Auditions: Sunday, April 24, 2011

This page contains auditions posted on Sunday, April 24, 2011.

Due to some upcoming early morning shoots, I wanted to give everyone a heads up that the daily post time for auditions may vary moving forward.

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.
