It's like looking for a job, almost. Ever do that? Then you have nailed down the basic essential tools for locating an acting gig. You'll need to put together a resume'. What can you do? What have you done? Any interesting skills that someone might use? Can you sing? Backflip? Breakdance? Have you done any other related work that might impress someone looking for you? It all counts. Get a headshot and choose your best side. You don't have to mortgage the farm to get your mug on Kodak, but a black and white 8"x10" glossy with a professional background will be needed. If you require an example of what your should look like, get online (hey, you already are!) and google it. Basically, you'll need something with your resume so the casting director or producer can look at. You can start with a paying gig by looking to become an extra. Depending on the production and the criteria, you can earn yourself a check. You'll be herded around like cattle and may not stand out, but it’s for the greater good. It will give you the invaluable experience of being on a set and the ability to say, "Yeah, I was in that piece of crap." There are a number of sites that cater to searching for talent. Some are free, some are premium, member sites. Just do a search, kid. Good luck and godspeed. Acting Resources |
