How to Prepare for an Audition
Casting directors are hired by producers who work on television shows, commercials and films. They also work for talent agencies that represent actors, singers, dancers and other entertainers with the duty to find the most suitable talents for each part. A casting director’s job is to fill the specific roles in a production by finding the most suitable actors for each part.
All a casting director really want to see in an audition is capable and confident people that have come ready to show what they got. Professional actors as well as amateurs that just go for a supporting or background part might at times be stressed out about an audition. We are here to give you some helpful tips on how to be prepared.
What Are Casting Auditions?
Casting Auditions are actually quite different from an audition. The main purpose of a casting audition is to get the attention of a casting director and to be recalled for a future guest role, co-star role or lead role.

A casting call, on the other hand is an announcement of an open audition opportunity that is placed in online casting directories such as Backstage.com and TalentWorks.com where you can find notices for thousands of auditions each month by signing up to be notified of new jobs directly to your email inbox.
Both are great ways to get noticed by casting directors and producers so that you can build your acting resume and get cast in the next production!
When should you go to open calls and when should you go to casting calls?
The best rule of thumb is that if you’re looking for work in television or film in Los Angeles (or New York City, Atlanta or Chicago), then you’ll want to attend open calls which are held during the daytime at various studios around town.
