It says “lgbtq+ or non binary actors” but in the slate the only instructions are to say how you relate to the character- who’s description also says “either lgbtq+ or non binary” lol. I’m a lesbian, so I’m not sure if I should just say that since it seems like they haven’t decided on what the characters going to be, or…

I was an extra for 2 dhar mann videos. As all the actors said, tehy made me clear out an entire week and all I did was just walk around in a background in their mall. The rest of the time i just stood around. I saw Dhar Mann once, which was apparently extremely rare and he was a dick to everyone, jsut acting like a Div…

Apologies if this may be sporadic: Recently I’ve been feeling stuck in my work as a voice actor. I know it’s a little bit of everything as to why I’m not getting anywhere. I would need materials to make a new booth instead of my closet, better soundproofing. Might need new equipment: I have a RODE NT1-A mic, with an Au…

This was posted to Facebook by [Daryl Marks](https://darylmarks.com/), one of my FB friends. **Things I wish I learned in Theatre School**. 1.“Stealing the show” is not a compliment.

First time poster! I have read many interesting and inspiring takes on this sub, so I came to ask this question that just came into my mind. So the question why there is a disproportionate amount of famous and beloved actors from the UK has been discusses many times. What I perceive to be the most common argument is th…

long story short i have a very confusing and difficult teacher who doesn’t like to explain or post work at all.

This is a short post, and if you already know what an NDA is then skip this. Their seems to be some confusion about people applying for jobs. I'm going to use Videogames for this example. For videogames, the large majority of the voice acting is work you audition for. Why? Because it's usually a secret. Consider the id…

Hey guys! I am an actor located in Nashville. Does anyone have any idea of the scene here is changing? I hear rumbling of it being “the new atlanta” but I feel like this could be just a thing people are saying.

This is a question that has bugged me for as long as I've been an actor. How does it happen???? Every day I flip on my TV and continually see people who can't act their way out of a paper bag.

The thought that AI might take away jobs for voice actors has become a big concern over the past year or so. There are some people that even feel that VO will be a dying artform because of it.

Hey y’all, appreciate your time reading this. Lately I’ve been really humbled by the perception that I want to act because I want fame.
