How do I find out about Auditions?

Hi Angela,

How do you find out about upcoming auditions? I don't have an agent yet and am basically sending out my own headshots to try to find work.



To answer your question about how do I find out about jobs – it’s all about networking. Get on mailing lists of other actors, casting directors, agents, Producers, acting teachers, read MySpace blogs etc.
It’s treating acting like a business, not a hobby.
It’s subscribing to websites like http://www.actorsaccess.com/ and http://www.backstage.com/ and http://www.exploretalent.com/ and http://www.instantcast.com/
They are all websites that allow you to post your headshot, resume and demo reels and submit yourself for jobs electronically.


By subscribing to sites like these, you'll get a good feel for breakdowns, what types of roles are available and until you get an agent who has the inside scoop and can submit you for roles they feel you could champion, you'll get your foot in the door and soon be on your way to making important industry contacts.


There are really only a few things one needs to know about acting, and if done consistently, bring consistent results.
