This morning I decided I will make plans to pursue a hidden dream. I go out for a walk at noon, towards the town center, while listening to Dave Chappelle. At one point in the video, he says the word "Artform". I have a habit of looking down while I am listening and walking but THE MOMENT he says that word, I look up,…

I guess this question is more for the one's who have interned/worked at a CD office. I realized that the producers/decision makers probably don't have access to our full Actor's Access profiles...so what materials do CD's usually send to accompany our tapes? Also I'd like to know how the CD's share the tapes. Is it thr…

I recently did a short film in which one of the cast members decided to add their part to their IMDb credits, so there was a profile created automatically for me. Now that the casting landscape as turned to digital, actor's IMDb is inevitably going to be searched up by CD, producers, directors. So I was wondering, is i…

Unless the scene clearly calls for an outward display of a particular emotion—sadness, pleading, joy—I’ve finding that most men, especially in typically masculine roles, project their voices in often low, sometimes whispery tones and there’s minimal inflection or lilt. As an amateur male actor who thought I need to exp…

Suppose I needed to book some actors for the following specific shoots. It was a video shoot, but the entire shoot would feature a single actor monologuing into the camera. The camera(s) would not move nor would the lighting. There would be nothing to adjust or slow the shoot down. There would only be one actor on the…

So I'm a VA who has only recorded for video games and animation. It's occurred to me recently that if I want an agent, I need a commercial reel. I've listened to many different commercial reels on agency sites but every actor seems to have a reel made up of reads for big brand spots. My question is this: if you haven't…
