This page contains auditions posted on Monday, May 02, 2011.
This year is flying by, and May has arrived! With the start of this new month, and the popularity picking up for film in the Pacific Northwest, it may be necessary to strengthen your marketing tools for better visibility to the LA Casting Directors and Talent Agencies.
As actors, we may sometimes be asked to pay for specific services that can be viewed as marketing tools, but do these really help us find work? Casting Frontier is a popularly used resource in the Portland area, and while the basic profile is free, the premium profile is a minimal charge of $10/month, but opens up some very valuable resources, including having a demo reel available for visitors. Another widely known resource is IMDB, which is $15.95/month for a professional profile, also allowing a bio, headshots, and a demo reel.
There are other free actor resources out there, including Actor Access, Actor Hub, Model Mayhem, but which are more beneficial to use, and at what stage is it necessary to pay for these resources to move your career forward? What are the online marketing tools you take advantage of, and are the free resources enough for your acting needs?
Let's open the discussion and chat about your thoughts.
As always, 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.
