Red carpet premieres and movie stars sitting near you at a nice restaurant may be unique to a Hollywood acting career, but some things about Hollywood are just like any other business. You must market yourself as an actor to get more casting calls just like every other business must do marketing.
If you want television auditions, commercial auditions, auditions for movies, Disney auditions or auditions for any other projects in Hollywood, the casting directors in L.A. have to know you're out there!
If they don't know you, they can't cast you.
L.A. Casting Directors: Getting Auditions With Them
Many actors tell me of their frustrations about casting directors not calling them in to audition for roles they would be perfect for. If this is you, then what you're about to read in the next three minutes could make a huge difference in your acting career.
No matter what your situation is. I can tell you one thing for sure: If you are not getting enough auditions, you need to get more casting directors to know you, like you, and trust your work, so that they feel confident about calling you in to audition for their projects.
You can dramatically increase your odds of getting called in for auditions by doing just one thing.
As an actor, you must let the casting directors know that you are a professional actor who has taken acting classes, who may also be a SAG member (you don't have to be), that you are available and desirable for them to cast you in their film, or TV movie, or commercial, soap opera, or whatever they may be casting.
How do you get them to know you?
Best Way To Get Auditions With L.A. Casting Directors
To get them to know you, you have to consistently get your face in front of them.
Whether you are represented by a talent agent, a management company, or no representation at all, it doesn't matter. Someone has to get the casting directors to know you. Even if you have a talent agent or manager, if you aren't getting enough auditions, they may not be sending your headshot out enough. So then it comes back to you to do what you can do to get auditions.
What is the best way to begin to get the casting directors in L.A. to know you? By sending them postcards on a regular basis. This is the easiest, fastest, simplest way to get your face in front of the legitimate Hollywood casting directors who are casting real projects.
Why does this work with the Los Angeles Casting Agencies?
When you send your photo postcard (4x6" headshot) to the Casting Directors in Los Angeles on a consistent and regular basis, it works just like television commercials.
They may not call you the first time. They may not call you the second time. But every time they see your face on that photo crossing their desk, they become more familiar with you. And the odds of you getting auditions and casting calls goes up every single time.
To do this, you must first have a targeted list of casting directors who cast projects you would be right for. Each month, you send those casting directors your postcard announcing something new about what's happening in your career. This is how they start to recognize you and think of you for projects.
How do you come up with your targed list of L.A. Casting Directors? We will create it for you. We keep track of all the Casting Directors in L.A. and what they cast. Whether it's TV shows for NBC, ABC, Nickelodeon, CBS, FOX -- all of them. We know who casts what and what types of actors they like.
If you have casting directors to add to the list, we can include those also! You will have an awesome list of L.A. casting directors to target over time to market to.
But... What If I Haven't Been Cast In Any New Roles Lately?
It doesn't matter. If you haven't been cast in anything lately, that's even more reason to mail out to the Los Angeles Casting Directors. When you work with Smart Girls on targeting the L.A. Casting Directors, we have lots of ideas on things you can say -- old things you can make new, things you can expand on in different ways. We've been doing this since 1992 and we have lots of secret ideas on things to say!
Why Should I Market to the Casting Directors Now?
If you're sick of missing auditions and you're itching to start auditioning, you have to do something about it. Many actors complain about not getting enough auditions, but yet they don't let the casting directors know they exist. Unfortunately, you will never be called in by a casting director who doesn't even know you exist.
How Do I Get Started?
To get started, you simply choose the number of times you want to mail out to your 100 Hand-Picked Casting Directors. You place your order, and then we will contact you when we receive it.
We will give you options on ordering your photo postcards and you can put the message sticker and address sticker on them. Or we can do everything for you with our Total Care Casting Directors Campaign package.
Every month, when it's time to mail out your next set of postcards to the casting agencies, we will do it all again for you. We create a message for you. We make sure the addresses of the Casting Directors on your Targeted List is up to date. And then it gets sent out -- either by you or by us, depending on which option you choose.
