Thank you so much Belgica! Im a honduran aspiring actor and living in Honduras. This video helped me a lot on how the industry works, specially in USA. Here in Honduras the industry is absent and it is difficult to find good jobs here.
@@BelgicaPaola hey I definitely love your content . Let me ask you . How many head shots and half body and full body shots should I put on these casting websites ??????
I'm also from the Bay area, I work near Downtown Oakland. I just stumbled onto your TH-cam page and, Wow this vid was helpful and informative. Thank you for putting this together. Like you I've been following Kurt Yue, he's super helpful!
Great info, I'm from Delaware lol and I have to consider the New York, Philadelphia, Maryland and Virginia markets. I'm about to upgrade my Actors Access account and when I get new headshots IMDB because your right IMDB is a crucial site to have and if you don't have IMDB Pro you're limited. Actors need to not only consider budgets for different sites but budgets for casting as well, you would look foolish to be hired for a job BUT can't get there because of finances
Please could you maybe do a video on theatre acting and websites for them? Just because I'm younger and struggle to find tv roles since I live in a smaller area.
Hey! For theatre work, you can follow them on social media and look on their website for their open calls. I don't do much theatre any more but when I have more info, I'll share it in a video. 😊
I know this is something a lot of people go through so I wanted to put everything I know so far about casting websites in one video. I will be doing other separate videos to go more in depth in some of these subjects. I know it is LONG. lol But I like long videos, I watch YT instead of Hulu/Netflix most of the time.
I only use Actors Access because it’s free😀 It’s hard to find auditions because I’m only 15 even on Actors Access and everything else requires a subscription😒 I’m just tired now😶
Thank you or your amazing vibe in this video! I have a Q: how do you get paid on a Casting Networks? I have a message from the client after I requested a submission, and he asked me about a Venmo account as they pay using that transferring system. Is that fine? I thought I`ll have earns in my account which I`ll transfer to my bank account.
Hi Diana! 💕 Thanks so much. Each job will pay you differently but not through the app. The best way (I think) is through a check after filling out a W9 for them. I have gotten paid by venmo and paypal before but just make sure they are legit cus you never know. Personally, I have only been asked for payment info after being cast. Be safe! ♥️
Wow really love your content this is awesome . What is your preferred editing software you use for filmmaking, I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different ways in telling stories through film!
Thanks! I have been using premiere for a few months but I used imovie for a few years since it was free and very easy to learn. Feel free to comment your email and we can get in touch and see if it is a good fit.
Only if it says they are accepting non-union for that specific role. They usually have a minimum union people they have to hire and then after that, they have the option to hire some non-union.
hey your videos are very helpful but I’ve wondered how I can apply to be a extra/background actor but I’m under 16 so how do I apply and could tell me if there are any good applications online around London or Hertfordshire ❤️
Hi Melissa :) I am not sure if you watched the section on how to find background work in the video. The time stamps are in the description. A few of them are also in the UK so you would just have to read their FAQ's or if they have a minor sign up.
Yup, this would be under the Actors Access section but you will only be able to audition for bigger roles if you have that account in addition to an agent.
I was paying for actors access because I was so excited being a new actor. I was paying for actors access before I had head shots made even after I had head shots made yet I didn’t have any acting reels up and I wasted over $100 on this casting site i didn’t have all my ducks in a row, so it is a huge waste of money. If you do not have everything that you need head shots, acting real slates, etc. you will be a wasting money, even at $10 a month♥️
You should know before hand unless casting is irresponsible. Usually, they include it in the casting call. If you are not comfortable with it, you should never do it.
Yes, backstage is designed for new actors looking for smaller projects like low budget theatre, commercials and student films. You will have to pay a monthly or annual fee. I don't recommend it for everyone. If you haven't already, please watch the video and I explain all the different ones I know of and the locations I recommend.
I am not super great at editing yet but I used imovie for a few years and then switched to premiere pro. I would say to experiment if you can and there are some good classes on Skillshare and even more youtubers who talk all about it!
@@BelgicaPaola i have used backstage some times and well i don’t have experience so im just looking for castings without pay its a good way to start 👍😅
Hi Dalilah :) I made this very detailed video so you can take a look yourself based on my description of each one based on all the categories I mentioned. I live in CA, so I don't have personal experience in CHI.
Of course! :) I have been working on this for a while but I want to make sure I give you lots of great info and personal experience. So it will be up as soon as I can but likely not this month. Not sure if you already saw this one but this is about how I got my SF agents. th-cam.com/video/hpxW_SXgx_k/w-d-xo.html

Great info, Belgica! Consider me a new fan!
Thanks!
thank you!
Thank you for watching! 😊
I'm now subscribing. Thank you so much. I'm super new to all of this
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m from the Uk. And I’m currently using backstage and I got it for free from ur video! Ur amazing :) I auditioned yesterday for a student film.
Amazing!
How do u get it for free?!
It's a 2 week trial.
@@BelgicaPaola I got it for 6 months! I don’t know how I got so lucky but I found one for 6 months
Oh, wow. 😯 That must have been a technical mistake. I've never seen 6 months free.
I'm also from the Bay area, I work near Downtown Oakland. I just stumbled onto your TH-cam page and, Wow this vid was helpful and informative. Thank you for putting this together. Like you I've been following Kurt Yue, he's super helpful!
Thanks! 😊 I am in the Bay and LA. I have only seen a few of Kurt's videos and I think he shares great info from the perspective of someone in GA.

Thanks, Tony! Yeah, there is so much to think about and so much to invest in when being an actor.
Another great video!
Thanks!!!

Is like you were reading my mind before posting the video because I needed this

@@BelgicaPaola Lol its okay I learn a lot from the video thanks again
Love the new video this helped alottt!! 💗💗
Glad you liked it, Octavia!
Hey! Excited! Need some new auditions🤣
Hi Tamara :) Let me know if you already use any of these!
I only use Actors Access because it’s free😀 It’s hard to find auditions because I’m only 15 even on Actors Access and everything else requires a subscription😒 I’m just tired now😶
Thank you soo much 😭😭😭👍🏽I WILL TELL MY MOM ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY
You’re welcome 😊

Hey i live in kansas? I dont really think theres any movies i could audition for while in kansas
Hi there! In this video, I explain how you can login with a non-paid account and see which are near you.
@@BelgicaPaola oh 😊 thank you
If you are non union can you apply to SAGAFTRA or other union jobs??
Only if it says they are accepting non-union for that specific role. They usually have a minimum union people they have to hire and then after that, they have the option to hire some non-union.

@@BelgicaPaola ok thank you so much
Hi was wondering if you know anything about Netflix casting calls and how they do auditions. Hope to hear from u soon🤍
Yup, this would be under the Actors Access section but you will only be able to audition for bigger roles if you have that account in addition to an agent.
@@BelgicaPaola thank you so much!

Yes, you definitely need to have all the marketing materials to succeed 🙂 especially headshot and a reel. Even if it's just temporary ones.
I have a question if you dont mind :)
Do actors know about kissing, nudity and sex scenes beforehand or do they only find out after being casted?
You should know before hand unless casting is irresponsible. Usually, they include it in the casting call. If you are not comfortable with it, you should never do it.
Quick question. So can buy backstage rn as like a new actor??
Yes, backstage is designed for new actors looking for smaller projects like low budget theatre, commercials and student films. You will have to pay a monthly or annual fee. I don't recommend it for everyone. If you haven't already, please watch the video and I explain all the different ones I know of and the locations I recommend.
@@BelgicaPaola oh ok Tysm
What is the best editing app for ft TH-cam videos
I am not super great at editing yet but I used imovie for a few years and then switched to premiere pro. I would say to experiment if you can and there are some good classes on Skillshare and even more youtubers who talk all about it!
@@BelgicaPaola thank you. I was thinking about using Adobe premiere pro 😃
Incredible video :D
Thanks! 😁 Let me know if you end up using any of these sites!
@@BelgicaPaola i have used backstage some times and well i don’t have experience so im just looking for castings without pay its a good way to start 👍😅
I hope all the free resources are helpful! 😊
Thanks
Hello, I am in 11th standard and I will give auditions after the 12th so is it good time to give auditions?
Hello! I am not sure what you mean by "11th Standard". Would you mind explaining?
whats a good website when you live in chicago (im 15)
Hi Dalilah :) I made this very detailed video so you can take a look yourself based on my description of each one based on all the categories I mentioned. I live in CA, so I don't have personal experience in CHI.
Hi! What do you think of Project Casting?
I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on it. There are SO many lol.
What do you think about All casting are they legit
I haven't used it, so I don't have personal experience.
Can you review them and make a video about them
Hi Julian, I don't use them but if I ever do, I will be sure to make a video on it.
bet
🙌
Can we get a video on agents/managers, when to find one, etc.?
Of course! :) I have been working on this for a while but I want to make sure I give you lots of great info and personal experience. So it will be up as soon as I can but likely not this month. Not sure if you already saw this one but this is about how I got my SF agents. th-cam.com/video/hpxW_SXgx_k/w-d-xo.html
