A Working Actor's Guide to Success - Auditioning II - Got the Call Back? Go Get the Job!

In the acting world I hear people say all the time to do your auditions and forget about them. Well, that’s fine if you are constantly busy doing other things, but I‘ve never been that way. It’s not my nature.

I tend to think about what I did inside that little room in front of the camera for days to come. I don’t know if is because I am a true believer in the power of attraction, but I am sure that imagining myself getting the jobs, taking to the director on the set, and actually working with the other actors and crew, have helped land dozen of jobs.

If you got a call from your agent saying that you have a call back, you have a great chance to get the part providing you follow the following steps:

-Practice at home some more keeping the same format you used in the first audition.

-Go to the call back dress exactly the same way as you did in the first audition.

-If you had a scene partner during the first audition, try to do the call back with the same person.

-When entering the room, try no to make too much eye contact with the clients. (Usually in a call back the clients as well as the director are present. These people are the ones deciding which talents are getting the jobs).

-Listen carefully to the director and follow the orders very strictly.

-Be polite, respectful, and professional. Do not make jokes or become too friendly with the people inside. Do your job with concentration and commitment.

-If the director suggests that you do your performance a second or a third time with different intensity, I recommend you ask politely to give you a percentage of increase or decrease. This will help you understand exactly where he/she wants you to go.

-After you are done, thank them for the opportunity, pick up your things and go.

Be patient. I have gotten jobs months and even a year after auditions. And don’t listen to people who are not busy acting. Focus on what you did inside that room and learn from your experiences, focus on the conversation with the director, focus on the money you are going to get, focus on the benefits you will bringt when they hire you. Remember, what you focus on, expands.

If you are a struggling actor or you are just beginning your career, find a secure way to make money with the benefit of freedom to keep acting. Find the perfect home business and you will find freedom and wealth.

Good Luck!

A Working Actor's Guide to Success - Auditioning I

Tired of going on auditions and not getting the jobs? Read these useful tactics from "The Call Back King" to increase your chances “dramatically”.

At the beginning of my career I went to all the auditions and casting calls I could find. I was determined to learn and succeed as an actor. The problem those days was that I did not have a clear understanding of the entire audition process; that alone was reducing my chances of getting jobs.

Once I understood the process, things started to happen. I remember in one occasion an agent telling me to focus exclusively in getting a second chance, instead of focusing on getting the final job. That was a powerful advice yet at the same time difficult to grasp.
I will try to sum up some of the basic points that have helped me land more than 80 commercials as a principal actor in less than 10 years. I am sure it will make it easier for you to get that next role.

Here it is:

-If you were given a script, read it a least 20 times. Memorize your part and know it like you know your name.

-Show up at the casting office at least half an hour earlier than your call time. Sit down by yourself and study your script some more until you are called inside.

-Bring a professional Picture & Resume (PR). Make sure it has all your personal information as well as the information of the agent that submitted you for the audition.

-Dress appropriately for the role, but be careful not to go overboard with props and clothing. Keep it simple.

-When it is your turn, walk straight to the mark in front of the camera and wait for the instruction from the casting director.

-Say your name (slate) looking directly to the camera. If they ask you for your profiles, turn to the left first keeping your head straight and looking to the horizon. Then turn to the right and do the same. Finally turn back to face the camera. This process should take no more than one minute.

-Enjoy your performance which I m sure you will after reading that script so many times.

-Focus only on getting a call back (second audition usually in front of the producers and decision makers) and not on getting the final job.

Follow them and improve your chances next time.

If you are having difficulties keeping afloat financially at the begining of your career, consider starting a home business. If you find the right one, you'll find wealth as well as freedom to act.

Gook luck!

Simple Advise For The Beginner Actor

Copyright © Alfonso DiLuca

I have been acting professionally for about 20 years. Once I was in my second year, things became easier and easier.

In this business, like in many other, once you establish your reputation things start to happen. The following simple list is for you to keep in mind if you are just starting in this business. Follow them carefully and you will be increasing your chances for success.

-Begin by taking acting classes. Even if you think you don’t need classes to teach you how to act, chances are you do need them. Professional actors, after they have mastered their fields, keep studying to improve their craft. Never stop taking classes, not just you will get better and more comfortable performing in front of an audience, but you will develop a more strong confidence in your abilities as an actor.

-Get yourself a professional looking picture and resume (PR). Even if you don’t have a lot of credits to show, you can star by writing your personal information, special skills, contact information, measurements, and acting classes experiences. Your picture is a valuable asset. Have a professional photographer take it for you. Color pictures are better than black and white.. Keep it simple and right to the point of presenting yourself the way you really are.

-Go to interviews with as many agents as you can. But be careful who you pick, specially if you are in a market where exclusivity is the norm. Be sure to ask other actors for good referrals. Remember you are employing an agent, and the other way around.

-Go and try every audition your new agent sends you. Don’t be afraid of failure. Remember to do what you fear first, and the end of that fear is certain.

-If you are devoted 100% to your career, try to find an alternative business that you can do parallel to the acting at least at the beginning.
Good luck and keep it simple!
