Hi everyone, I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, so any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’m an American woman in my late 20s living in Tokyo, but lately I’ve really been wanting more acting opportunities, like in the U.S. or even other parts of the world. I live in Japan (going on 10 years) beca…

Has anyone ever held themselves back from getting into acting because of a fear of publicity? Since I was a kid, I've always loved acting, and the art behind filmmaking has always interested me, but I have also always had OCD. Part of this gives me the worst intrusive thoughts. One being that I am a terrible person and…

I remember being younger and visiting a bunch of cons as a pre teen but I would notice that every once in a while a voice actor would kinda just be alone at a booth. I always worried that if I ever got invited to a con then that would be me. But for VA's that have gone through that, how was it? Were you relieved, bored…

# I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Project Hail Mary on Audible while also watching the new season of Mushoku Tensei. I'm struck by how much the English voice actor for Rudeus's past life and inner voice, Ben Phillips, sounds like Ray Porter, the narrator of the Project Hail Mary audiobook. They really sound…

I’m a newer actor, and the package I purchased only includes five final photos, so I really want to make sure I’m choosing images that represent me well. Before the shoot, I had talked with my agent and we both agreed that we wanted the photos to demonstrate a range of characters/types. She gave me some feedback afterw…

I am curious about posting your work on social media as an actor. Do you think that when you post the work you do that it helps you get more work or do you think it helps with your branding?

I recently joined an acting class and I'm trying to understand whether the instructor's teaching approach is normal/legitimate, especially for someone with absolutely no prior acting experience.

Wasn't sure exactly the best place to post this, since while Hadestown is a musical in Broadway, my question stems from auditioning for a virtual production, which is considerably heavier on the voice acting side vs just flat out theatre. A little about myself, I'm a baritone with a bass range - what I mean is, my usab…

I have a manager who I think is really solid and great. They don't want me self submitting on anything anymore.

I’ve seen interviews where these two fine actors put distance between themselves and their iconic characters, and give credit to the writing. “The writing is what brought the character out of me”.
