I'd like to get into voice over acting. I live in Brisbane now. I've always been told that I have an excellant voice for it and with my ability to mimic different accents and tones, I'd really like to give it a go, but noone in the industry seems to want to give out their contacts. Please put me out of my misery and give me some idea of whether its feasible or not.

Two things I would do.\nFirstly contact the TV stations in Brisbane, 7, 9 and 10 from memory.\nSecondly, try advertising agencies.\nGood luck.

You need to get as much experience as you can, so keep auditioning and doing local plays.  However, if you want to "hit it big" you're going to eventually have to take a chance and move to New York, Los Angeles, or some other large city with a vibrant entertainment scene.  Why should the industry folks come find you when there are thousands of actors and actresses who've made the commitment to come to THEM?

GL is trying to branch out. They talked about it with Kvapil. I guess they are just realizing that a lot of fans are woman and hey, put something that might reach out to them on it. Most of the guys have a bit of an acting bug, and will be happy to do something like that given the chance and time.

Get some Bob Marley and listen to how he spoke! And try and copy him...do it for a while though!\n\nKeep it up, mon!! It's one cool accent!Oh, you;d probably have to know all their slang words to get more of an idea of what the accent is like! Just google it!\n=)

I say if film is your passion than go for it. I had to council my best friend through her decision to become a film major and she ended up going for it. Now she is so happy she made that decision. It is not as unsafe as you would think either. There are so many different jobs to be filled in the industry. I'm pursuing a music career and sometimes it seems hopeless and lame, but i don't want to look back when I am older and say "I should have tried to be a musician!".

Think of a moviestar that you admire. And develop her personality. I have a older friend and she adores "Angela Landsbury"(murder she wrote series) She can give a talk in church and now she talks like her. And she keeps herself perfect.She loves herself. And her husband acts like "Douglas Fairbanks Jr. He worked on his voice. so it sounds beautiful speaking voice. And acts like him and evan jumps like him.(he is a old time actor) my mom had to tell me about him.But they have self confidence coming out of their pores.\nThe sad part is they can't act like themselves. But people love them more than ever and they get respect too. But remember one thing,your just as good as anyone else. I have to remember that too. Take care and have a happy thanksgiving.

Hmm, I have a good friend from near there and I can hear no accent at all.  Sometimes he says cattywampus which cracks me up though.

There is a range of software called "nativly". I applied to get into America, and they supplied me ( at a charge ) with CD-Roms from a nativly range.\n\nThis range is your accent is challenged, you can talk int oa mic and compare it to a recording from the ROM.\n\nYou get tested and if you do like me ( I learn 5 words a day ) you'll get there.\n\nI got the German, Italian, and Spanish, but there are other titles.

I would like to be a singer. I think the recording studio is fun but, I'm not good at it. I feel like I wouldn't be a completely hopeless case if I had the right training and voice exercises...oh yeah...and somebody pushing me to actually do them would help too!

First of all, Boston is full of Irish and Irish-Americans, so you don't have to worry about finding acceptance there.  Second, except for Macey (don't know where the h*ll she's comin' from), I've never known anyone here in America that didn't like Irish accents.  Many, many of us have Irish ancestry and listening to someone with an Irish accent is very  enjoyable.  I'm sure you will have a great time and get lots of positive attention because of your accent.

I've never been to a Disney Audition, but I've done other movie and commercial auditions. It's scary but exiting. When they tell you did a great job you get a really good feeling inside. It's all warm and fuzzy. How did you hear about this audition?

Which kind of accent are you trying to evolve into. I believe John Travolta's accent in that movie is actually very Americanized so you've actually to decide first whether u really want that kind of accent or something more British, or Irish, or Aussie, or Mexicano....."Be specific, Bob!"\n\nLastly I would love to break your spirits and say you cant really get the accent unless you go to the place itself and in Phenomenon I think its...um...Texas (?) or some country, and stay there for some time long enough to blend with the local people and live like how they live and talk like how they talk. Otherwise, you can still choose to become a media journalist and work for CNN. They're the multinational guys out there who, no matter what their face or color look like, they seem to have come from the same country I dont know which.

I haven't seen a trailor yet. But, my idea for a Thundercats live action movie would probably be better. Unfortuneately, Warner Brothers told me they won't accept any unsolicited offers or ideas. That sucks, how can anyone present new ideas with a door slammed in your face before you can say anything.

Many moons ago....before we had such toys as computers I was heavy into audio experimentation. This was before anyone had even heard of EVP. I fiddled in my little shop with all sorts of home brew audio equipment. I built myself an early wireless microphone and found that by placing the mic in different places...I.E. outside, in the basement, in different rooms, etc. and feeding the signal to my audio amp with the volume way up I got some very unusual and frightening sounds. Sometimes I swore I heard voices. Got the crap scared outta me a few times! I had an old reel to reel recorder and recorded some of the sounds...I also remember my first portable recorder.....wish I still had some of those sounds. Get yourself a cheap hand held cassette recorder and set it up in different places and just record sounds. Try putting it in places that seem quiet to you. Put the cassette in your audio system and crank up the volume.you will be surprised!

You should contact your local or regional film board, and they'll be able to tell you when and where there are productions scheduled near you. When films come to your area they'll contract with local agencies to provide background talent. The film board should be able to tell you who those agencies are, and they'll announce mass auditions/registrations ("cattle calls") where your daughter can submit a headshot and information. If she's as talented as she sounds, you should also consider trying to find an agent to represent her.\n\n(disclaimer - I'm in the US, but the procedure should be the same in OZ)
