Open Agency Casting Calls
Feb 2nd, 2009 by Alan Yu
I was reading recently that there are some agencies that are conducting an open casting where anyone and everyone can just walk in if they are looking for an opportunity to be represented for film and television work. The thing is too some of them are semi reputable firms I suppose.
You are always told too to be weary of agencies that just sign up anyone as in many cases you are just one of hundreds of people on their roster. As a result, you probably won’t get pushed much when it comes to landing audition roles. Some people even say that reputable agencies will never post an ad to try and recruit talent.
I am almost thinking of going to one just to see what it is like when it comes to a principal agency conducting open auditions. I can see for things like background work it is usually entirely based on the look, but for acting I would think you would want to make sure that the person is professional. There is supposed to be one in the next few days, so maybe I’ll try it out.
