Hey folks, I'm a newer voice actor and I'm looking to get more training. I've taken a few online courses through On The Mic Training. They were great, but I want to see what other schools and teachers have to offer. So, what online courses did you take? What did you learn? Was it worth the price? For reference, I've ta…

I think after twenty years in the business I can define our ultimate problem as actors in one distilled answer. The number one problem we face as actors, stems from a catch-22. Our business is results driven, BUT, our expectations of those results ultimately work against us. We know CD's, producers, and reps want resul…

Has anyone actually received a callback or booked any work from Cast It Talent? It seems pretty similar to Actors Access so I was wondering what others experiences were with it.

I've read acting advice, and writing advice, and moving to LA advice, but it's hard to find advice for all three put together-- or much writer/actor advice at all.

As a newcomer, is it worth it to start getting into the business during the pandemic? Like getting an agent, getting into SAG-AFTRA, etc. My mentor had said that most of the work during these times will be going to those top actors or actors who agents are already familiar with who have been out of work because of Covi…

I'm interested in starting a youtube channel with at least one voice actor, with me not being one and doing different things on the channel.

A quick question about contracts I'm currently doing with my actors for an upcoming SAG-approved project. Does anyone know if it is necessary to put the complete number in the contract? On the form, it looks like it - no mention of "only last four digits" or something? Thanks

That’s a big misconception that a lot of aspiring voice actors have about the work - you use a unique voice for every single role you take on. The best voice actors - Laura Bailey, Nolan North, John DiMaggio, Mark Hamill etc, are all innately recognisable actors who are all definitely capable of shows of extreme voice…

I read on YouTube, a comment in a video of the movie that said the following: «When you watch a movie you see them act emotionally and it makes sense because XYZ just happened in the movie.

Hey! New actor here. What's the order that you guys typically do for a self tape? Does the slate usually go before the scenes, or after? And do you guys include a title card only in the beginning, or in both the beginning and end?
