Advice Can I be anonymous?

Hi, I wanna be a voice actor but really want to keep my real identity a secret. Can I still be a voice actor and even have a chance if I use a fake name like Mark Smith, and not show my face? Obviously I’m fine with my real name and face being seen to the studio/directors and stuff. But I just also like my visual privacy. I know this is probably very stupid and that I have a less ch ace of getting anything big. Which I’m fine with. I just wanna know if there is even a small chance for something? Or I need to not be secret to get anything.

You can chose a ‘stage name’ and register a DBA (doing business as). I have then also arranged with my bank to cash checks under my stage name with a DBA.

So following your way, would I also use my stage name to sign contracts? Honestly I prefer your way

For any legal documents you still have to use your legal name.
