It can be daunting when you are starting out as an actor to find that there are so many other actors competing with you for the same roles. There are also many production companies not only competing with each other for talent, but also for limited funding resources. You should not be put off by the vast range of projects: in live theatre, tours throughout the UK are usually managed by a small number of production companies, and theatre companies tend to network with each other over actors, as well as over repertoire.
It is worth your while to keep a detailed record of the different acting auditions and casting calls you attend. Over time, this will build up into a useful handbook of the most important producers, directors and casting directors working in Britain today: you will also have a record of what you have performed and to whom. This means you will be prepared for those times when you have auditions before the same people. Observing how these decision-makers choose their talent will make it easier for you to tailor your audition pieces to their needs and interests.
Keeping a record of this information is one good reason for attending as many casting calls and acting auditions as you can.
At Audition Now, we pride ourselves on our extensive experience of British theatre: the networks we have built up over the years help us to keep you informed of all the latest film and theatre casting opportunities.
