Scrub Up for Soap Casting Calls

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Since you were a child you might have been gripped by the various soap operas and dramas you saw on television. Such viewing experiences have a broad appeal and are highly popular in the UK and many other countries.

If, as you grew up, you discovered you had a passion for acting and liked to be the centre of attention, you may have decided that you wanted to follow your acting heroes and be on TV.

In order to make your break, it is important that you impress those in the industry when you attend casting calls. After all, there is plenty of competition out there and if you do not perform well during acting auditions, you will find it very hard to realise your dream.

This is why, before you head to casting sessions, it pays off to do plenty of preparation. It is helpful to know what to expect and what casting directors are looking for at such events. This is where we come in handy. Here at Audition Now, we provide seminars and courses to help you form a better understanding of such matters.

Meanwhile, it may also be beneficial before you attend soap casting calls to work on your image. After all, appearing in front of the cameras is not simply about what you do but also how you look.

Once you have got yourself fully prepared, it is of course vital that you attend the casting calls. We provide a text alert service that can help in this respect. To make use of it you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.

Longing to Be On the Other Side of the Camera?

Monday, June 13th, 2011

The modern world is increasingly dominated by the media. Television channels, films, the internet, radio, magazines and many other sources are pervasive forces in Britain and a considerable number of other countries around the world.

Seeing and hearing people through such mediums may have inspired you to get on the other side of the camera yourself. Maybe, instead of simply reading and watching stories unfold, you want to be part of the action and be on TV yourself. You might desire to be one of the individuals that people stop to look at and read about.

This is completely understandable. After all, careers in the spotlight can be exciting and lucrative and, if you achieve your goal, you may get to experience many more things than you would in more typical forms of work.

There are a number of ways in which you can pursue your goal to make it into the world of the celebrity. One of the quickest may be to enter yourself for reality TV shows. The appetite for such creations among the general public seems insatiable and many of the stars of programmes like this are subsequently catapulted to fame.

If the idea of this appeals to you, you might want to sign up to our reality TV casting calls text alert service. This is a great way to ensure you do not miss out on valuable opportunities. Also, it can make your life considerably easier.

Remember, it is only by being present and performing well at casting calls that you will be able to make your big break. However, you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.

Preparation Pays Off When it Comes to Casting Calls

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

You might have plenty of raw talent when it comes to acting, dancing, singing, modelling or whatever it is you want to focus on for your career. However, unfortunately simply having the potential to succeed will not get you to the top of your field.

To achieve your goals, it is important you approach the task of getting your big break with diligence. Like many things in life, it is only by putting in time and effort that you will be able to make your dreams come true.

So, before you head off to musical casting calls and other such events, it is vital that you prepare yourself appropriately. By knowing, at least roughly, what to expect and by being ready to take on the challenge, you stand a better chance of beating your competition. On the other hand, if you arrive at the auditions without a proper idea of what it expected of you, you might well fail to make a good impression.

The good news is, here at Audition Now we can help you get ready for sessions like this. Using our various training seminars and courses, you can build up your confidence and knowledge when it comes to casting and thus maximise your chances of hitting the big time.

Also, so that you do not miss out on any of the opportunities relevant to you, we provide a text alert service that lets you know when and where soap casting sessions and other such events are taking place. By making use of both provisions, you might be able to significantly boost your chances of success.

To benefit from our alert service, you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.

Anyone Can Be An Extra

Friday, May 27th, 2011

You don’t have to aspire to a full time acting career to experience the excitement of being on telly. In fact, if you were to count the faces in the next episode of your favourite soap or crime drama, only a handful of faces would be familiar regulars. All the rest would be guests or extras, most of which only appear on a single episode.

It doesn’t take much to be an extra. The audition process won’t involve hours of singing, dancing, and declaiming long passages from Hamlet. Experienced casting staff know what they want and how to find it quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Although your part might only be a few seconds long you will probably have to be available for filming all day or at least for several hours, but being on set is all part of the fun.

Sometimes you’ll be part of a crowd or sitting behind the main characters in a cinema or cafe. Other times you might be dead in a car accident or- if you’re really lucky – get a small speaking part as a cashier or a waitress interacting with your favourite character. The role of an extra is never demanding but it’s always exciting to find out what you’ll be doing.

Casting calls for extras happen all the time. Our alert service offers up to 3 texts a week for only £1.50 each. Anyone who is over 18 and has a little ‘extra’ time on their hands can go to auditions and be on TV.

Back to Reality

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Famous artist Andy Warhol once said that everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame – and for today’s TV reality show stars, that 15 minutes can sometimes become a far longer celebrity career.

So how often have you watched a reality show and thought, “I could do that”? Of course, it will never happen if you just sit back and wait for someone to tap you on the shoulder and ask you to take part in a show. It’s a good idea to go out there and look for opportunities – and at Audition Now, we are perfectly placed to give you a helping hand.

We specialise in letting people know about casting calls and TV auditions, and that includes reality TV casting calls.

Of course, many people do not make it in reality TV, although for some it’s a great beginning to a long career. At Audition Now, we offer advice to help you succeed, although of course in this demanding career there are never any guarantees.

Another way to get a TV career going is to try to take part in extras auditions. Extras are the non-speaking people you will see in the background of many shows, and many people want to be an extra either as a first step in television or simply as a career in itself. It’s fun (although hard work), paid work and you can sometimes get to be around some real stars!

Remember, to get our audition text alerts (a maximum of three a week at £1.50 each) you must be 18 or over.

Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Talent often shows itself at an early age, and at Audition Now we know there is a huge number of people out there who have amazing abilities in acting, dancing and singing.

Bringing opportunities to those people – people like you – is the reason for our existence. We know that many people take their talent and work on it for years through drama training, dance classes and skill-honing, and then hope to take it further to create a wonderful career.

However, that can be tricky if you are just getting started in showbusiness. How are you to know where the casting calls and TV auditions are being held? How do you know where to go, or who to ask about whether you might be the perfect person for the role?

At Audition Now, we help put people in your position together with the people who make the soap operas, theatre shows, dance extravaganzas and TV programmes. Our text alert service sends you a maximum of three alerts a week (at a cost of £1.50 per alert) to let you know where the dancers’ auditions, soap casting calls and reality TV auditions are being held, as well as many more auditions that you may be interested in.

Of course, making it in showbusiness is then up to you, but at least you can rest assured that you are not missing important opportunities. Check out our texting service today – it could be the start of an absolutely amazing career in an exciting industry for you.

Reality TV is One Way to Make an Impression

Friday, May 6th, 2011

There is an argument which says that it is easier to be on TV these days than it ever has been, thanks to the huge popularity of reality programmes on our screens. If you are an aspiring actor or presenter, this is one way you can make an impact but there are still some obstacles to overcome before you get a chance to shine.

Just about every programme which features members of the public will have a screening process, so if you want to find out about reality TV auditions, how do you go about it? One way is to keep an eye on the small ads in newspapers and magazines where these casting calls are advertised, but this is time consuming, and you could miss the vital ad. Thankfully there is a much easier way to make sure you don’t miss out on tv auditions, and that is to sign up with Audition Now. The professionals behind this company all have many years experience in the business, and they will take the hard work out of finding the auditions that you want to go to.

Once you have joined and given the details of the auditions you are interested in, you will receive texts telling you when and where they are taking place. After that, it’s down to you and your talent to make a big impression on the people who will be making the decision which could see you on television.

You must be 18 or over. To stop anytime text STOP to 84025.

Maximum 3 alerts per week, costing a maximum of £4.50 per week plus network extras.

Do you Keep Missing Casting Calls?

Friday, April 29th, 2011

If you are looking to get modelling, acting, musical work or other similar roles, you will be aware of the significance of casting calls. It is only by being successful at such events that you stand a chance of getting roles and earning money.

This means it is crucial that you attend all the relevant sessions. The more you go to, the greater chance you stand in terms of securing the roles you are after.

However, it is hard to keep your ear to the ground. Despite your best efforts, you are bound to miss the odd few calls and sometimes you might find there are a number of these occasions that you fail to make the most of.

There is nothing more demoralising than realising you have missed theatre auditions or other such events. When this happens repeatedly, you can end up feeling as though your career is slipping through your fingers.

And often you might be too busy to engage in constant research concerning when the next sessions are going to occur.

This is where we come in. Here at Audition Now, we make it our business to ensure your opportunities do not go by the wayside. Our expert team keep in touch with all the industry goings on and can send text alerts to keep you in the loop.

To make the most of these helpful provisions, you must be at least 18 years old. Texts cost £1.50 each, with a maximum of 3 texts per week.

Don’t Lose Heart at Casting Calls

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Attending casting calls can be a nerve-wracking experience. While compared to other people you know, your acting, singing or modelling abilities might be superb, when you find yourself among a large number of extremely talented individuals, your confidence might take a dive.

Realising the level of competition around is never pleasant as it brings into focus exactly how difficult your task is.

However, the important thing is not to lose heart at this stage. You have worked hard to get here and you would be letting yourself down if you are intimidated and cannot perform as well as you would like.

So, you should keep your head high and give your all. Obviously, you cannot always be successful during such auditions, but as long as you put in 100 per cent effort, you stand as good a chance as anyone.

And remember, the other people around you are also experiencing nerves. Often, people develop the ability to look completely calm and in control during acting casting calls and other such events but the truth may be far from this.

You have just as much right to be in the room as anyone else and you should never feel differently.

So that you don’t miss out on opportunities like this, you might want to think about singing up to our text alert service for casting sessions here at Audition Now. But to be eligible for this, you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.
