What kind of tech and software/webs do I need to prepare for voice acting practice and future auditions? I saw some suggestions about special mics, but I don't know what they are or how they work. Like a "condenser mic" or "pop filter". Which ones are the best for price and quality? The prices...

It's hard for me to come up with animation poses and finding the right photos for reference take a while. Does using Rotoscoping techniques count as cheating? Also, what if the build of the character I want to animate isn't like my build, how can I reference with different bodies? It would seem...

I've known a few games with voice acted characters, and I wonder: How do they find them? Is there a special website for hiring VA for games/small shows? Do I contact them personally to audition? How can I if they don't use a website for "open auditions" or if they are too small to have a...

Sometimes in English class, I have to do a prompt with specific needs (vocabulary, setting, etc.). I like to use my characters to act out the scene, but I've noticed recently the characters personalities are not acting how they were supposed to be. I know they say to let your characters take...

I had asked in another post how can I find relatable reference for character interaction and personalities, and someone suggested Reddit. The problem is, I'm just 14 and I don't think my parents would let me. I can't really go on social media (insta, Facebook, twitter, etc.), are there any...

Hi. So I want to make a story, and I want the characters to have diversity in many ways (disabilities, race, personality, ideals, etc.) but I don't know how to make a character through their eyes. How can I express them in a way where it's not assuming and more how they actually interact in the...

I live in Hawaii. Anyone who has ever watched "The Sound of Freedom" knows that looking for a teaching place or even a website to learn or do something can be shady or scary to find/be in. Any tips on how to find the right one? I want to look for places or teaching websites that can teach me...

I'm an aspiring artist, and I want to learn animation and art in general. I want to make my own series when I get older, and I don't know what webs/places to learn from. (I take art class by the way). What are some tips to improve?

I met an awesome Voice actor, Lizzie freeman (TADC, jojo's bizzare adventure, etc...), and she inspired me to be a voice actor. I'm planning to take chorus to help my voice, but she recommends having a bigger 'job palette' by being an actor. What should I do?
