After years of submitting on Actor’s Access I was just invited to send a self tape audition! 🙏🏽🤞🏽
CONGRATS!!!!
Yearsss😮? Please tell me that’s a typo
@@Likeagirllife1234 not a typo. 😩
Thank you for calling out Casting Network. They are a rip-off and go against labor laws. As a working SAG-AFTRA, Equity actor, I refuse to join Casting Networks. I did belong years ago but no more. Casting Networks is great if you're a professional extra performer.
i know they are so frustrating. if i wasn’t being submitted by my commercial agent, i would not have it!
Sam awesome video and so helpful! Thank you
Yes!!! Agree with you 100%! This is what I tell my students. Like I feel like it was me speaking to me 😂 Thank you for putting this out there!
im a SO glad you found it!
For the algorithm!
Thank you Sam, you're awesome (:
my love language ;)
Wow, that was the most productive (no pun intended) and practical video I've ever seen on getting into (or, in my case, back into) acting. I just set up my Actors Access profile and will set up my Casting Networks profile tomorrow, and then start submitting. You made it so easy to learn and follow. Thanks, Sam!
thank you!!!!! this is my exact goal wow i feel so seen!!
@@OneBrokeActress Glad to hear that! We actors definitely need to feel like we're being seen 😁
Another good one Sam! I just uploaded a headshot and my reel to Casting App. So far it seems to work well. I guess we'll see what happens with it as time progresses!
oh fabulous! im excited to start working with it this year, i would love to see them blow CN outta the water ;)
Thank you for this I’m glad to hear that actor access is a good site to start with❤
it’s the most important for film and tv!!
I’m a upcoming actor starting new and I just found your videos and they are amazing thank you for helping me 🙏🏾🙌🏾
ahhh YES SIR! welcome and congrats on making the pursuit, a huge choice!!
Great breakdown. But even better are the personal tips and opinions! Appreciate calling out the predatory tactics. Love the righteous fury! You're looking out for vulnerable folks! Thanks for posting this.
im so glad you found it and found it helpful!!
im so glad you found it and found it helpful!!
you are SO welcome!!
Even better: Casting Frontier is owned by the same parent company that owns Casting Networks. If you pay for both, you're paying the same company twice.
The default sort of people with slate shots to the top is true (I've seen the casting side of AA). I bought a couple slate shots on my last headshot update with the thought that if I'm mostly targeting student films to update my materials, the students with less experience in this space may not necessarily know to sort outside of the default. I did notice an uptick in auditions early on, but I don't know if that was coincidental timing or not. I'm back to previous numbers, and I'm due to update my pics soon, and I doubt I will pay the extra fee again.
yea i feel like the slate shot part of it is only useful when it’s self-produced work, like you said! when read CDs are on the backend, they know the platform so well, they don’t care about slate shots. but that’s a smart note for new actors potentially trying to get first credits! i think having a reel will always be more important for sure!
Great information 👍 Thank You
you are SO welcome!!
What would be the best advice to combat the $22 clips for actors access? Would you keep clips to a minimum or just have a reel?
Also you’re a Queen for calling out the sketchy marketing these sites do!!
i have a short coming out about this, but i would say have a reel! it can be short and sweet, just showcase you amazing acting! and follow some more CDs on places like IG, they give stellar advice on this often!
Great video! Great advice! I just found out that you can save money on AA uploading media in 2 ways. One - Post your reel & then they let you cut it into clips at no charge. Two - If you have a couple or more clips that are under a minute, upload them at the same time before paying & AA will only charge you $22 if they total 1 minute. Whereas if you upload each one & pay right away, you'll be charged $22 for each one, thereby doubling or tripling your cost.
i love you so much
we gotta say it lol
Honestly, your camera dieing as you approached the next topic was fateful, because like you said, 'DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT', no Actors need to be wasting money on scams when so many things are NOT necessary to book work, and Done is better than perfect!
ok you caught the universal timing better than I did!! thank you SO much for watching it all, and ugh i could not agree more!!
@@OneBrokeActress Thank you for sharing!! I came across this video at the right time!
I trained with Michelle Danner
You awesome! Your hot. Your intelligent. Your very helpful. Thank you for your kind invaluable info.
why thank you!! i am glad you found me!
I did a reality show and was on fox before reality shows were a thing. Can that be on my resume? lol
personal opinion: if you don’t have anything else then yes id say you can add it on there, but as soon as you have something else “on camrea” i’d take it off! but ideally we get more on-camera work and accept being new for now!
can u get audition if i am from india
you can get projects in your area, for work in the us you will need a visa or green card!
@@OneBrokeActressHello, can I get an audition if I'm not leaving in the USA and get the visa after please?
Christina ricci never trained pooh Bear
Dig your vibe, just followed you on Instagram. Ty!
oh hello!! favorite kind of comment! i’m so glad you found me!!
Its helpful information but this isn't an acting job
which part!
