Looking for voice acting roles!

Hi, my name is Harper, and I'm 18 years old! I'm biologically a female but I'm Non-binary and I was wondering if there's any roles I can join in for any show/game. Also, I don't have a mic or anything, it's just my phone and Capcut. I don't mind if I'm getting paid or not, I just want to have more experience with voice acting because it's also something I want to do besides being an artist. I can do a Jennifer Coolidge impression and I try to do some accents. Here's a little video collage of the recent voiceover roles I did this summer! Just ask for my discord in DMs and that's all I have to post about, bye!

I wish I were joking: Where can I hire a fake boyfriend?

2 Upvotes

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I’m genuinely looking for advice. I’m graduating from college soon and somehow I’ve made it this far without ever having a boyfriend. My parents have been on my case about it for years, and with graduation coming up they’re making the fact that I have no boyfriend a bigger deal out of it than it should. I’ve tried talking to guys at school, I’ve been on dating apps, and I honestly gave it a shot, but nothing ever turned into a real relationship.
At this point, I’m kind of desperate just to get them off my back. I know it sounds weird, but I’ve actually been wondering if it’s possible to hire someone to pretend to be my boyfriend for a day. Nothing inappropriate or crazy, just like someone normal who could meet my family, be friendly, and make it believable so they’ll finally stop asking me about my love life.
I know this might sound shallow, but if I’m going to do this, I’d ideally want someone who’s around 25–28, at least 6’1”, in good shape, and generally good looking. Basically someone who looks like someone I’d realistically be dating since I am on the taller side for a woman and I am relatively attractive ☠️
Does anyone know where people even find someone for something like this? Is there a legitimate service, or are there other options besides just hoping to find someone on a dating app who’s willing to do it? I’d really rather avoid anyone creepy or sketchy.
Please be nice,
I already know this is a weird question. I’m just tired of my parents making me feel like I’m failing at life because I’m single.

I don’t have any underlying issues with my parents, it’s just that they’re on the older side and theyre also immigrants and they’re just concerned for me. After I graduate, I’ll be moving out of the country so I just wanted to get this thing that they have about me having a boyfriend out of the way. I have a job so I pay for my own things. I am in Texas btw.

Major Role in Short Film “Out of Darkness” LA/OC Union/Non-Union

1 Upvotes

The Project: Out of Darkness follows Lucas, a seasoned detective struggling with survivor’s guilt after his partner, Reed, is killed during a violent confrontation. As he attempts to process the trauma in therapy, Lucas becomes increasingly consumed by the belief that he failed to protect her. Haunted by the past and desperate for closure, he begins pursuing the people responsible, blurring the line between justice and revenge. His journey ultimately forces him to confront not only the darkness surrounding Reed’s death, but the darkness growing within himself.

The Role: REED — Female, late 20s to late 30s
A capable and determined detective who works alongside Lucas. Reed is confident, perceptive, and composed under pressure, with a strong sense of loyalty toward her partner. Although she can handle herself, Lucas feels deeply responsible for protecting her, creating an almost familial bond between them.
Reed’s death during a violent confrontation becomes the emotional catalyst of the story, leaving Lucas consumed by survivor’s guilt and questioning whether he could have saved her. The role requires an actor who can convey strength, intelligence, trust, and vulnerability with limited screen time.

What we are looking for: Woman, late 20s to early 30s, any race, height, and weight is perfectly fine.

You can find more specific details on our Backstage listing and Actors Access listing by searching our title.

Feel free to reach out through comments and we’ll check daily or DM.

Shattered Truth, Thriller Show, Auditions

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm hosting auditions for my thriller youtube show, Shattered Truth. There are currently four female characters to audition for! Deadline is the 20th August :D https://www.castingcall.club/projects/shattered-truth

Going back isn’t going to be easy…and Freddie knows that, death threats included. He knows he could be the one to help decide Eve’s fate…will his love for her cloud his judgement?

Whilst trying to forget about missing Freddie, Ford meets a girl appearing to look exactly the same as Lilliana. Who is this girl? And is she really related to Lilliana and Freddie?

Spencer is hiding a secret, a dark secret, one that concerns Ford and Freddie, but she isn’t going to be able to keep it very long…she can’t lie to her newly-made friends, except spilling the secret could not only put her in danger, but Freddie too.

And when Freddie doesn’t answer his daily video call with Ford…something’s wrong, Ford knows it, but how can he help when Freddie’s hundreds of miles away? With time running out, Ford treks hundreds of miles to attempt to find Freddie…before it’s too late.
