In Depth Checking

Look for those advertising agencies which have clients shooting on-camera ads as well as print ads that are commercial. Check if your area has offices of Equity, AFTRA or SAG and discover if they have all the highly regarded talent agents within the locality. Through the local office of cultural affairs or courthouse, you can also check the theatre directory in your region.

Get All the Needed Contacts

See to it that you will also check the section on culture and arts of the newspaper in your locality for the place’s shows, plays, events and theaters. Note all the venues and where these will be taking place and call them for the needed information. You can also contact the photographers in your locality to check if they also have some contacts with actors, casting directors as well as ad agencies. Casting and agencies directors usually refer the actors to some headshot photographers.

Look for What You Need to Look For

If you are really determined to enter the scene of acting business, there is a need for you to be property educated and this will be best achieved for looking for acting teachers, acting coaches and acting schools in your place. You can also look for casting offices which cast extras and even if they might be in big cities like Los Angeles and New York, try to sign up with these offices. See to it that you give them your best headshot, cover letter and resume. But make sure that you will let them know where you are residing. In case that you are not residing in these big cities where numerous movies and extra works are being offered, you can always ask them to give you a ring, especially if they will shoot some work in your locality. See to it that your resume is something that will attract the attention of casting directors for you to be sure that you have an acting career to look forward to.
