Hi reddit. Got an email about a job from Askable. Looking for two weeks of recording 25hrs per week- $100 per hour. They said its for AI. No voice cloning. But for AI training purposes. What does that even mean? Yeah sure the money would be awesome but… I’d just be recording responses to a conversation with another act…

In searching the subject of teleprompters, most of the discussions in this group are two years old or older. So much has changed in this time that I thought I would create this new thread. The other day, my agent told me that the six-hour average it takes me to complete a self-tape is too long. An actor friend suggeste…

Hello dears, So I was hustling in the NYC audition grind for three years, then booked a full year of work at a regional theatre, then the pandemic happened and I lost my agent and the booking because the artistic director recast everything and I basically decided “f\*ck you people” and pivoted to journalism. I’m lookin…

I'm a hobbyist actor and stand-up comedian in my local town. I've taken several acting classes at nearby colleges and done a lot of monologue and partner-scene work in the last 7 years, but I've never seen any improvement in my facial expressiveness. Two issues: I have a narrow range, and when I consciously force an ex…

Okay, this post is purely for fun.I've written before about how a different actor in a role can make a different experience for the audience.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some honest feedback on my commercial demo reel.

Title is pretty self explanatory. I auditioned for a commercial some months ago, and just saw the actual commercial on TV today. It is eerily similar to my self tape beat by beat. The breakdown was a loose script with little direction outside of "a man sits by a fireplace shaving his groin." There was no direction abou…

To start, I used to not have crippling anxiety. I used to take loads of classes and never experienced fear.

I cannot relax and be the actor I know…

I've been very cautious about having my children on social media. I've posted them, but it's been very sporadic. Now that my son is looking to become an actor, though, I've been thinking about whether or not he needs an Instagram or Facebook page of his own. Does it make a difference?

Representation is one of the biggest milestones in an actor's career but the goal is not simply getting an agent or manager. It is getting the right one. Start by understanding what each does: agents secure and negotiate auditions and bookings, while managers take a broader view, guiding your career strategy, your mate…
