Finding Good TV Auditions

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Whether you are a seasoned actor or you are new to the profession, whether you’ve had years of training or none at all, if you’re looking for good TV auditions, sometimes the search can be very frustrating. So, here are some tips and suggestions to help you find those highly sought after auditions that you need.

First, think small. Look for things locally. Try your local newspaper, and any other local periodicals for anything from advertisements for acting schools to notices for TV castings. Contact the people involved and ask fro more information about acting auditions.

Now, think big. Be willing to visit some other towns and cities. Try joining a travelling acting troupe if you want some more experience to add to your CV or to get your name out there.

Take some acting classes. Even if you’ve already taken lessons or classes, you can always learn from a new teacher, and you will also be able to network this way with others interested in your field. Other actors will always know things you don’t, and you can share ideas and information. It’s also a great encouragement.

If you still need ideas, why not try a company like Audition Now? Audition Now offers information about great acting opportunities via text message to those 18 years old and older. For just £1.50 per text, you can receive up to three text messages a week with information about opportunities just right for you.

Always keeps your eyes open for opportunities to act and gain experience. More importantly, never give up.

Many dream about breaking into the world of showbiz, but with competition for acting and theatre roles never more fierce, it can be difficult – if not  impossible. That is, of course, unless you have all the bases covered and are prepared to go that extra mile to realize your dream.

How to Find Acting Auditions

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

If you don’t have any experience in the field of acting, it may be hard for you to know where to start, or even how to find an audition so that you can try out. Here are some tips for finding acting auditions.

Try contacting local theatres directly. If you’re interested in being plays, this may well afford you opportunities to perform in small and large rolls—in both plays and musicals. Some local theatres produce multiple productions each season.

If you would rather be a TV actor, you may need to apply to an agency. Put together a good portfolio including a CV with any relevant information and education, as well as some good recent photos of you. Contact the agency and submit your portfolio for review. If you get called in for an interview you may well be on your way to some great auditions.

Don’t discount the chance to be an extra. Extras in movies often move on to much greater things. Sometimes when films are done locally, the producers will advertise for extras to show up for crowd scenes, street scenes, etc. Try your local newspaper and the Internet to find such opportunities.

Another way to find opportunities is to subscribe to an information service such as Audition Now. This company provides only the best audition information via text message (to those at least 18 years old, for £1.50 per text.) You can text them up to three times a week for opportunities in stage acting, TV acting, and modelling.

How to Be An Extra in A Soap Opera

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Many people begin their acting careers by appearing in TV shows as extras. If you want to make a break but don’t have the background or education, or you don’t have an agency, you may want to start really small. Here are some tips on how to be an extra in a soap opera.

Soap auditions may be harder to find because they generally have a smaller budget that more widely broadcast television shows, and certainly less than a Hollywood or even a BBC movie. This means that the producers work with a small pool of actors and that’s why you often see the same faces more than once – even if they are walk-ons.

To find opportunities to be in soap operas, it may seem like you have to know someone who knows someone. But if you know where to look, you will soon find that soap castings are available to people out of the loop as well.

Audition Now is a company that provides inside information about auditions that are tailor made to your interests. You can choose from theatre acting auditions, TV acting, or modelling, and receive up-to-date, relevant casting information directly to your mobile phone for just £1.50 per text. (You must be at least 18 years of age.)

If you use a company like this you are receiving information from people who are educated in the industry and they only pass on the best information to you. You won’t waste time auditioning for things you aren’t interested in.

Good luck!

Show business fields are aggressively competitive, but they are also made up of ever-changing casts. New faces are constantly needed on stages, on TV, on catwalks and in magazines, meaning that newcomers have every chance of success, given the right information. By their very natures, professions like being a model, onstage or in TV require the individual to be pro-active and search for opportunities.

Some aspiring actors and models can spend hours trawling the internet and newspapers in search of auditions and jobs, using time which could be better spent honing skills and sharpening talent.

Being In Charge at Acting Auditions

Friday, July 9th, 2010

It is easy to feel dispirited if TV or theatre auditions don’t go as well as you had hoped. You should not be put off, however, but instead try to think of ways to ‘raise your game.’ Remember, the aim of the casting director is to find the best person for the role. Just because you were not that person, does not mean that you won’t be the best person for the next role you audition for.

An important tip for the audition process is to put yourself in the driving seat. There is the famous story of Barbra Streisand who, at one of her early acting auditions, stopped her song to take the chewing gum out of her mouth, and stick it under a stool seat. At the end of the day, someone checked the underside of the stool, and found there was nothing there. The girl who had been chewing gum had actually been faking it. The effect was undeniable. She had stuck herself in the minds of the audition panel by taking charge of her own audition. As it turned out, she had also proved what a skilled performer she was.

You don’t need to use chewing gum to take charge of your casting calls and auditions, but the more in control you are, the less gruelling your auditions will feel to you.

At Audition Now, we offer a texting service to your mobile phone. We help you plan your career by keeping you up-to-date with all the latest acting auditions.
