I know they have relationships. I know I am new to them, I know I may not have enough credits for the agents they do have relationships with, so maybe I ask them to help me get somebody closer towards my level? Should I be expecting them to do this on their own? I know that’s what a good manager does. I don’t want to c…

I have seen a lot from Marlon Brando,Al Pacino,De Niro etc.I saw Bryan Cranston's Walter White.They were all brilliant,especially Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. But there is no performance that amazed me like Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano. We are not talking about quality of movies and tv shows from these actors…

# Introduction I am currently working on a mature cartoon titled **"Intercontinental Drag Racing"**. *(I label it as "mature" simply because of some of the swearing and occasional violence in it, though it's nothing too extreme.)* I am currently looking for voice actors to play the roles of main and side characters in…

Like all of us, I've had a rough year in this industry. I only auditioned a handful of times, and I got dropped by two agencies. When I was offered the chance to be interviewed for a blog, I had to say yes! Any other actors do some press recently they'd like to share?! I'd love to read up! Link: [https://www.onstageblo…

I've learned so much from this Reddit Community, so first of all, thank you! I'm curious - we have all levels of actors on here - and I was wondering if anyone's had a brush with fame and what that felt like when you started to get noticed?

This morning I decided I will make plans to pursue a hidden dream. I go out for a walk at noon, towards the town center, while listening to Dave Chappelle.

I guess this question is more for the one's who have interned/worked at a CD office. I realized that the producers/decision makers probably don't have access to our full Actor's Access profiles...so what materials do CD's usually send to accompany our tapes? Also I'd like to know how the CD's share the tapes. Is it thr…

I recently did a short film in which one of the cast members decided to add their part to their IMDb credits, so there was a profile created automatically for me.

Unless the scene clearly calls for an outward display of a particular emotion—sadness, pleading, joy—I’ve finding that most men, especially in typically masculine roles, project their voices in often low, sometimes whispery tones and there’s minimal inflection or lilt. As an amateur male actor who thought I need to exp…

So I'm a VA who has only recorded for video games and animation. It's occurred to me recently that if I want an agent, I need a commercial reel.
