| Question: How can I audition for tv show? Posted: 27 Oct 2015 07:12 PM PDT SHORT ANSWER: By being invited to audition through a talent agent. It's not like school. They don't hold open auditions for TV shows that anyone can go to. Production companies invest a lot of money in their productions. They trust that investment to trained and experienced professionals. They're not interested in pulling people off the street and making them into stars. (Sorry) LONG ANSWER: Here's how casting works. First, most TV shows are union productions - which means they have agreements with the SAG-AFTRA (the union for screen actors). So preference is given to union actors. And you can't just join the union you have a specific type of experience to be eligible to join. It is rare that a non-union actor would be invited to audition for a main role in a TV show. What happens is the production company hires a casting director (CD) to find qualified actors to audition. If the CD knows someone who would be good for a role (either someone well-known or just an"regular" actor the CD knows personally) then they invite an actor to audition. A CD usually writes a "breakdown" which is a description of the project and the roles to be cast. They provide the breakdown to license talent agents (not to the general public). Agents review the breakdowns and submit actors for roles. To submit means to send the CD an actor's professional head shot and resume listing their acting training, experince, special skills and links to their show reel containing examples of the actor's previous screen work. If the CD is interested in the actor, they invite them to audition. Now you can't just hire an agent, it's more like they choose you. Legitimate agents are paid a percentage of what an actor makes. (Never pay an agent up front.) Since they are paid only if an actor books a professional paying job, agents are very picky about who they take on as clients. And they can be picky because there are a lot more people wanting to be actors then there are roles. Sometimes a CD may list a breakdown on a website like backstage.com or actors access. Then you can "self submit" which means you can send in your professional head shot and resume without an agent. But if you're not union and don't live near where they're filming it's extremely unlikely you'll be invited to audition. And even if you are in LA , you'll still be competing against union actors with agents, show reels and strong resumes. If you're a minor, your parents have to be involved. There are a lot of scams and rip offs out there that prey on people who mistakenly think an actor can just be "discovered". The fact is professional acting is a business, not a lottery. It involves networking and marketing as well as talent, training and education. Being "discovered" is something you notice in hindsight, looking back. It's not a realistic goal for an actor. |
