Look The Part

Posted by Jonathan Parker , 03 October 2007 - 04:48 AM

One of our Star Search Casting members recently wrote in:

"I love this website! I just signed up, and in an hour I had found 10 auditions that would be perfect for me. Thanks, SSC!!!!!!!!"

Brianna Redding, Pennsylvania

I love that we can provide so many opportunities for talented people from so many different regions. If you haven't had a chance to check out the auditions on our site, be sure to visit us today. There are lots of new opportunities posted.

While many of our members get an opportunity to audition for a variety of productions, quite a few are new to the industry and aren't really sure what to expect on their first audition. Lots of people have questions like, What should I wear? Or How should I wear my hair?

If you've been called in by a casting director who's seen your headshot (as opposed to an open call), try to look as much like your photo as possible. Don't send in a picture and then change your hair color and hairstyle.

Be professional and neat in appearance. An audition is very much like an interview. You don't want to wear anything that might be considered sloppy or inappropriate.

Make sure you're age appropriate. If you're auditioning for a Disney role, be sure to look fresh and youthful. If you're going after a more mature role, make sure your hair, makeup and outfit reflect that.

Be trendy and fashionable, but don't over do it. You don't want to show up in anything that will distract from your audition.

Make sure you're comfortable. You don't want to inhibit your ability to perform because you're insecure about what you're wearing, or because your feet hurt.

Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. So one of the most important things you'll need to wear is a winning, confident smile.

Check back tomorrow for tips on how to launch your career as a singer. If you have questions about any topics in my blog, or any other questions about the entertainment industry, feel free to submit them in the comments section and I'll be happy to address them.

Are You A Triple Threat?

Posted by Jonathan Parker , 02 October 2007 - 08:48 PM

We're gearing up for The Best Talent Awards which will take place this November in Los Angeles. We had so many talented participants last year and over 40% of them were hired for work! While I was blown away by how many really great actors, dancers, singers and models there were – I was really impressed to see how many people were multi-talented and had mastered more than one craft.

In the entertainment industry, a "triple threat" refers to someone who can act, dance and sing well. Take the cast of High School Musical for example. It's a high energy production with an incredibly talented cast, many of whom had to act, dance and sing to land their roles.

While it's great to be a really good actor or a really great singer, you never know when the role of a lifetime will call for you to have more than one skill. It's important when you're preparing for a career in the entertainment industry that you are versatile and well-rounded. Learning to do several things rather than mastering just one skill can greatly increase your chances of booking really great roles.

Many actors have a "Special Skills" category on their resume. While singing and dancing can be listed here, you can also include languages, dialects, sports, instruments, stunts or any other special skills you may have that make you unique. Having lots of talents can be really helpful when you're going after a role.

Often people are tempted to fudge this section of the resume, but this is a big DON'T. Instead, take advantage of classes or training in your area to pick up additional skills that will make you more marketable.

We have lots of classes listed on the Star Search Casting website that you can check out. I think you'll find that classes can be lots of fun and a great way to meet and network with others in the industry.

Be sure to check in tomorrow to learn more about how to look the part when you go on an audition!

Turn Your New Role Into Representation

Posted by Jonathan Parker , 29 September 2007 - 05:30 PM

Guess what! I've got some really exciting news to report. We've done the math and you won't believe how many members on our site have been contacted by casting directors and agents.

381,373 members were contacted in the last year
22,164 members were contacted in the last 30 days
7,074 members were contacted in the last 7 days

And our members shared some really great success stories. I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate everyone who got an audition or booked a job this past month! I'm really happy for you guys. Please keep sharing your success stories. They truly make my day!

Now on to today's blog…

So you've been scouring the internet and industry publications for auditions and it's finally paid off! Congratulations! But guess what? You've still got work to do. Your hard work has landed you a job, but now's the time to leverage your new role and get representation.

Whether you'll be featured in a live stage, television or film production, it's important to get the word out to the people who can help you take your career to even greater heights. Now's the time to let agents and managers know that you're a bankable talent and you're ready to take the industry by storm.

How do you do this? It's actually quite easy. Most people send mass mailings to agents and managers when they are looking for representation. You can apply the same principle when you've landed a role. Sending a simple postcard to announce your new role to agents and managers can greatly improve your odds of getting representation, compared to simply sending a headshot and a cover letter that may or may not be opened or given substantial consideration.

The front of the postcard should be a full color headshot with your name and the role you're appearing in. On the back, you can include more information about yourself and about your new role. Be sure the info is short and concise and that your photo is engaging. If it's a live performance, invite the agent or manager to attend. If it's a television or film role, invite them to tune in or check it out.

Be advised that the manager or agent will probably not come to your live performance. However, what's most important is that they 1) See your face, and identify you as someone they may want to work with, 2) See that you're able to book work, and that a relationship with you could be a profitable one and 3) Call you to schedule an appointment for you to come in and meet with them.

So what are you waiting for? Start sending out those postcards today! Not sure where to send your postcards? Visit our site today for a list of agents and managers in your area!

Remember to check back tomorrow for information on how networking can help to boost your career.

How To Land A Job In Hollywood Without An Agent (part 2)

Posted by Jonathan Parker , 28 September 2007 - 05:40 AM

One of the best parts about my job is hearing success stories from aspiring actors, singers, dancers and models whose hard work is paying off in the industry. Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear or read about someone who's finally getting a chance to go out on an audition, or someone who's booked really huge role.

If you read yesterday's blog, then you read all about Melina Rochelle and her new role in City Kid, the musical. Melina Rochelle is a singer and an actress and although she doesn't have an agent, she's been working hard and landing great opportunities in Hollywood. Yesterday she offered some really great tips that have helped her succeed in the industry. Here are a few more tips she had to share:

"Always be prepared. If you're a singer or an actor, always have a song or monologue that you can perform upon request. If you're a dancer, have something prepared that showcases what you do best. If you're a model, always have photos or composite cards on hand at all times."

"Don't wait around for someone to discover your talents. Showcase yourself. Whether it's through your own production or talent showcase, get yourself out there. My sisters and I started our own production company and produced a musical that was reviewed in the LA Weekly and nominated for several awards."

"And last but not least, be sure to use the internet to your advantage. You can find really great information and opportunities on the web to help you further your career."

Those are really great tips and I hope you find them to be useful. I also hope you'll visit our site for auditions and casting notices and keep me posted on your achievements in the industry. Just this past week over 7.000 members on our site were contacted by casting directors and other industry professionals. You can get the same results!

I hope you'll read my blog tomorrow when I share information about turning a new role into representation! Thanks for stopping by!

How To Land A Job Without An Agent (part 1)

Posted by Jonathan Parker , 27 September 2007 - 04:09 AM

Thousands of members on our site have booked exciting jobs in Hollywood without an agent. Often aspiring actors, models, singers and dancers think they don't have a shot at making their dreams come true because they don't have an agent. But this couldn't be further from the truth. There are tons of opportunities available to you, even if you don't have representation. Don't let lack of an agent or manager stand in your way.

Melina Rochelle, a singer and actress living in Los Angeles, knows all about the challenges of looking for work without an agent. "I was worried that because I didn't have an agent, I wouldn't be able to audition for roles that I really wanted. Initially I was discouraged but I didn't let it stop me." Instead, she began doing her own research and was able to find lots of opportunities. And in no time she was landing great jobs.

This fall she will appear in the musical City Kid at the Hudson Theatre in Los Angeles in the role of Niki. "I'm so excited! It's a great role and I get to showcase my singing and my acting in a really great show." When asked how she's managed to get such great opportunities without an agent or manager, Melina Rochelle offered this advice:

"Just because you don't have an agent doesn't mean you can't submit yourself. Do your research. There are lots of resources that list opportunities that you can submit yourself for without the assistance of representation."

"Make and keep in touch with contacts in the business. It's a lot about who you know. There are lots of ways to meet people, for example taking classes to meet other actors, singers, dancers or models."

Follow these tips from Melina Rochelle to help you get your career off the ground today! Need information on auditions, acting classes or other opportunities? Check out our site to access valuable resources you'll need to help get your career off the ground.

And don't forget to check out my blog tomorrow for more tips from Melina Rochelle on how to land a job in Hollywood without an agent!

Welcome To My Blog!

Posted by , 23 January 2005 - 06:11 PM

Hi there, and welcome to my blog.

I'm so excited to have this opportunity to share my expertise and experience with you. Since 1998, I've been committed to using the internet to give aspiring actors, dancers, models and singers access to the resources they need to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

As the Founder and CEO of Star Search Casting, I have developed the most sophisticated and comprehensive casting site on the web. Members of Star Search Casting have been signed to major agencies and landed roles in major network television shows and blockbuster hits. Additionally, members have found incredible opportunities in modeling, recording arts and more!

I've been in this business for many years and I'm often asked for advice on a variety of topics and issues that aspiring actors, dancers, models and singers face. And I'm always delighted to deliver an informed answer. So I decided to create a blog to help address many of the questions budding stars often have.

I hope you find this blog informative and useful. You can also check out my website, www.starsearchcasting.com for additional information and resources like auditions, agent contact information, message boards and more.

I look forward to answering your questions and helping you reach your goals in the entertainment industry.

Committed to Your Success,

Jonathan Parker
Star Search Casting, Inc.
