Do go through those. Some of those updates are very enlightening. Those connections can be valuable, but make sure not to become that annoying person who regularly hits up people to talk about themselves.
We all know them. Make it a habit to track film productions and castings in Los Angeles. If nothing else, this can create an interesting conversation with fellow performers. Yes and no. Union status has very little to do with this; it just makes sense that represented actors whose agents have access to Breakdown Services are in the Union, thus the connection.
If you decide to start doing some background work or even become an extra regular, then Central Casting in LA should be your first stop. This will immediately label you as an amateur. Being an extra is the easiest and quickest way. Doing background work will not build your resume or secure you any bigger roles. What it will do is earn you a little cash, get you to meet some like-minded people, and allow to observe how professional film sets function. With that being said, I think all actors should do some background work for fun and experience.
You can actually use so many free casting call websites that provides online portfolio with great presentation like modelmayhem. Thanks a lot for all the info! I am thinking about trying for acting jobs and your article came in handy. I love your site. Great info and really helpful. Read one article too late— the one that said PLAN first haha. It was a major disruption at the time and may presage further disruption still.
The new kid on the block clearly has the eye of some big players in the Hollywood ecosystem, and that alone is reason enough for a working actor to take interest. If you have an agent, setting up an account on Casting Networks is totally free, which makes it a no-brainer. If you have the budget, Casting Networks is worth a try. Playbill is easily the most widely recognizable company to appear on this list of casting sites. But Playbill is so much more than a little book. Playbill updates their jobs board daily, making it one of the most up-to-date audition websites available to actors.
Playbill also touts the major advantage of being entirely free to use. You can browse at your leisure for absolutely no cost. Like Casting Networks, Casting Frontier is a younger company that got its start by offering industry professionals a streamlined approach to the casting process.
Unlike Casting Networks, Casting Frontier offers actors some access to their submission process for free under their basic plan. The perks offered by the plans allow you to upload additional headshots, voice reels, and other multimedia files with the one major perk of unlocking unlimited direct submissions to projects.
Exploring Casting Frontier with a free account should be considered by any currently unrepresented actor. If you find it a good fit to your particular needs, making the upgrade to one of the premium plans might be the way to go.
While not as well-known as some of the other best casting websites on this list, Now Casting is another place to turn to find reputable job listings for actors. Registration for the site is free, and if you are based in or can easily travel to NYC you should absolutely pay attention to their casting board.
While NYCastings does feature casting notices from cities all across the United States, the monthly, quarterly, or annual fee may be a hard sell for the Angelenos among us. It may seem strange to list IMDbPro alongside the best casting websites in the business, but, in a way, its atypicality is exactly what makes it appealing.
This allows for a level of interactivity that you rarely see with the standard resumes and headshots on other casting websites.

The Stage is a really helpful source of information for an actor. It offers the latest industry news, reviews, articles, castings and also a section with advice for actors. Every day there are new articles addressing questions that most actors have.
They are really interesting to read and can also be practical in helping you with next steps. I will mention casting websites below, but before I do it's worth considering how social media can help find acting opportunities. I often look at groups on e. Facebook about castings or people looking for collaborators on film and theatre projects. A bit of a mouth full, but they really do have useful posts and you don't always need to have extensive acting work to apply for roles that are posted.
