I’ve been writing a feature film script for a few years now, mostly out of my love for horror but I actually think it’s pretty good. realistically it would have to be low/no budget because I’m a broke actor. My friend owns a few air bnbs she offered in exchange that she could do special effect makeup for her portfolio.…

Ran into a really famous actor in my neighborhood while waiting in line. I wanted to say hi love your work I'm an actress too etc etc. but was too shy. Ugh!!! I always feel a little guilty for not saying hi to certain incredible actors, musicians, directors, you name it, who I cross paths with - and it happens all the…

I've always been interested in doing voice over work even just as a hobby, but only ever dabbled in it until last year where I started my channel and regularly produced and took part in VO projects. Unlike all my other hobbies, though, VO work is something I know I have a decent amount of talent in that's actually gott…

Anyone else agree? I know you can currently check to see only background roles, but it would be great to be able to filter them out.

Hey community! I was requested to audition but I’m not NYC based I’m in the DMV area. I have to confirm my location in the self-tape. Should I say “willing to work as a Local” or not audition at all?

The other day I made I post to this subreddit. TLDR I went to an anime con and a voice actor liked my performance in a panel so much that I was offered an audition for a game that he was casting.

Just curious, can they see my cmails that I receive directly from casting?

I checked back later and it said the deadline is extended another full week. -- But I can't edit or re-upload my submission to add the 2nd scene. Has this happened to anyone else before? I r…

I am a 36 year old deep in a job search in my field with too much time on my hands, reflecting on how acting brings me more joy than...pretty much anything else.

And yet I’ve somehow managed to bag myself a crazy opportunity at being in a film. It’s literally just been given to me two days ago and it begins tomorrow. I’m to be “tried out”.

I had a conversation with someone who held the belief that porn/sex work/onlyfans and the sex workers who partake in this type of work are comparable to acting and the actors who partake in playing out explicit scenes. They held the belief that at the end of the day it's just business. They were surprised when I said I…

Hello Reddit! Could someone help me figure something out. I've been receiving amazing opportunities for roles that I felt I nailed, and sure I get how it could come down to a very small detail in why they chose someone else, but I also can't help wonder if being Non-Union has also hurt me.

It’s a small speaking roll but I’m so happy to see my IMDb page and the words actress right underneath it. I’ve never acted so I just got lucky to get offered the role my very first time auditioning.

Last week, I posted about how I got to audition for my first role in a feature. I was offered a role yesterday. It's not the part I read for, but it's a role with dialog and name credit. Plus some cool CGI moments. It took me 10 years to get here, but it's finally happening. Thanks for all your well wishes in my previo…

I’m very interested in getting into voice acting, I’ve already read Dee Bradley Baker’s “I want to be a voice actor”, and now I’m considering my next move in terms of education.

If you’ve uploaded “clips” to AA vs. your entire reel, what have you found is the best number of clips to include with your submissions to roles? I really struggle with figuring this out. Pros of sending fewer: you can be more targeted in which ones you send (if possible) and, therefore, they are more likely to see the…

Hey everyone, I used to work at a call center job where just about everyone would come up to me and tell me I should be a voice actor.
