•    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.

You can mask your nervous reactions if you identify them in advance. If you find that you clench your jaw then breathe out deeply and smile. If you’re a ‘flapper’, using lots of big gestures, then holding the script can help.

Feel free to ask the director a question before you begin. For instance, you could ask what happened to your character immediately prior to the scene.

Take a quick look at the lines before you start. Are they long or short? If the text has lots of short lines then the director is probably looking for you to keep them snappy. If the lines are longer then you need to pace your breathing as you read. Try to take breaths after punctuation or before connecting words such as “and” or “but”.

If you do misread a word or a phrase, make sure to stay in character. If you lose your place then take a breath to give you time to find it and then restart. In life, people stammer over their words or lose their train of thought. When you’re not at TV auditions watch to see how people naturally recover from this. With practice, you can use your research to mask any mistakes and to make your recovery realistic.

Quite possibly, some of the greatest acting, dancing and singing talents and most stunning models around never made it big simply because they remained undiscovered.

So, if you want to achieve your goals and be on TV, appear on stage or feature in magazines and so on, it is important you ensure you make it to all the relevant casting sessions. It is only be exhibiting your talents to those with the power to further your career that you stand a chance of rising to the top.

Of course, trying to do this all alone can be tough and it is easy to miss out on great opportunities, whether they are TV auditions or anything else. Also, if you spend too long trying to follow such developments in your area of work, you will miss out on valuable time that could have been spent honing your act.

This is where we come in. Here at Audition Now, we operate a text alert service that makes you aware of relevant casting sessions, thus removing the hassle for you.

By signing up to such provisions, you might be able to boost your chances of career success while also benefiting from greater peace of mind. However, to make use of our alerts, you must be 18 or over. £1.50 per text, with a max of 3 texts per week.

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.

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.

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?

And as you will know, much of your time will be spent chasing TV auditions, model casting sessions and other such events. Indeed, you may have to use much of your working day chasing up possible leads. After all, it is vital you keep your ear to the ground so you do not miss out of any opportunities. There is nothing worse than realising an audition has taken place that you might have been successful in, if only you’d actually been there!

But the problem is that all this looking and researching can be too time consuming. Not only is it hard work, but it eats into the hours you could spend perfecting your look or performance.

Well, the great news is, you don’t have to continue on this endless treadmill of lead chasing. By using us here at Audition Now, you can leave all this hard work to someone else. Our expert team are out there as we speak keeping tabs on the opportunities in your local area.

You may be eager to ride this cultural wave and inject some spice into your life by taking part in such programmes yourself. As well as benefiting from the experience itself, you might get the chance to capitalise on the endeavour in the aftermath too.

Of course, what happens after the show has finished depends entirely on the nature of the programme and how successful you were in it. Many reality TV stars have launched music or acting careers on the back of their appearances on screen. And even those who do not have such talents often gain from interviews and subsequent appearances on TV afterwards.

However, it is not easy to reap these benefits because in order to be on TV in this capacity, you must first be successful at the auditions stage. Even finding out about reality TV auditions, reality TV casting calls and other such events can be tricky, and you no doubt have other things to concentrate on as well as hunting for these chances.

That’s where Audition Now can help. For £1.50 for a text, with a maximum of 3 texts per week, hopefuls over the age of 18 can have access to all the latest auditions information.

To be on TV, regardless of what kind of show you want to be on or what kind of part you hope to get, you will need to attend auditions and try out for various parts. But how do you find those? Well, here are a few places to try.

Try contacting local TV stations or writing to producers of your favourite shows to find out if they have any TV auditions planned. Sometimes going straight to the main source is the best place to start.

You can also look for advertisements for auditions online, in newspapers, magazines, at your library, local theatres, etc. Get involves in an acting group or join a class and ask for tips from others interested in TV acting.

Why not try a company like Audition Now? You can get information about upcoming auditions via text to your mobile phone. Information is well researched and you can choose to receive only what’s relevant to you. Get up to three texts a week at £1.50 a text, for those 18 years old and older.

If you don’t feel ready for auditions yet, definitely start with some acting lessons, or try joining a community theatre to get some practice. The more you do, the more confident you will be, and the more prepared to take a TV role in the future.

First, make sure that you have a good acting resume and portfolio put together. Even if you’ve never been on TV before, you can find related experiences to include. Have you ever been in a play? Have you organized a show for a community theatre , or even done a puppet show? Anything related to acting or speaking can be included. Include a couple of good, professional photos of yourself.

Next, start finding those auditions and casting calls. Where do you look? Try online first. Why not check out Audition Now and get up to three texts per week that will give you specific, up to date audition information that you can use now? You must be 18 years old, and texts cost £1.50 each, but you will get highly sought after information on TV casting calls that you probably won’t find anywhere else.

You can also look online for various TV shows that are looking for extras, contact your local TV station to ask if they need any help, or get involved in some local theatre just to get your foot in the door of the acting world.
