I'm 22 years old and have reached final callbacks to go to NYU for graduate school. Obviously a great oppurtunity but incredibly expensive. If i want to be film actor is it worth it to go to NYU and train or should i just move to LA and try to start a career. Background: I have no reel, or any acting experience. I took…

Sorry if I sound like an immature millenial but I loathe classical authors such as Shakespeare, and in every acting school they seem obsessed with them. So, is it like a mandatory step that every actor have to go through ?

Hey friends! I'm an LA based actor. I had a recurring role on an Amazon tv show a few years ago (was in 9/10 episodes). While I've had a few managers and agents over the past couple of years, I wasn't going out on auditions and I am agent-less once more. It's been so challenging finding quality representation. I have s…

My daughter is a young actor who has a manager. So far he has helped her get booked on a reenactment non-union cable episode, but not much else. On her own, my daughter auditioned and was cast in a sub 99 seat theatre production here in Los Angeles. My question: does she need to give her manager a cut of the theatre pr…

\[The questions will be at the bottom of the post since the post might be quite long\] Hi! I am an aspiring voice actor who has currently nothing on his belt.

i get auditions so randomly, but right now I have a guest star tape for a show and I have nobody to help me rehearse with, the actor friends I do have (who are struggling) are too jealous / competitive to even be in the right mindset to be happy for me and help me (I encounter this a lot), and coordinating with other p…

How is it going for everyone? I know things changed in the past years and now they make offers for name actors, but isn’t there still auditions for unknown actores?

Hey peeps! I'm writing an article for my blog on all the free software downloads available for voice actors. During my research, I stumbled across something called "[ocenaudio](http://www.ocenaudio.com/whatis)". And it looks pretty sweet. There's no support for multiple tracks which means it's a bit easier to use than…

I’m a lead in a short film this weekend & I have a scene where I’m expected to cry/“sob”. I’m really nervous! Especially since (in the script at least) I go from discussing something to BAM crying within a very small window. I’ve been pursuing acting for less than a year & I’ve never had a scene like this. I’ve been ab…

Being an actor, I take the craft and the business VERY seriously. I have schooling, experience, talent (At least I think I do). I have outgrown my current city (Pittsburgh) and am saving up to move. I have studied method acting, and take the craft very seriously. Some of my biggest inspirations like De Niro, Pacino, Dr…

Straight to the point, I have a misdemeanor for battery from an idiotic drunken fight I got into years ago. It's a bit complicated but I wasn't convicted (I'm not sure that really matters, though).

I'm an actor that just recently moved to New York. I had an audition today, and my first song went beautifully. I got head nods and everything.

I recently got an Actors Access account. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and so far I’ve submitted myself to every single role match that popped up on there but I’ve received zero responses.

I'm quite happy with it. Granted, I can definitely hear a thing or two that I may kick myself over for the rest of my life, but I'm quite stoked with the results. I'm fairly new to the VO game.
