I've just recently started submitted myself to roles on actor's access along with the ones my agent already submits me for. If I were to book one of these roles I was wondering when/how is typically the best way to get your agent involved? My agent is really great, she doesn't take commission on roles I book myself, bu…

There are a lot of productions that don't require any vaccination or covid tests at all. Especially lower-budget ones. To be honest, I've mostly been paranoid and shy'ed away from the ones that dont require any covid testing. Then at times, for the right project I went in blindly, knowing there wasn't any testing. With…

Newcomer here! Just got my first commercial demo on tape and will be working towards getting my animation one done next.

I know nothing about acting: on-screen or voice acting. Watching behind the scenes of voice actors doing "dubbing", was amazed how much effort and expression they put. So this thought occured to me, "if a voice actors is basically acting behind the scenes while dubbing, could they be good on screen/stage also?". There…

If you want to become a succesful actor, what I mean. I mean in my eyes, me being born in eastern european country, I have so much less chance at doing what I love, earning enough from it and actually becoming recognised here than someone born in USA, UK, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan and such. (especially USA an…

I’m gonna get straight to the point. I have a passion for film/acting. As an actor, I personally believe that my abilities could get me very, very far in the future. Like, really far. However, if I do not get far, I can’t see myself doing anything else with my life. My ultimate goal is to play Nova in the MCU (Childhoo…

I'm often conscious of directing actors in the best possible way - i.e. giving them just the right prompts to nudge them in the right direction, without seeming like I'm holding their hand throughout. As a non-actor myself, I'm curious to know if there's anything particular I should do or avoid in this regard. Is there…

Hello! As stated earlier, I got my first role in a comic dub. I’m playing the role of Momo Yaoyorozu, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me, maybe how to speak clearly and maintain a voice, or if ‘preserving’ your voice by not talking really does anything, or any form of tips! Thank you

People can now produce a cartoon from their bedroom using a computer and tools like Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. They can also produce the music for it on their computer, too. And with a homemade vocal booth and a good mic, they can also voice the characters, with maybe a little help from a sister or wife. So i…
