[@Iamkelking]

I've always been a fan of your videos. I 've become an even bigger fan with your genuine effort to support the movement to stop racial inequality. Keep it up!

I love your videos and get so excited when you post one! Also, I have a question. Do you need different agents for different areas in acting, like voiceover, film acting, commercials, etc.

[@boydact]

[@noelyserrano8814]

Hey Will, I'm a teen and I want to pursue a career in acting but Florida doesn't have that many talent agencies was wondering if I can apply out of the state(Cali?)

[@boydact]

Honestly would love to work with you!!

[@notmybrault]

Hi, Will! Love your videos. What did you use for soundproofing? Can you maybe do a video on your voice studio set-up? Thanks!

[@WillyDubz]

Definitely will do. In the meantime I just found some foam panels for sound on amazon.

[@noahjay8370]

Hey will so rn I’m currently a child aspiring actor and I’m trying to do sting full time so I have one question I have to take headshots from home do you have any tips?

[@WillyDubz]

Noah Jay get comfortable being vulnerable on camera when shooting headshots. Do your best with what you got and improve over time. Check out my LA video for a bit more about headshots.

[@noahjay8370]

Will Westwater thank you

[@ektoraschatzopoulos6718]

This doesn’t have to do with acting but on ur story I saw you playing the new last of us and I was wondering on ur though s that they make you play with a character you don’t like?

[@WillyDubz]

Well I’m loving every moment of it so far!

[@hiddenchannel4097]

Some day I want to be an actor and 1 thing I just really want to know is, is making profiles hard and if agents (good agents) are hard to find?

[@mariamtoloraia6300]

your dogs are so cute 🥰

[@rickychavez3155]

A fellow friend of the pod!

[@WillyDubz]

You KNOW it.

[@KreativeHogwartsLegacyGUIDES]

what if you quarantine for a movie called quarantine. also, if you record voice overs from home, what site do you use to get contract work?

[@WillyDubz]

I have a voiceover agent that gives me projects to record auditions for. I do about 2-4 VO auditions a week.

[@MrRorosuri]

💕💕👊

[@jamoradkeith7253]

What software do you use to record your audio?

[@WillyDubz]

Right now just premiere. It’s not audio specific like some other applications, but I’m familiar with it.

[@imillusion2061]
