Question

How can i get acting auditions without an agent?

Answer 1

there is a magazine called "billboard" and thats where u can find when and where auditons are. U cant realy rely on websites to tell u about auditons but u can try! just google search ones in ur area.

Answer 2

Answer # 1 and # 2 offer valid suggestions. A Cattle Call or open audition would be advertised for specific shows, and most often, might be for extras, "fillers".

   In a theatrical sense, a company may have resident artists, similar to interns, who fill many principal roles.

   Certainly Film occasionally offers open auditions, especially for Site specific, OFF site location shooting. As # 2 states the big $$$ are usually chosen from known people in the crafts, no matter the genre.

   While not at all a fan of Agents, they serve a purpose when legit, and contact with SAG, Equity, etc, can get you info on legit agents.

   Certainly in any case it largely matters that a cast member has Talent, and some familiarity with stage or film work. That might be less of an obvious concern if one has a non speaking, filling in a cast, brief walk on, part. IE: "We have a Line of Roman Soldiers, guarding Caesar, one dropped out, we need one to fill that spot."

Answer 3

Noticeboards, Mandys.com, Craigslist, etc. But the REAL well paying jobs require an agent, simply b.c. they don't open the doors to any Tom, d**k or Harriette when big money is at stake (or very rarely).

Answer 4

go to cattle calls
