss acting too. I can do a decent British accent (for an American

A quick question about contracts I'm currently doing with my actors for an upcoming SAG-approved project. Does anyone know if it is necessary to put the complete number in the contract? On the form, it looks like it - no mention of "only last four digits" or something? Thanks

That’s a big misconception that a lot of aspiring voice actors have about the work - you use a unique voice for every single role you take on. The best voice actors - Laura Bailey, Nolan North, John DiMaggio, Mark Hamill etc, are all innately recognisable actors who are all definitely capable of shows of extreme voice…

I read on YouTube, a comment in a video of the movie that said the following: «When you watch a movie you see them act emotionally and it makes sense because XYZ just happened in the movie. But in reality XYZ didn’t happen at all. The actor just came from breakfast and when someone yells "Action" he makes the character…

Hey! New actor here. What's the order that you guys typically do for a self tape? Does the slate usually go before the scenes, or after? And do you guys include a title card only in the beginning, or in both the beginning and end?

I am a young actor who still hasn't gotten a foot in the door. I have no questions of ability as I have worked with top tier actors and more than held my own. I have an opportunity on a film but the film is something I would not necessarily take pride in. It is a sci-fi type b horror movie with what seems like actors w…

Hey, I hope this isn't a silly question, but what should you consider when looking for your "type." Should it be based only around the age I look, or should I consider my height and race?

He truly is one of the best actors out there. Every time I watch him I'm glued to the screen. He truly commits to the character and doesn't let go lol. He's soooo good and inspiring.

He’s a relatively popular actor from Wales, but most people don’t know his name. Played Elton John in Rocketman and starred as Eggsy in the Kingsman franchise, among other things.

I don’t know if anyone else has felt this way, or if it’s just some grandiose fantasy. I understand the odds of truly being successful as an actor. Trust me, I’m aware.

but it appears to have no option to update anything. The edit resume tool is useless. If I try to fill it out it does not even save what I type.

Hey! Random question... Do people who have a high amount of followers or are already famous singers/actors/etc have a better chance at getting into certain drama schools?
