And if you are going to succeed in business you need to not limit your exposure. A lot of advice is spread around - all great -nothing wrong with different advice but one thing I do know to be very true in the acting field and that is - Acting is a business. My advice, would be to not limit yourself.
Only submit color headshots that are 90% your face - otherwise your face won't be seen on the application in table view.Īlessandro, I see you have got lots of advice here. Also have different headshots and submit that particular one for the type of role - the more it stands out the better. When I was casting, these were the first impressions I got and I would keep seeing them every time I logged in. So try to be in the first page of headshots that the casting director sees - I believe that's the first 60 or so. within the first hour it's posted! - because otherwise you'll get passed over because they'll have 1,000 submissions for that role already. The thing about actors access is that you have to respond right away to any new ads - i.e. I would spend money putting video on Actors Access before I would pay for IMDBPro or putting anything on Backstage or anywhere else. The agents-only section of Actors Access is actually the breakdowns which is where everything is cast. Actors Access by a mile is where you want to focus. Best of luck, and enjoy New York!Īlessandro, I'm a (sometimes!) working actor in NYC with an agent. Everything goes there immediately, and you'll know exactly what they're looking for - there is no reason not to be on Actors Access and you're hurting your chances for work if you're not. Actors Access is absolutely essential for discovering work in your area.
Backstage is legendary for a reason: it is a fully developed trade magazine, so you will not only have casting information but a wealth of insider knowledge and articles available to you for personal research on acting classes, schools, wardrobe advice, or anything else under the sun. IMDB is perhaps the weakest of the three for casting purposes, but is also going to be one of the first things a casting director will google your name for, so it's still important to keep it up to date. If you're invested in those three sites you've got a much wider net of information to work with regarding what projects are shooting, who is casting them, what the character breakdown looks like etc.
