You know the black girl with the glasses from the show Black-ish? She was from Plano, Texas up the street from me ... ANY PLACE is ideal to pursue what YOU want to pursue. Don't let judgemental media and people with no knowledge justify what is and what aint right. Couple other actors and singers where from they small tiny towns of Terrell, Texas ... It's not where you are from, it's how you pursue getting out there and place the competition. Begins with removing that mindset you got ;-)

Belgica Paola Rodriguez Of course! It’s always a pleasure and unfortunately no 😩 lol but I’m thinking about booking a trip to LA Valentines Day to treat myself and also check out some work out there before I decide if I want to move out there because I stay in ATL and the film industry is also booming here I currently do tons of extra work on the CW show “Legacies” at the moment.
Omg! Yes! I hear ATL is a great place to work. I think you should get an agent here and in GA and stay in GA until you have a great resume because there's a lot of competition here vs GA.
Belgica Paola Rodriguez Oh yes I definite agree with you there because I just got my IMDB page up and I still have to add more credentials before I really get the ball rolling, I also want to attend a few acting classes as well
Hi there! I am doing some research and will post soon on how to get cast in other countries. If you would like to act in the US, you would have to live here so maybe consider going to college here or doing some kind of exchange program.
I’m moving to Florida next year so as of now I’m looking for little jobs such as short films and commercials so I’ll have some experience during bigger auditions when i try and find my agent. So these are great!
I like the way you don't cut your video during talking, it's a great sign of confidence and I ll be for sure starting to check social media for opportunities specially ones including music
Yes, I agree. Most casting calls are for over 18 because a lot of restrictions come with casting minors. My best advise would be to get an agent. Let me do some research on this and I'll post a video soon! 😊👍

That's something you can absolutely work on. :) You should start off by practicing monologues in your room, then in front of friends/family and then in an acting class!
This video was helpful I’m a new aspiring actor from Jersey and I’d like to be in a Netflix movie or any big movie and television series some day thanks for the ideas

I also want to act but I live in Kansas and movies and films don't get filmed here and my mom doesn't want to travel far but I am practicing to memorize scripts and mock auditions since I'm a minor I can't travel by myself l😥
That's great that you are practicing! Keep it up and once you are able to, you can drive yourself to set. Meanwhile, see what small projects are local near you to develop your skills and resume.
HI there!! I am Adah and I REALLY want to act in the U.S I live here in PHILIPPINES I actually saw something where we can just email nickelodeon to get in (if we impress them). This was SUPER helpful since I don't have any agents or anything like that.
Hi there! I just Google it to see what it's all about and it tools like it's from Breakdown services and is asking to have an Actor's Access account or Agent. The deadline is Saturday. I'm not sure if they are accepting international submissions. Let me do some research and I'll try to make a video today since I know a lot of people would like to know about this. 👍 Thanks for your comment!
@@BelgicaPaola Thank you, I had a question, is this myactingfile site safe? because I am registering now and it wants a picture of my whole body and all the weird questions
Most causing websites ask you for photos and measurements of your body. If you're not comfortable with it, you shouldn't do it. But it is very normal. What is not normal is for nude photo or payment to audition. A subscription fee is normal. Paying more than $30/month is not.
I'm 32 Trying to get a start in acting, I have no idea where to start and where I live there not really any talent community, if I can find someone to take me under their wing it would help, I'm a hard worker and willing to learn whatever is thrown at me.
Hey! I honestly don't have a real opinion because I have never lived there but I know that LA has more TV and comedy and that is what I am more interested in. There is a great episode on Audrey Helps Actors about acting markets and what actors should be in LA vs NY. I highly recommend it!
Hi there! The ones I am a part of are mostly LA and SF based I would suggest searching for PA Auditions, or films/creatives and then the name of your city and some should pop up. I am also a part of Women in Theatre, Women in TH-cam and Latinx Theatre groups (if you are latinx) that are global. 👍😊
Hi there! You shouldn't get a casting website for the US unless you are here in the US. Most casting websites hire local people only. Anyone can make it in Hollywood but you would have to figure out your path. All are different. What I suggest is training, experience, and to of course live in LA.
Hello I am from Baltimore, Maryland and I want to take my acting more seriously, but I don’t know where to start? Especially since I feel like many things aren’t located near me. The closest is probably like New York or DC. But I do plan on moving within like the next two years.😩
For now, I would highly suggest to work with local filmmakers and get your resume and reel together. NY of course is a great place but if you can, start making connections over there and when you can finally move, you will be able to get more work because you already know some people. You should look into the sites I mentioned and ask around for any remote opportunities.
I’m 22 and currently in classes with JC but I’ve been told to look for local auditions and can’t find none is there anything you recommend I’m from Austin Minnesota
I recommend making free account for any that I mentioned that you are interested in and see if they have work in your area. For sure groin FB groups and search for filmmakers/actors on IG. You might also like this playlist that has lots of info on getting started and how to find auditions. th-cam.com/video/EwNMVGq6Q4g/w-d-xo.html
I am from Kenya. I am really interested in acting and i don't even know how i can venture into acting in the US. I am 21 years of age.Can you advice on this please. Thanks for the video!
Hi there! I don't have any personal experience, but from what I have heard, you would need to move to the US or make a name for yourself in your country first and then have your agent or manager help introduce you to the US market.
You can simply submit for representation on their website or send an email 😊 Here's a video on ways to find agents to submit to. th-cam.com/video/w3ipiOlRpaM/w-d-xo.html
Depends on a lot... if you live in LA and want to do Film/TV, I would say actors access. I have a video here with everything I know about casting websites and how to choose one that is right for you. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
Hi I live in Chicago IL and I want to know how. To be in a movie but I can’t spend any money so I guess I’m looking for something that I don’t need experience for
That would fall under a few of the ones I mentioned. Definitely start with theatre and student films. There are also some free online acting classes that you should look into! 😊
I'm worried that because where I live I will never get a chance to pursue my dream in acting I've been doing this from i was in school and i left school and cant even send my self to acting classes or anything
Hi Trenice, there are so many ways you can act. Have you though about making your own work? Training is very important. If you can't go to a class, try researching different acting techniques and act with friend. In the future, when you can, get into a class or hire an acting coach to help you get even better.
Yeah, there are some in this video. You simply have to take a look and do some additional research to see your location specifically. I also explain in detail in this video. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
Hey love I’m Shalena and I’m 12. I live in NYC and I have no experience. I’m thinking of just being a extra just to build my resume. Do you have any tips
Hello Shalena, :) As an extra, you would experience what it is like to be on set but you won't get any speaking time on the camera. I have a full playlist on being an extra if you want to see what it is like. I would suggest acting classes and getting some acting experience as background work does not go on a resume. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi, i from the Philippines and i want to be on casting TV shows in US. The problem is i don't have an acting experience on TV but i was part of acting theater when i was younger. Hopefully i'll get a chance to land on TV. Thanks.
Hello 😊 Here's all I currently know. th-cam.com/video/K8FuZasm-YA/w-d-xo.html Especially now because of COVID productions cast locals only unless you are a very well established actor in your country. I only have experience as an actor in California but whener I do find any info for international castings, I will be sure to make more videos on it, meanwhile keep on doing research to see if anyone else has more info. I do not know of any casting agencies/websites that have open calls/self submissions from other countries.
im having a problem i tried applying for stranger things audition and its having me fill out something which i was doing until it asked for waist size sleeve size inseam size like i dont know all of that and i dont have a measuring tape to do that and asking if i have a car which i dont im 17
Hey! I recommend getting a soft measuring tape. You can probably get it at the dollar store or amazon. If you don't have a car, that is fine. Make sure you are reading everything as it will let you know what is a must and what is optional like having a car usually is.
Yes! A few of these should be useful foe Texas. Not sure if you watched the entire video but there are a few I mentioned are applicable almost anywhere in the US.
My mom has a Canadian citizenship but we live in America. If I want to act for somewhere in Canada can me and my family like drive up there just so I can act in Canada? sorry if this doesn't make sense.
You would have to see what the laws are for CA and international employees. If you are under 18, you are very likely going to have to get a minor workers permit on top of travel documentation.
I actually haven't used it. I don't really know of anyone who uses it either. I will take a look in the future. I have received a lot of comments about it.
I’m in Boston Massachusetts and have no experience with acting, Can you recommend ways to start acting (For example good casting call websites/apps, ways to get better, etc)

Hellooo! Do you know of any good website where I can find agencies or agents in Atlanta? I will try looking up in these websites you mentioned, but maybe going to the place itself is a better idea. Thank you so much!
I’m new in this acting department and never have done anything related to it but I really want to act as an extra close to home and grow then go from there on. Could you please give me any tips
Hi there 😊 I have a Playlist all about being an extra here. th-cam.com/play/PL6RchckIZyQfk4eIjJMCYGPJ6g8Vy_SCq.html Doing background/extra work is okay if you just want to see what it's like but it will not give you experience acting as you don't get lines and sometimes don't even get seen. I would suggest this video that describes how to start a career in acting. th-cam.com/video/eXWHfqNeH_o/w-d-xo.html
I don't know about modeling but if it's like acting, I suggest doing more research to see why they might have not reached back and then submit again in 3-6 months.
I’m from Australia and there is like no Netflix shows or movies really ever filmed here I’m with a agency but they don’t reach out to America like stranger things or movie productions i look at project casting but do you know any good places to find any
Having an agency is great! I am not familiar with other countries casting process but I am doing research on international casting. I'll post the video as soon as I have enough info 😊👍 I would also suggest creating your own content on TH-cam to get the attention of US companies and casting directors.
I am younger than 13, but drama/acting teachers have said I have a potential in tv/movies, do you think it would be hard to find a casting call for my age?
Hi there! Yes, it is a bit harder for people under 18 but still doable. If you are under 18, you will need your parent or guardian's permission, a work permit for each state you work in, schedule time for school, and only submit to work that is explicitly for minors. Hope this helps!
Not very likely, but if they do, it will always be stated in the casting call before you audition. Most of the ones I mentioned in this video are for smaller budgets and local hires.
I want to act but my parents won’t pay for anything until they know I’m being for real so I’m trying to find acting jobs for free so that maybe my parents will eventually pay for the “more known” casting websites
Hi there 😊 it sounds like you are under 18. I have a few videos on this but I highly suggest to prove it to them by being serious about it and dedicating time for it at home. You can also add acting related things to you Christmas /Birthdays/Holiday wish lists.
Would you recommend me to apply for a casting call that requires the actor to be a US native speaker while I‘m not? I am pretty confident in my pronunciation and ability to memorize texts in English but I am German…
@@BelgicaPaola thank you so much for your reply! I just found the exact same casting call on backstage and there aren’t any requirements…which is kinda weird. But I’ll try to audition! :) www.backstage.com/casting/no-filter-409985/?
Hello, so im from Croatia and im 17 I want to act or be an extra in the US, but im from Croatia. Any tips or any advices on how to get an agent or how to apply for auditions for like netflix
Hi there! I don't have much experience with international casting but this is a video where I put all the info I have. Feel free to watch and comment any additional questions there as I will be speaking with friends of mine to came from other countries to the US for college/acting. th-cam.com/video/K8FuZasm-YA/w-d-xo.html
Hello :) There are a lot of obstacles I would imagine, especially now with covid. I would suggest to start where you are, get a local agent and have them help you learn how that is done. I have only worked in the US so I don't have personal experience getting an international agent. Best of luck!
Hi!! I’m in Michigan rn and i really wanna become An actor I’m 15 I’ve been struggling on how to start I say I should take acting classes, sometimes I say I should just become an extra in some shows then go on from that but do I need an agent to become an extra and how also I wanna become an actor but like not in Michigan like is there agents that find you auditions outside of Michigan?
Hi there, if you are starting out, you should have an agent that is near you. I definitely suggest doing acting training first, get some experience locally in student films and indie films so you can build your resume and talent first. I have a whole playlist on being an extra if you want to see what that is like.
@@BelgicaPaola There are no casting calls in general in my country. You have to go to acting college for almost 5 years to ask for getting cast. That's why I'm asking for casting calls abroad. I've heard that backstage is good, but...I have no idea about the paying fee for begginers.
I see. Backstage mostly has small local jobs. I would suggest applying to free open calls that are public only as it would not be worth it to pay for Backstage if all you can apply for are open calls through them.
Hi Emily :) I have a few videos on how to start a career in acting that I have linked below. As far as training, right now everything is online. I also just uploaded a video on a SUPER affordable class I just took with The Sanford Meisner Center in Burbank (online). Here's how to start a career in acting in the bay. th-cam.com/video/bcvDug5DWtA/w-d-xo.html Here's one that is more general th-cam.com/video/eXWHfqNeH_o/w-d-xo.html And if you are under 18, here is a bonus one on starting a career in acting as a teen. th-cam.com/video/4g8LkO22Mhk/w-d-xo.html
Yes! Not sure if you watched the entire video but there are a few I mention that you can look at anywhere and see if there are any opportunities near you.
If you are under 18, I'm afraid I don't know how it works since I don't have children and started working in the industry after 18. I mostly see castings for over 18 on these websites but it might be because I'm over 18. I suggest talking to your parents and seeing if they are willing and able to help you get acting representation (an agent) and they can guide you through how to get auditions. I do know there are some under 18 castings on websites but if course you need a minor workers permit that will need to be filled by your parents.
@@BelgicaPaola my parents are fine with this but they aren’t willing to help me in any way. They basically don’t care what I do but I cbat bother them. So I really want to become an actor but I am under 18 with no experience
hi i’m a 13 year old aspiring actress my dream is to be on broadway and also to be an actress. currently i have a virtual broadway workshop in october ( which i need to practice for) and i am currently signed up for back stage -actors access - and one more i don’t remeber the name of but the only one that seems to have anything that could possibly work for me is backstage so do you have any advice?
Hi there 😊 since you are under age, I wouldn't be able to give you personal advice. Most casting calls online are for over 18. I would suggest getting together your headshot, resume and reel if you have one and try submitting to agents near you. 👍
No, there are opportunities all over the country. You can take a look on each site and see which are available near you. I explain where else you can look in this video. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
Hi there! These are the sites I suggest. :) The agencies and casting sites are very specific to your location. If you live in LA or SF then I would say these are all great! SAG-AFTRA also has a list of agents.
I live in the middle-east but I have no agent and I am 12-13 and I have seen a few roles for my age but I have to pay and a question I have is..Do your parents pay for a flight to the set or does the producers and directors pay for you to fly?
Hello 😊 you would have to see what each casting call says to get the answer. Most do not pay for travel which is my they hire local people. If you are under age you will also need a work permit for the state you work in plus any other visa/immigration documents needed to travel and work in that country. I highly suggest getting started locally and once you have a local agent that can help you out, you can book jobs in other countries.
Hi there, you can Google it and sew if there are any acting opportunities in your area. Make sure to do your research to make sure they aren't scams. Best of luck! 😊
Hi Abbey! If you don't have any experience I would suggest looking for film or theatre schools near you to see if they are offering any open call auditions. Also any training you can do at home would be great. 😊👍
I would be happy to answer any questions on here! I might already have a video on the subject. You can also DM me on IG. @belgica.rodriguez.professional
How would I be able to be a good enough actor? I have a dream to become an actor and be in a movie/film/series with Thomas Brodie Sangster. My dream is big, but I feel like I can make it there. Where can I find an agent quickly and online auditions?
You should consider what your resources are and see if they are any free on affordable classes you can attend. I have videos on some. I do hope to help you through my videos 😊 but I am not an acting coach.
I feel like LA Is an ideal spot to be if I'm pursuing a career in the acting industry
Yes, definitely. 👍

Hi there! Thanks for the video suggestion. I will be sure to make this video in the upcoming weeks. :)
Belgica Paola Rodriguez thx so much☺️
I’m in North Carolina next to Wilmington nc where they do casting calls and I wanna learn
Hello! I don't know about that market but you can try the things I mentioned in this video and just add "North Carolina" 😊
What should I search for background Facebook groups ?
Your city then background actors or extras. For example, Sacramento Background Actors or Sacramento Extras Actors. Try a few variations.
Thanks this is helpful.
And how would I contact you
If I do have a link to send you
Hi there! You can leave it here in the comments or Instagram :)
I live right near SF and I’m looking for a free casting site and/or a casting place to go to. Any recommendations? Love your content
Thanks James 😊
If you live near SF, then most of the ones I mentioned.
I also want to act but I live in Kansas and movies and films don't get filmed here and my mom doesn't want to travel far but I am practicing to memorize scripts and mock auditions since I'm a minor I can't travel by myself l😥
That's great that you are practicing! Keep it up and once you are able to, you can drive yourself to set. Meanwhile, see what small projects are local near you to develop your skills and resume.
@@BelgicaPaola Thx 🙂
HI there!! I am Adah and I REALLY want to act in the U.S I live here in PHILIPPINES I actually saw something where we can just email nickelodeon to get in (if we impress them). This was SUPER helpful since I don't have any agents or anything like that.
Hi there! I just Google it to see what it's all about and it tools like it's from Breakdown services and is asking to have an Actor's Access account or Agent. The deadline is Saturday. I'm not sure if they are accepting international submissions. Let me do some research and I'll try to make a video today since I know a lot of people would like to know about this. 👍 Thanks for your comment!
@@BelgicaPaola thank you so much
Of course. I'm actually editing a video now that I'm going to be posting in the morning (pacific time) with full details!
@@BelgicaPaolaoh ok so tonight for me lol
It so helpful thank u so much , is a long time I try to finde free audition👌👌
You're very welcome 🤗 also be sure to follow lots of casting directors on IG because they have been sharing on there too.
@@BelgicaPaola Thank you, I had a question, is this myactingfile site safe? because I am registering now and it wants a picture of my whole body and all the weird questions
Most causing websites ask you for photos and measurements of your body. If you're not comfortable with it, you shouldn't do it. But it is very normal. What is not normal is for nude photo or payment to audition. A subscription fee is normal. Paying more than $30/month is not.
@@BelgicaPaola ok I got it ❤️❤️👌👌
I already took acting classes , when I was younger , I wanna know how to get an agent
You would need to get your headshot, resume, reel and research agencies near you. A lot are accepting submissions via their website.
I love people watching me act. I love doing scary scenes
😊
I haven’t had any lessons for acting except in middle school. I want to be an actress really badly (hs now) what do you recommend doing?
I would highly recommend getting into a class it at least practicing at home. I've made a few videos on books and classes. 😊👍
this is my dream not just for the money this is for me my ulimate goal🔥
Good, because there is not a lot of money in it for most people and if there is, it takes a lot of time... and money.
I'm 32 Trying to get a start in acting, I have no idea where to start and where I live there not really any talent community, if I can find someone to take me under their wing it would help, I'm a hard worker and willing to learn whatever is thrown at me.
Hi Charles, if you don't have people in your area I suggest finding a big city near you and see how actors do it there.
What if I'm in an area where people don't really do any filming for stuff like a small town?
Hey! I have a few newer videos where I talk about this. Basically you either have to figure out a way to move, or create your own work.
How do you feel about new york city???
Hey! I honestly don't have a real opinion because I have never lived there but I know that LA has more TV and comedy and that is what I am more interested in. There is a great episode on Audrey Helps Actors about acting markets and what actors should be in LA vs NY. I highly recommend it!
Thanks belgica for your advice it's so good for me couz I audition on Disney next yera
Philippines
😊👍
Hey, thanks for this video. What specific Facebook groups do you recommend? (I am in PA)
Hi there! The ones I am a part of are mostly LA and SF based I would suggest searching for PA Auditions, or films/creatives and then the name of your city and some should pop up. I am also a part of Women in Theatre, Women in TH-cam and Latinx Theatre groups (if you are latinx) that are global. 👍😊
Very helpful thank you x
Hi Ella 😊
I'm glad you found this helpful! 💙 Let me know if you have any other questions or videos suggestions.
Love this video queen
Thanks!
Can Colombians algo get chance in Hollywood? I'm 18 years old but i'm not sure at all to pay the membership for the starnow website
Hi there! You shouldn't get a casting website for the US unless you are here in the US. Most casting websites hire local people only. Anyone can make it in Hollywood but you would have to figure out your path. All are different. What I suggest is training, experience, and to of course live in LA.
Hello I am from Baltimore, Maryland and I want to take my acting more seriously, but I don’t know where to start? Especially since I feel like many things aren’t located near me. The closest is probably like New York or DC. But I do plan on moving within like the next two years.😩
Also how to find an agent?
For now, I would highly suggest to work with local filmmakers and get your resume and reel together. NY of course is a great place but if you can, start making connections over there and when you can finally move, you will be able to get more work because you already know some people. You should look into the sites I mentioned and ask around for any remote opportunities.
Here's how I did th-cam.com/video/hpxW_SXgx_k/w-d-xo.html
@@BelgicaPaola thank you so much!!
Of course 😊
Thaaankksss i believe I’m gonna achieve my dream
Best of luck! :)
I wanna try miraculous to see if they have any roles left for season 5
Yeah, check it out. With COVID, who know where they are in the filming.
@@BelgicaPaola hopefully I can, Tysm for all the help!
I’m 22 and currently in classes with JC but I’ve been told to look for local auditions and can’t find none is there anything you recommend I’m from Austin Minnesota
I recommend making free account for any that I mentioned that you are interested in and see if they have work in your area. For sure groin FB groups and search for filmmakers/actors on IG. You might also like this playlist that has lots of info on getting started and how to find auditions. th-cam.com/video/EwNMVGq6Q4g/w-d-xo.html
I am from Kenya. I am really interested in acting and i don't even know how i can venture into acting in the US. I am 21 years of age.Can you advice on this please. Thanks for the video!
Hi there! I don't have any personal experience, but from what I have heard, you would need to move to the US or make a name for yourself in your country first and then have your agent or manager help introduce you to the US market.
@@BelgicaPaola Thanks for the reply,,if you ever hear of anything please reply.Thanks
Yes, I will make a video when I have more info :)
best way to get an Agent???
It almost seems like a Legend at this point ahah It's so difficult to figure this all OUT!
You can simply submit for representation on their website or send an email 😊 Here's a video on ways to find agents to submit to. th-cam.com/video/w3ipiOlRpaM/w-d-xo.html
What’s the best websites to look for casting calls?
Depends on a lot... if you live in LA and want to do Film/TV, I would say actors access. I have a video here with everything I know about casting websites and how to choose one that is right for you. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
Hi I live in Chicago IL and I want to know how. To be in a movie but I can’t spend any money so I guess I’m looking for something that I don’t need experience for
That would fall under a few of the ones I mentioned. Definitely start with theatre and student films. There are also some free online acting classes that you should look into! 😊
Belgica Paola Rodriguez thank you❤️
I'm worried that because where I live I will never get a chance to pursue my dream in acting I've been doing this from i was in school and i left school and cant even send my self to acting classes or anything
Hi Trenice, there are so many ways you can act. Have you though about making your own work? Training is very important. If you can't go to a class, try researching different acting techniques and act with friend. In the future, when you can, get into a class or hire an acting coach to help you get even better.
Do you have any sites which can be used worldwide, even European?
Yeah, there are some in this video. You simply have to take a look and do some additional research to see your location specifically. I also explain in detail in this video. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
Hey I'm 17 and have been in a decent amount middleschool and highschool musicals and plays. Is that a good base to start looking for auditions
Yes, for sure! Just make sure your parent/guardian is involved in everything.
Should I just see if there's any auditions in my area?
What are some of the best websites for beginners to get an acting tole
The ones I mentioned in this video are great for beginners! :)
I live in Georgia and I'm 11 but idk about moving far away so early and it is expensive
Yeah, do not move at such a young age. Plus, there's work in GA too. 👍
Hey love I’m Shalena and I’m 12. I live in NYC and I have no experience. I’m thinking of just being a extra just to build my resume. Do you have any tips
Hello Shalena, :) As an extra, you would experience what it is like to be on set but you won't get any speaking time on the camera. I have a full playlist on being an extra if you want to see what it is like. I would suggest acting classes and getting some acting experience as background work does not go on a resume. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi, i from the Philippines and i want to be on casting TV shows in US. The problem is i don't have an acting experience on TV but i was part of acting theater when i was younger. Hopefully i'll get a chance to land on TV. Thanks.
Hello 😊 Here's all I currently know. th-cam.com/video/K8FuZasm-YA/w-d-xo.html Especially now because of COVID productions cast locals only unless you are a very well established actor in your country. I only have experience as an actor in California but whener I do find any info for international castings, I will be sure to make more videos on it, meanwhile keep on doing research to see if anyone else has more info. I do not know of any casting agencies/websites that have open calls/self submissions from other countries.
im having a problem i tried applying for stranger things audition and its having me fill out something which i was doing until it asked for waist size sleeve size inseam size like i dont know all of that and i dont have a measuring tape to do that and asking if i have a car which i dont im 17
Hey! I recommend getting a soft measuring tape. You can probably get it at the dollar store or amazon. If you don't have a car, that is fine. Make sure you are reading everything as it will let you know what is a must and what is optional like having a car usually is.
Omg my dream is to become a actress but I’m only 14 years old and live in the Netherlands soo that’s difficult what I’m going to do
I suggest getting some training and looking for filmmakers near you to get some experience.
Is there any websites that have one acting auditions in Texas??
Yes! A few of these should be useful foe Texas. Not sure if you watched the entire video but there are a few I mentioned are applicable almost anywhere in the US.
Hi the Casting Taylor made, is that for all states? I live in Florida.
Hi there, as far as I have seen, it is only for Atlanta.
I live in Florida Boca Raton what area do you live in
My mom has a Canadian citizenship but we live in America. If I want to act for somewhere in Canada can me and my family like drive up there just so I can act in Canada? sorry if this doesn't make sense.
You would have to see what the laws are for CA and international employees. If you are under 18, you are very likely going to have to get a minor workers permit on top of travel documentation.
Do you know is AllCasting is a reliable casting place? I want to sign up but i want to make sure it's trust worthy.
I actually haven't used it. I don't really know of anyone who uses it either. I will take a look in the future. I have received a lot of comments about it.
I’m in Boston Massachusetts and have no experience with acting, Can you recommend ways to start acting (For example good casting call websites/apps, ways to get better, etc)
Hi there 😊 as of now, I don't have any knowledge on Boston but I have lots of videos on the ones I've used and you can try and sew if there are any there for you too!
Hellooo!
Do you know of any good website where I can find agencies or agents in Atlanta? I will try looking up in these websites you mentioned, but maybe going to the place itself is a better idea. Thank you so much!
Hello! I made a video about this. Here you go. :) th-cam.com/video/w3ipiOlRpaM/w-d-xo.html
I’m new in this acting department and never have done anything related to it but I really want to act as an extra close to home and grow then go from there on. Could you please give me any tips
Hi there 😊 I have a Playlist all about being an extra here. th-cam.com/play/PL6RchckIZyQfk4eIjJMCYGPJ6g8Vy_SCq.html
Doing background/extra work is okay if you just want to see what it's like but it will not give you experience acting as you don't get lines and sometimes don't even get seen. I would suggest this video that describes how to start a career in acting. th-cam.com/video/eXWHfqNeH_o/w-d-xo.html
What if you want to be a model but all of the modeling agencies you have applied to are not reaching out to you..
I don't know about modeling but if it's like acting, I suggest doing more research to see why they might have not reached back and then submit again in 3-6 months.
I’m from Australia and there is like no Netflix shows or movies really ever filmed here I’m with a agency but they don’t reach out to America like stranger things or movie productions i look at project casting but do you know any good places to find any
Having an agency is great! I am not familiar with other countries casting process but I am doing research on international casting. I'll post the video as soon as I have enough info 😊👍 I would also suggest creating your own content on TH-cam to get the attention of US companies and casting directors.
@@BelgicaPaola Sure thank you!
If they like you they will take you and buy you a ticket
Eyrs What is the company your agency works with, I would like to have an agency because I am also from Australia.
Do you have any casting website for la ?? I want to be an extra on like a Netflix show or movie
Yes😊 in LA, central casting is the biggest one.
I am younger than 13, but drama/acting teachers have said I have a potential in tv/movies, do you think it would be hard to find a casting call for my age?
Hi there! Yes, it is a bit harder for people under 18 but still doable. If you are under 18, you will need your parent or guardian's permission, a work permit for each state you work in, schedule time for school, and only submit to work that is explicitly for minors. Hope this helps!
if you dont live in the usa and u audition with a self tape and u end up getting the role , will they fly u there ?
Not very likely, but if they do, it will always be stated in the casting call before you audition. Most of the ones I mentioned in this video are for smaller budgets and local hires.
I'm from indonesian,and I'm 19 y.o but how I can get agent? I have experience like 5 short film and theater,but how I get agent outside us?
Hello :) I suggest starting by getting an agent near you first and they can help guide you.
So MyCastingFiles is mostly for extras in New Orleans and San Francisco!? I signed up today..... and I’m a minor from North Carolina (14) 😭
Maybe they'll expand in the future?
Same
Do you also recommend the Allcasting site?
I don't have experience with all casting. I will look into it and make a video on it. :)
How do you find an agent or agency? I’m currently looking but I’m so confused
It depends so much on where you live but here is how I got mine 😊 th-cam.com/video/hpxW_SXgx_k/w-d-xo.html
Lol everyone here is 13...well me too.
Also great video it was helpful
👍😊
I want to act but my parents won’t pay for anything until they know I’m being for real so I’m trying to find acting jobs for free so that maybe my parents will eventually pay for the “more known” casting websites
Hi there 😊 it sounds like you are under 18. I have a few videos on this but I highly suggest to prove it to them by being serious about it and dedicating time for it at home. You can also add acting related things to you Christmas /Birthdays/Holiday wish lists.
Are the any opportunities in Montreal Quebec, for the casting agency.!!?
I am abit hestitant to sign up .!
Why is there a Fee to register??
Hello 😊 I go over how to look in your area in this video.
Would you recommend me to apply for a casting call that requires the actor to be a US native speaker while I‘m not? I am pretty confident in my pronunciation and ability to memorize texts in English but I am German…
Hi Angelina, I don't see casting calls for US Native Speakers very often. You should go for it :)
@@BelgicaPaola thank you so much for your reply! I just found the exact same casting call on backstage and there aren’t any requirements…which is kinda weird. But I’ll try to audition! :)

I want to act or be an extra in the US, but im from Croatia. Any tips or any advices on how to get an agent or how to apply for auditions for like netflix
Hi there! I don't have much experience with international casting but this is a video where I put all the info I have. Feel free to watch and comment any additional questions there as I will be speaking with friends of mine to came from other countries to the US for college/acting. th-cam.com/video/K8FuZasm-YA/w-d-xo.html
Is it easy to get an agent (usa/uk) when u live in germany?
Hello :) There are a lot of obstacles I would imagine, especially now with covid. I would suggest to start where you are, get a local agent and have them help you learn how that is done. I have only worked in the US so I don't have personal experience getting an international agent. Best of luck!
hi! do you know if cast it talent is a good website or is it a scam ?
Hi there! I haven't used it, but I do have a playlist on casting sites that I use. :)

Hi!! I’m in Michigan rn and i really wanna become An actor I’m 15 I’ve been struggling on how to start I say I should take acting classes, sometimes I say I should just become an extra in some shows then go on from that but do I need an agent to become an extra and how also I wanna become an actor but like not in Michigan like is there agents that find you auditions outside of Michigan?
Hi there, if you are starting out, you should have an agent that is near you. I definitely suggest doing acting training first, get some experience locally in student films and indie films so you can build your resume and talent first. I have a whole playlist on being an extra if you want to see what that is like.
@@BelgicaPaola ya I’ll check that out but do I need to be in any acting classes for being an extra
Here's a video on that 😊th-cam.com/video/SL39PdW08jc/w-d-xo.html

Love & blessings to you Que Sera Sera

Should I move to LA for acting😥
I don't think you should now unless you already have training, big credits and connections.
What about people who live in the Balkans? Can they sign in too?
Hi there! Most of these cast locally only. You can apply but only if the casting call says "world wide casting call".
@@BelgicaPaola There are no casting calls in general in my country. You have to go to acting college for almost 5 years to ask for getting cast. That's why I'm asking for casting calls abroad. I've heard that backstage is good, but...I have no idea about the paying fee for begginers.
I see. Backstage mostly has small local jobs. I would suggest applying to free open calls that are public only as it would not be worth it to pay for Backstage if all you can apply for are open calls through them.
I’m 15 and live in Michigan i REALLY want to be an actress I just don’t know how to start...I don’t know if I have the money for acting classes.
Hi Emily :) I have a few videos on how to start a career in acting that I have linked below. As far as training, right now everything is online. I also just uploaded a video on a SUPER affordable class I just took with The Sanford Meisner Center in Burbank (online).

Yes! Not sure if you watched the entire video but there are a few I mention that you can look at anywhere and see if there are any opportunities near you.
What ages can you book? (Both parents are ok with this)
If you are under 18, I'm afraid I don't know how it works since I don't have children and started working in the industry after 18. I mostly see castings for over 18 on these websites but it might be because I'm over 18. I suggest talking to your parents and seeing if they are willing and able to help you get acting representation (an agent) and they can guide you through how to get auditions. I do know there are some under 18 castings on websites but if course you need a minor workers permit that will need to be filled by your parents.
@@BelgicaPaola my parents are fine with this but they aren’t willing to help me in any way. They basically don’t care what I do but I cbat bother them. So I really want to become an actor but I am under 18 with no experience
hi i’m a 13 year old aspiring actress my dream is to be on broadway and also to be an actress. currently i have a virtual broadway workshop in october ( which i need to practice for) and i am currently signed up for back stage -actors access - and one more i don’t remeber the name of but the only one that seems to have anything that could possibly work for me is backstage so do you have any advice?
Hi there 😊 since you are under age, I wouldn't be able to give you personal advice. Most casting calls online are for over 18. I would suggest getting together your headshot, resume and reel if you have one and try submitting to agents near you. 👍
@@BelgicaPaola thanks for responding i will work on getting more training and then submitting to agents 🌟
Do I have to live in California to get a audition for a movie or show?
No, there are opportunities all over the country. You can take a look on each site and see which are available near you. I explain where else you can look in this video. th-cam.com/video/Jy1xK2cG-Ms/w-d-xo.html
What are some website I could use. Also what agencies would be the best to sign up with?
Hi there! These are the sites I suggest. :) The agencies and casting sites are very specific to your location. If you live in LA or SF then I would say these are all great! SAG-AFTRA also has a list of agents.
Belgica Paola Rodriguez thank you x) def subscribing
Thanks! 😊
I live in the middle-east but I have no agent and I am 12-13 and I have seen a few roles for my age but I have to pay and a question I have is..Do your parents pay for a flight to the set or does the producers and directors pay for you to fly?
Hello 😊 you would have to see what each casting call says to get the answer. Most do not pay for travel which is my they hire local people. If you are under age you will also need a work permit for the state you work in plus any other visa/immigration documents needed to travel and work in that country. I highly suggest getting started locally and once you have a local agent that can help you out, you can book jobs in other countries.
I live in Alberta but I’m not sure if they film a lot of movies here

Hi Abbey! If you don't have any experience I would suggest looking for film or theatre schools near you to see if they are offering any open call auditions. Also any training you can do at home would be great. 😊👍
Hello! Do you know Any casting sites that will be located in FL?
Not specifically, but you can search lots if these and see if there are castings near you as many of these are not lo location specific.
Hi,is my castingfile gonna pay me for travel?any of these websites?
Nope, most acting jobs hire locals only. It is very uncommon for any casting team to look for actors and be willing to pay for travel.
Hi how could i contact you because i want to discuss things. Thankyou
I would be happy to answer any questions on here! I might already have a video on the subject. You can also DM me on IG. @belgica.rodriguez.professional
How would I be able to be a good enough actor? I have a dream to become an actor and be in a movie/film/series with Thomas Brodie Sangster. My dream is big, but I feel like I can make it there. Where can I find an agent quickly and online auditions?
It takes time. My biggest advice is to get training and so a lot of research on what is being made around you.
@@BelgicaPaola how would I train? Just practice being in a movie by myself? Do you think you could help me train:)
You should consider what your resources are and see if they are any free on affordable classes you can attend. I have videos on some. I do hope to help you through my videos 😊 but I am not an acting coach.
@@BelgicaPaola alright, thank you very much
