Nyc Shows
How can I find out where auditions for movies or shows are located in NYC?
I keep hearing how people go to auditions and end up getting the part, but how do they even find out about them? I’ve gone to 1 last month, but it was for a show and it wasn’t even for a real part. Where can I find a real audition for even smaller movies?
Here are THE ONLY LEGIT online sites that you can get work from:
ALL SITES NOT LISTED BELOW ARE SCAMS!
In NY:
-Actorsaccess.com
-NYCASTING.COM
-NYCASTINGS.COM
-Backstage.com (they have a weekly newspaper that you can get at stores that lists castings)
Free but proceed with Caution:
-Craigslist
-Mandy.com
-Castingcallsearch
Know that you’re ONLY going to see at most 30% of the work out there. ONLY agents have access to the serious jobs or the other 70%.
To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won’t see you unless you’re SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.
You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you’re interested in
DON’T
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT’S UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent’s ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

Jersey Boys (2005 Original Broadway Cast Recording) $8.75 Although it squarely falls in the “jukebox musical” category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of… |
