Pilot season is considered to be the period between January and April, which is the typical time for demo TV episodes, casting calls, and networks cast.
If you are thinking of heading for Hollywood for casting calls and acting auditions, you need to be aware that Los Angeles at this time of year is packed with actors all hoping to launch their acting careers by landing a key role in a TV pilot series.
Heading for Hollywood during pilot season is going to be one of the hardest and most competitive environments you can put yourself in as an actor.
Casting directors are insanely busy and don’t always get the time to screen for new talent. So, even if you meet your interviewees for casting calls during a sponsored event, they are likely not to have time to really get to know your acting work to feel confident enough to offer you acting auditions.
When is the best time to head for LA for acting auditions and casting calls?
Even though pilot season is over in May it is always a good time to go for acting auditions during this time because most agents, having already secured jobs for some of their clients during the casting calls for the previous month’s TV pilots, still need to fill rosters again with new talent.
August is the beginning of another important period and hundreds of smaller TV roles come available through acting auditions.
