Have/do any of you fellow Atlanta actors work with this agency? From the research I've done I'm confident they're 'legit' as in don't require you to take acting classes (they might recommend but it's not required), they don't require you to get headshots through their photographers, none of that fancy stuff. All they a…

I got an audition for a non-union episodic in LA but have been staying with family in Fl because of the pandemic. It’d cost more for me to get there than what I’d be making on the booking. But... do cd’s get angry when they want you to audition and you don’t? Is it seen as unprofessional? Or do they get so many submiss…

Fellow voice actors! Just wanted to let everyone know that Izotope is having a sale on a bunch of their plugins including Elements. I grabbed Rx7 Elements when it went on sale a few months back and it has been unbelievably helpful. The voice-de noise/de hum can literally take out the sound of a full blown air condition…

Ahh, the audition. The lifeblood of any actor's career. A single audition could change the game for an actor. But before we show up and step into the spotlight for our chance, what do we do? As a voice actor, auditions are a little different for me, but I treat each one as if I'm in the room with the casting director,…

Hey guys, So, yes, we actors are used to indirect rejection when we simply don’t hear back about a casting. However, there are times when you don’t hear back for months and then you get a callback or book outright. With open calls, it’s a little different because they typically mention when they’ll need the actor to be…
