Hi acting, seeking advice I have a talented daughter (11) daughter with a great singing voice. She seems very keen on getting involved in more professional acting opportunities than in school. I am not showbiz savvy and am curious what I can or should do to support her. She asks me questions like can I book her for a s…

I was watching an Q&A with the actress Emily Watson at Oxford University and she said she is "just offered parts" and if she is required to audition it will be a screen test for a blockbuster produced by Hollywood (e.g. *Star Wars*, *Jurassic Park*). She said that this started after her Lars Von Trier's *Breaking the W…

Hey everyone! Some of you may have seen my post yesterday but the responses were good so I figured, why wait! My upcoming fictional podcast, The Storm Chasers, is seeking voice actors. Each role offers $20/hour for voice work. I'll be in communication during it to direct and I'll edit the audio when we're done so it's…

So I have a European and US passport. I am very grateful for that, but I've never lived in the EU mainly because of the financial cost of even making the move. I've been in Los Angeles as a SAG actor for quite a while. I struggle but get by, most months. I'm wondering if any americans have made the move to a European c…

An actress gave a film reel where she is perfect weight. About 10 % body fat. All the features stick out. And eyes. Well I met her on zoom and found she is 20 pounds heavier. She does not look obese necessarily. She still looks sexy enough. probably still would work. But there is no doubt the best version of the charac…

what is the difference between their actors compared to americans, how they work with you, what faux pas not to commit, as a director... etc... You might be aware in American indie film productions it's not unusual to be chaotic, full of divas, drama, and ego. I was told their actors aren't that way.

This may be a dumb question but thought I'd ask. In the past month, I have had two people on separate occasions ask me if I was an actor or that I looked like an actor. The first time I was buying sunglasses and the two women who worked there said I had "Riverdale vibes" (had to look it up to see what that meant). My d…

My agent has been sending me auditions and when I read about it, the CD wants a demo reel to even be considered. I don't have a demo reel even though I have a pretty decent resume.

Been playing around at trying to be a voice actor for a while now. And came across an interesting question that a Google search hasn't satisfactorily answered. Does a computer need an internal audio card to adequately process sound for professional applications or does an external interface suffice?
