Okay well I already did but just please read and give me advice. At first, I was really happy with my decision, but lately I’ve had some doubts. I got into acting when I was 11 because I really loved singing and the studio I was at offered acting lessons so why not? I auditioned for Disney stuff and even was in a music…

Last year I moved to Seattle and started taking acting classes, doing stand up, and some other endeavors, with the long term goal of making a living by not sitting in a cubicle. While taking acting classes I found out quickly that voice actors take acting classes to improve their craft. I also had an encounter with the…

I've always wanted to be an actor and I cry sometimes from sadness at the thought I'll never be able to have my dream come true. If I could just get one speaking role even if it's just a few lines in a TV show or film (one that's not a student film or something that people will likely never watch a year or 2 down the r…

Hi everyone. I am looking for voice actors to work with for a project of mine on Instagram called @freshdoseofnothing. It is primarily centered around comedy and I only use audio for my videos (and then a visualizer for the video) since my computer is not good enough to edit videos. I have two videos on there and you c…

I am a relatively new actor based in NYC. I was wondering if it was reasonable to move to Santa Barbara and still be able to take advantage of the acting world in Los Angeles.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that to become a better actor you go to acting lessons, you analyse film and then the other 90% is actually ACTING a scene or whatever. However I would now like to ask a question with the comparison of acting to sport, when you are for example playing basketball, you will tra…

I've recently come to the conclusion there are two types of actors. One that discover acting at an early age, and they then pursue it, and it gives them hope and direction for the rest of their lives in some fashion...and if they don't listen, they end up rudderless and have to scrape everything together in an unorthod…

I did a few voice acting lines for some people a while back but I never did anything professional, I'm cheap, I can do voice impressions of cartoon characters pretty well my best include Rick Sanchez, Peter Griffin, and Kermit the frog.
