See Your Name in Lights

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

There’s nothing better than knowing you’ve made it. People will recognise you in the street and you’ll see your name in lights at all the best events, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get there. It’s important you’re fully prepared for the journey to come, and being ready for those all-important auditions should be at the top of the list.

Of course, how you prepare depends on the type of career you’re looking for. If you want to make your mark in the West End then you’ll need to make sure your acting and singing skills are all up to scratch, or if you want to be a model then you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a flawless portfolio. Actors will need to prepare a reading and will always need to practice beforehand whilst those heading to dance auditions will need to prepare accordingly – whatever type of career you’re aiming for, it’s essential to be the best you can be to really excel and make that right impression.

Then, of course, it’s time to start working your way up the ladder. Some people get their big break straight away but for others the course doesn’t always run as smoothly, and it’s often the case of starting out in a TV extras capacity or perhaps simply getting small parts. If you’ve got the talent and a bit of luck on your side then you’ll be spotted, and if you want to stand the best possible chance then sign up for our text alert service (£1.50 per text, max 3 texts per week, over 18s only) for access to the best casting calls out there and you could soon see your name in lights.

Show You Mean Business with a Modelling Portfolio

Monday, November 7th, 2011

If you dream of becoming a model then there’s one thing you always need to pay attention to – your portfolio. A modelling portfolio showcases your work and lets potential agents and employers know what they can expect from you, being the primary weapon in your modelling arsenal that can transform your chance of getting those lucrative contracts. The importance of your portfolio means you need to spend time on it to make it the best it can be, really showing you mean business and impressing those soon-to-be agents.

This means you should always book a professional photography session if you’re new to the business and have yet to book any jobs. Cheap holiday snaps will never be good enough – you need the right lighting and the right setting to let your potential shine through, and always tailor your portfolio to the type of jobs you want to do. Make sure to have a great range of shots to show your versatility as a model, and once you’ve got a flawless set of photographs you stand a much better chance of securing that job.

Then all you need to do is find out when these modelling auditions are taking place, which is why you need to come to us. We can help you make good use of your portfolio by sending text alerts (up to three texts per week, £1.50 per text, over 18s only) to keep you abreast of all the latest model casting calls, ensuring you never miss out on that all-important audition.

Have a Successful Modelling Career

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Modelling is an extremely exciting and rewarding career with many perks. A successful model can find themselves in a different exotic country every week, meeting a huge number of interesting, creative people. If you are interested in having a career as a model, there are various things you can do to maximise your chances.

Before you attend model casting calls or approaching a model agency, you should have a portfolio of photographs prepared. Although these photographs don’t have to be taken by a professional, they should show you in clear, natural light, not wearing too much make up and on a plain, non-distracting background. This will help agencies to see your potential.

If it’s your dream to become a model, you should attend as many casting calls as you can. Open castings are a way for model agencies to see some undiscovered new talent. When you’re attending a casting, you should dress simply, look natural and be prepared to answer any questions the agencies have about you. Don’t be disheartened if you are turned down. Rejection is a major aspect of a model’s job. Perseverance will eventually pay off.

If you are serious about becoming a model, then you should attend as many model casting calls as you can. Audition now can notify you by text of the latest castings in your area, costing £1.50 per text with a max of 3 texts per week. This service can be used by people aged 18 years and over only.

Getting Noticed at a Reality TV Casting

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Reality TV shows are some of the most popular and successful programmes on television today. These hugely entertaining shows are a great way for ‘ordinary’ people to break into show business. However, thousands (and sometimes tens of thousands) of people turn up to every reality TV casting, meaning that you have to go a long way to get yourself noticed. Preparing yourself and knowing what the casting director is looking for can go a long way towards success at reality TV auditions.

The most important thing at a reality casting call is to be yourself. Casting directors are impressed by a sincerity and passion for the field you are auditioning for. Many people attending reality auditions can be tempted to act outrageously or obnoxiously in order to get themselves noticed. While this may work in the short term, it’s unlikely that these people will have success in the entertainment industry in the long term. The most important thing at casting calls is to be true to yourself. Talk to the casting director with the same enthusiasm that you would show a friend or family member. Even if you are nervous, this enthusiasm will shine through.

If it’s your dream to make it in reality TV, Audition Now can text you notifications of the latest reality TV auditions in your area (£1.50 per text with max of 3 texts per week. 18 years and over only).

Types of Acting Auditions

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

As an aspiring actor, it’s likely that you will attend hundreds of auditions. The purpose of the audition process is to identify new talent and assess their suitability for certain roles. Although their purposes are similar, there are a variety of different types of acting auditions. Familiarising yourself with them can make you feel more comfortable once you start attending casting calls.

•    Open Auditions
At an open audition, anyone can try out for the role on offer, regardless of their experience or whether they have representation. This can often lead to people queuing overnight for a chance to get the role of a lifetime. Open acting auditions are often extremely crowded, and the casting agents may not have time to see everyone. Get there as early as you can to increase your chances.

•    Screen Tests
Most commonly done in TV auditions, during a screen test, auditioners are filmed on video while they are performing. This enables casting agents to see how they look on screen and allows them to assess the compatibility of two performers together. Even if you are unsuccessful at a screen test, companies often keep the videos to refer to at a later date. So, they may find a role more suitable for you in the future.

When you feel you’re ready to start auditioning for roles, Audition Now can help. We can send you text alerts informing you of the latest auditions in your area (£1.50 per text with max 3 texts a week). This service is for people of 18 years and over only.
