1 – The Internet

 

The internet is one of the easiest ways to find Hollywood acting auditions.  To get started, perform a standard internet search.  A targeted key phrase, such as “Hollywood auditions,” can lead you to websites were many auditions and open casting calls are listed.  These websites are like online job boards, but many focus only on Hollywood careers.

 

The internet can also be used to visit the online websites of television networks and television shows.  Reality television shows and game shows often post information on how to appear on television right on their website.  Unfortunately, you aren’t always able to audition.  Many times, your name may be randomly selected, but it won’t hurt to look.

 

What is nice about using the internet to find Hollywood auditions is the projects available.  Yes, you may want to get your start in a big budget Hollywood film, but why not start small?  Many independent film producers use the internet to advertise their auditions or open casting calls.  Of course, always use your best judgment when the internet is concerned.

 

2 – Acting School or Classes

 

In Hollywood, most acting coaches are experienced and known throughout the business.  Many have connections.  They may share these connections with you.  It is not uncommon for an acting coach to share information on auditions and open casting call with their students.  After all, what instructor doesn’t want to see their student succeed?  

 

3 – Magazines and Newspapers

 

Magazines and newspapers can also be used to find Hollywood auditions.  Typically, you are urged to rely on magazines more than newspapers.  Newspaper classified sections are often packed full of scams.  This can make it can be difficult to tell a legitimate Hollywood opportunity from a fake.  In terms of magazines, trade magazines are best for accurate and up-to-date information.

 

4 – Networking

 

As stated above, acting coaches usually have connections in the business.  These are not the only individuals who do.  If you want to be a successful Hollywood actor or actress, you need to network.  Meet and start a conversation with as many people as possible.  Another aspiring actor may let you in on an open casting call or share the telephone number of their agent.

 

Acting classes are a great place to network with others in the business.

 

5 – An Agent

 

Speaking of an agent, a Hollywood agent is one of the easiest ways to find Hollywood auditions and open casting calls.  They get paid when their clients work, so a professional agent is invested in your Hollywood career.  This can give you comfort and peace of mind in knowing that they truly have your best interest at heart.

 

As you can see, there are several different ways that you can find Hollywood auditions and open casting calls.  It is also recommended that you always keep your eyes and ears open.  When in Hollywood, you may never know what you overhear.

After eight years of being out of school (last one being the Art Institute of Atlanta) and running my own studio for the past ten years, it is really hard to get back into the groove of school. It is slower that I am use too, but that should prove to be a good thing, as I am able to work on tons of projects at once and help out as many other students as possible. It is great to meet other Classmates with the same faith focus as I do. I pray God uses us all to do mighty projects that will help many people in need. My main goal is to make the best projects with great meaning to them. If these projects can go to film festivals, speak to the hearts of the culture and h

Changing Hollywood for Families

IndieCross Studios was formed to change Hollywood for families. Period. That is the reason for everything we do. The first episode of our new webisode series, "Makin It LA" is exactly that. From networking with passionate writers, actors, and filmmakers, to making films that they can showcase their talent with. From talking to families and viewers to see what they want to give them high-quality alternatives delivered straight to their televisions, computers, and mobile devices. This is a brand new way of doing "Hollywood". We are listening to the viewers, giving artists an outlet, and distributing the films directly to the people who want them. If you want to join the cause, go to www.indiecross.com, find out more about us, and get involved. We are changing lives in Hollywood, giving families what they want and building a "new way" of doing films. :) Layne McDonald
