I'm about to take headshots with a professional photographer. However, I don't live in a country where actor headshots are a popular thing so the photohrapher doesn't really know what to do. What type of headshots a "must-have?" What should we know beforehand?

I've always been fascinated with how actors sort of become their characters. That is what I first fell in love with about films. So I wanted to be an actor. So far though I've never been on set(because I either didn't get the part or if I did I couldn't go due to far location) or gone to acting classes(hardly any in my…

This has always held me back in trying to become a voice actor. I am from Trinidad and Tobago and don't think there's much work needed for such a specific accent.

First, I love you all for your voice acting work. Animation wouldn't be possible without you. I just got to thinking about this after watching *Transformers: The Movie* the other day.

I’m in Chicago and it seems the only one to get good auditions is if you are with the top 3-4 agents which just don’t seem to care about me.
