Every city is a little different. I placed an ad for voice actors, here in San Diego. I made it clear that this was for a movie with no budget. I had 54 responses within 7 days. I had two audition readings outside at Starbucks and settled on 11 actors for my upcoming film. Everyone arrived for the recordings on time and each was completely professional. I have never had that kind of dedication and positive attitude from musicians (of which I count myself).

Now, maybe because we are only 2 hours from Hollywood we have a better allotment of actors than other cities, but it may be worth trying in any city. I placed the ad on Craigslist. I see that San Antonio also has a Craigstlist site (http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/). I placed my ad under the category of Talent.

I did treat my actors very respectfully and emailed them a complete copy of the script and tried to be accommodating of their schedules for the recordings. It was really fun and I feel I can call upon them again in the future. We are scheduling a screening party for next month.

I do feel going with actors may be more rewarding than using subtitles, but you get to make the decision on that one. It is your vision.

Good luck.
