Has anyone done the voice over tutorials on skillshare - were they worthwhile? (I am a trained actor but new to VO and want to set up a home studio) I wanted to ask before I fork out for a membership. Otherwise any workshops / coach recommendations in London are appreciated. Thanks!

Ever since I could remember all I ever wanted was to be was an actor , but to me acting is being comfortable in your own skin cause how could u not like yourself and try to be someone else, it doesn’t work and a big part of holding me back from my goal is over eating, I’m not even fat but it more so affects my self est…

Hi so basically my question is, how rare is it for a canadian actor/actress to work on a major film or show in the states with no/ barely any formal training. I ask this question because in the past 1-2 years ive noticed two actresses ( maitreyi ramakrishnan and iman velanni) get such epic roles. Now for maitreyi what…

After having taken several different acting classes, at different schools with different techniques and different teachers, I've come to the conclusion that most acting classes are a big waste of time. The reason why is because you spend 95% of the class sitting and watching other people, then maybe if you're lucky, th…

I went 3 years with 2 different agents. One agent only got me 1 audition the whole year, while the other agent I had, while being green and ignorant, I paid $245 per year to be apart of the agency which only got me 6 or 7 student film auditions with no paid gig auditions. I am not really sure what I was thinking, I gue…

There is only one problem, I pronounce words incorrectly to the point where I sound like I'm…

***major social anxiety, self confidence problems and fear of rejection***. These are all horrible things when you would like to be an actor.

Question for fun: Kind of a weird question maybe, but I was wondering if there were any requirements I was missing that would prevent someone from using a different name for different jobs in the film industry. Like, as an actor they use "Nova Star" but when they direct they are "Luna Leader" and they write under "Pen…

When I stop pursuing acting about 7 years ago. All auditions were in person.

I have heard a lot of advice here that turned out to be wrong. I am not saying they are wrong for every market, but it didn’t work for me in my city.

I know, classically, people say "peas and carrots" but I've never seen anyone actually do that. Usually I describe some generic problem and act like the other actor is asking follow-up questions or suggesting solutions (since I can never tell what they're actually saying). What does everyone else say/do?
