Hello, I am working on an experimental electronic track and I need a couple (2-5) of abstract English sentences pronounced by an adult Ugandan voice actor in an authentic Ugandan English accent.

Hey all, I'm new here and am looking into acting classes near Howard County, MD and I have some questions. Please forgive any ignorance on my part. 1) Are acting classes specific to theater vs TV vs commercials or do all the skills run together? i.e. would I need to take intro classes specific to each form of acting? 2…

Hi. I just recorded an audition last night that’s due today at 1pm, and was listed on Actors Access later in the day on Monday. I work Monday through Friday 7:30-4pm generally, and so really I had less than two days to memorize five pages. While I’m at least happy the casting got back to me letting me audition (should…

Guys. I know people have posted about Amy Jo Berman before, but I was curious (and had seen her ads on Facebook & Instagram soooooooooo many times) so I attended her free online seminar last night.

I’ve recently been watching videos breaking down body language in the actors from The Walking Dead and I never realized how insanely nuanced some of it is.

Hi guys! I know someone working on a video game and the person would love to include some voice acting for the characters but since it's their first game they don't have the budget to pay voice actors right now.

I received a request for a self-tape for a student film. Originally I wasn’t going to do it, but it pays decent money and my agent has been quiet lately, so I decided to say yes and record a tape. The problem is that this specific tape is asking for an on-screen scene partner, not an off-screen reader like usual. They…

Just interested in polling whether most actors here/in general will read or watch the full play they’re auditioning for when first auditions only consist of a monologue from any play.

Back then, there was a suggestion that actors should only do about 3-5 costar roles to avoid getting stuck in Costar Land (a limbo-like stage in your career where you only play roles like Person #1, Student #2, Barista #3, etc.) The idea was that you were saving yourself for bigger roles. As we all know, everything has…
