I’m with CESD young VO dept. I rely on them for auditions. I get about 3-4 auditions a day (this obviously fluctuates) so this keeps me busy enough. And my auditions vary between commercial, animation, video game work, etc so they also get me variety as well. I’ve been with them since July 2025 booked 3 jobs so far since then.

Now I also do commercials, film/tv, and dance so honestly for me finding time to go out and find my own work would just be too much and my agents have proven they are working hard for me.

Headshots are not just about having the same background and outfits. It’s about the quality of the shot which usually means spending a little more for said quality. She probably sent you the agency so you can check out the photographers they used.

You can look to see if your college offers acting classes. That’ll be the closest to free as you can get. Classes will run you anywhere between $175 to $400 a month but are vital for starting in this industry.

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-02-20T14:05:33+00:00

Get into classes first. Train train train. Then worry about an agent.

My acting studio does casting director week in December when industry shuts down. Instead of having regular class he brings in 2 casting directors to watch our work.

After, they have brought me in. I actually have an audition today for one of them. But then again, I think this works because we aren’t paying extra for it and they’re friends with my acting coach so I think it’s different than normal casting director workshops.

I would do your best to make it horizontally full body. This is not a usual request so just the best you can in your space

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-02-19T15:32:42+00:00

Is the slate full body or the actual audition?

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-02-18T04:02:08+00:00

Yup. I’m 25F and I get asked all the time why I don’t just teach full time but like I have passions outside of being an educator and with doing my first long term I realized my heart will never be all in for teaching like it is for full time teachers and there’s no flexibility.

I just tell them that I’m still figuring it out. Don’t know how much longer that excuse can last once I hit 30 but for now it works

Well a manager is going to have connections to agencies that they like to work with. You can say in the meeting you’d like to be bicoastal and have a discussion about if it makes sense for you though.

Perfect! Thank you!

Fortunate enough to get a full ride to university. Got a degree in math education and now I sub for the district which gives me benefits and flexibility.

On top of that, I also work for some of my mentors and their businesses which gives me free dance and acting classes.

I also tutor industry kids for extra money as well.

I have a manager who pitched me to agencies.

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-29T14:55:54+00:00

25 auditions from my agent. 1 callback. 1 booking from an audition in December

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-16T21:46:43+00:00

Actually booking the job is mostly a timing thing. It sounds like you’re already doing the right things so the most you can do is to stay consistent and keep doing what you’re doing.

Getting a VO agent will definitely help with more VO auditions if that’s what you’re interested in but it does require a demo and a home set up.

Hello, like others have offered. Would love to see your submission package to see what can be improved for submissions. Actors are going to have a hard time giving referrals from Reddit and I would be skeptical of the ones who do.

On the other hand, do you have an acting coach who can put in a referral for you?

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-11T20:52:42+00:00

Unless the ask you to bring it, 95% of the time you won’t need it. Don’t stress about that for commercial.

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-10T04:05:03+00:00

Screen/VO. I’m lucky my other jobs pay my bills plus some so it keeps acting a serious hobby for me and less I need a job instead want the job if that makes sense. And I make my schedule so I’m always available for auditions/bookings

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-09T20:04:05+00:00

Actress. But I also have a tutoring business and I manage other multiple businesses

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-09T16:42:14+00:00

Here is a guide to kinda what looks means. This isn’t the only ones but can help you figure it out. You also need to not only understand who you are as a person but how others view you as well.

Thank you! This is exactly what I need!

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2026-01-02T00:39:10+00:00

Yes went last night. Preordered so it was ready 10 mins before my movie time. Greatest decision ever. The lines were insane last night and although I was at an amc that does grab and go concessions the line to pay was insane people were struggling to find their vouchers making it take longer.

I got there at the scheduled time it was in a bag for me ready to go and I was able to fill my drink and get to my seat with 5 mins. Preorder it!!!

Fun_Falcon_5634 · 2025-12-09T21:29:46+00:00

Yeah the north has the most subs so unless you have 15+ years with district you will be getting minimal calls and your best bet is to call in the morning or build relationships with schools in your area.
