Auditions: Sunday, April 17, 2011

This page contains auditions posted on Sunday, April 17, 2011.

We have spent some time focusing on finding auditions, audition preparation, and booking the right type of work. No matter how talented and gorgeous you may be, it always comes down to who you know, or rather, who knows you.

The big question of this week is - how does networking play a role in your acting career?

How important is it to make an appearance at local film networking events, and how much does it make a difference in your career? Do you attend any local networking events for theater and film? How has it affected the work you are getting, and how have you grown from networking?

Let's start up this week's chat and discuss your thoughts about networking, attending events, and how this has made a difference in your acting career!

If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.

Thanks.

Seeking actors for Feature Film - May

Hello,
Seeking actors for a SAG Modified Low Budget Feature to be shot in May in Seattle 2011.

ARNAU- East Indian male, but open to any ethnicity. Early 20's. He's a socially awkward, possibly prematurely balding brainiac who is working as an intern at a magazine not because he wants to be a writer, but because it will look good on his grad school resume.

FARID-Male, early twenties, Native African, to play a polite exchange student who is being his best to deal with his host family's excessive gift giving and eccentricities.

For the role of Arnau, the actor would need a good availability for the month of May.

Thanks!

Casting Male and Female minorities lead for unconventional short film

Hello and thanks for viewing my ad. My name is Mark Goodlife, and I'm a local music video director.

I am currently casting for a small short film project that might turn into a feature film depending on the reception. This is a micro-budget production that I am funding with my own money. I will be paying per day, but the cast and crew will be extremely small.

I'm looking to cast a male and female lead role for the film:

Shawn -Male 21-30 preferred african american or mixed race
Alicia -Female 21-30 any race preferred

The film will be a mix of scripted and unscripted dialogue using a lot of improv. This film falls into the Mumblecore genre so dialogue will be a heavy factor.

Please email me with your head shots and your acting résumé. If you don't have a head shot or a resume, email me with a picture of yourself and we can take it from there.

This is a non-union paying gig.

You can learn more about the film by going to the website http://loveandlostfilm.tumblr.com/ Thank you again.
If you have any question please contact me at: (201) 383-5546

Compensation: $100 a day for shooting, or $50 a day and percentage of the film's royalties

Actors and extras needed (Seattle)

We are looking for leads and extras for a short we are filming soon within the next month.

Male lead: 20's, younger male, edgy style. Female lead, young 20's. Both leads must be able to convey a wide array of emotions and have chemistry with each other. Part of the short will take place at a wake, so the ability to switch from a solemn countenance to unabashed anger is a must. The extras will be those attending the wake.

Email us with a resume and headshot to be considered. This is a non paid gig. Look for our first video on FB under Sight and Sound Studios, located in Seattle.
