As title - also what is the cause? I wasn't sure where best to ask this question, but I figured a voice acting subreddit would be the best place. I am not a voice actor, or a regular actor, and have no experience with acting. But it seems to be more or less universal that when you take a random, untrained person and te…

Hi, this may be a bit off topic in this subreddit but I have nowhere to ask advice to…, so here goes. I recently just graduated from high school, and I want to become an actor.

Hello! New-ish voice actor here! I’ve been doing some recordings with my Rode NT-1 mic w/ A-1 interface, and I think I’m having a problem as I play back my recordings. The DAW I’m using is Audacity, and since the day I opened the mic, all of my recordings upon playback, have been littered with a bunch of pops, clicks a…

I am booked to work four days this week an hour away from home as a background actor on a miniseries. Yesterday went very well!

I really want to be an actor, and I think that I might be good at it, but I was interested to know if there is a way that I can double major with acting and something else.

Back when I was an actor, if you wanted to be taken seriously you didn't list extra roles, no matter how big the show. For those of you who are working actors, has this way of thinking changed?

Hello fellow actors, Those of you who do voiceovers, I have a question. Do you submit within your country only?

So in movies, all the actions that happen, dates, fights, touching (physical acts) are they all scripted as well or do the actors just have to anticipate what to do for their characters? I’ve just been wondering how it works when it comes to any type of action the actors do.

My reason is :Immortality. I want something of me to exist a hundred years from now.
