Casting Calls, Lists
Dr. Diane Howard
Always be careful in working with talent and casting agencies. Don't give money or credit card
numbers up-front. Do not pay to meet, read, or
audition. If you believe that you have been the victim of a scam, you can
file a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/. The State Attorney General should also be notified. Mastercard has free
information on Scams and Flim-Flams at 1-800-999-5156. A watchdog group at www.fraud.org/internet/intset.htm also
keeps track of several illegal money-making schemes.
The Better
Business Bureau advises caution when dealing with talent/modeling agencies.
See http://www.license.state.tx.us/databases.htm
for
Legitimate, Licensed Talent Agencies
in TX. Also see www.DoNotPay.org.
See http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/model.ht
for information on modeling and talent scams. To search for the license of a Texas
Talent &/or Modeling Agency, see http://www.license.state.tx.us/LicenseSearch/.
From Dan Eggleston, Austin, TX- ...Please remind everyone that it is
ILLEGAL to charge someone for audition information or to
obtain a booking...Companies like this one will tell you that they are charging you for
your "web presence." Don't fall for this!!!
From Ken Farmer's PAG Notes, 2/07- ...When you go in for an
audition, there is usually a slot on the sign-in sheet asking for your
social security number. Do not, I repeat, do not, that's NOT, N-O-T, write down
your social security number on that sheet!!!
By law, only your employer or a governmental agency has the right to see your
SS# and you aren't hired yet...
Warning from Dan Eggleston-
If you come across something like this, the odds are likely 100% that it's a
scam.
Here's their "pitch." You will have instant access to amazing casting calls
with parts that are right for you - parts you can
apply to right away so you can get started immediately. You will get your own
unique Talent Profile, including
photo, so I can find parts that are right for you, and others can spot your star
potential.
You will be eligible to participate in our Superstar Talent Search, where you
can win incredible prizes
like a personal consultation with a Casting Director. You can access this all on
the Web any time you
like or you can even choose to have parts sent to you! If you are ready to be
discovered, there is simply no
easier way to get started. And it is absolutely free. A credit card is required
to ascertain your interest,
and will never be charged unless you choose to continue the service beyond the
Absolutely Free
period. You have my Iron-Clad 100% Guarantee. As your virtual casting agent, I
am in a fantastic
position to help you launch a career in show business. What's better, I can do
it right now, Absolutely Free,
if you respond immediately by accepting my invitation here. 10/03/07
Working as Extras in TX Television Series:
You can apply
as an extra for Friday Night Lights
by posting a headshot and resume on
http://www.onlocationcasting.net/.
If
you are interested in applying to be an extra for the television series
Prison Break, please mail a non-returnable photo of yourself with
your contact information on the back of the photo to Extras Casting at the
following address:
Extras Casting Call
Attn: "Prison Break"
P.O. Box 703282
Dallas, TX 75370
No Phone Calls
If you do not
yet have an agent, you might consider experiencing being on a television set
by being an extra.
It is best to work as an extra on small scenes, in which you might be
noticed and featured. You should not list
being an extra on your talent resume. If you are a featured extra, then you
can list the role you played on your resume.
A featured extra is visible and recognizable, not just one of a crowd.

Friendly, professional discussion for everyone interested in NC filmmaking, whether as a
1st Assistant Director, an animal wrangler, editor, sound mixer, key grip, screenwriter,
independent producer, casting director, or anyone else. Filmmaking analysis, job
announcements, funny stories, and everything in between are welcome! Please
keep conversation related to filmmaking and production/ crew/ development/etc related
issues.
Actors (and casting/talent agents) may be more interested in joining our related list,
NCactors. This list (ncfilm) is for filmmaking
professionals behind the scenes, not in front of the camera. After joining us, please tell
us about your filmmaking background!

First, the basics: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE. Resumé and audition info are REQUIRED with
subscriptions. Audition information will be posted here, as will other announcements of
interest to actors in North Carolina. Chat is welcome on the related ncactors list, but
not here. All subscribers to this list (and ncactors) are REQUIRED to do their share of
"legwork." That means checking your area newspaper or certain webpages
for casting information, and POSTING it via email to this list. This list is primarily for
adult professional actors. Teen and child actors are welcome to start their
own lists. When requesting a subscription, please send the list members a brief summary of
your interest and background in acting AND send us a list of sources you intend to check
for audition information every month. For example - local newspapers or audition websites
such as www.backstage.com.
If more than a month goes by after your subscription starts and we have not received your
audition information, we will assume you are not interested in a professional acting list.
We're always interested in more moderators, so please let us know if
you'd like to help with the "paperwork." If you subscrie from outside North
Carolina, please post film and
television audition information anyway. As professional actors, we all must be resourceful
and well-accustomed to the idea of looking for auditions. Don't expect other people to do
your work for you, or you won't get very far!
We're friendly, but professional, too. We realize this welcome message may be a bit
overwhelming, but we
promise this is a friendly place! So, save this message, and then send us your intro!
Don't forget
about audition sources! (If you can't find current auditions, at least tell us where
you're going to look!)

Southeastern States
Category: Acting
Actors Southeast is a place where we can share audition information, chat
about technique, and relax.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SUBSCRIBE.
First, EVERYONE is required to share audition information. You are expected to introduce
yourself and describe your acting experience when you join. If it is obvious
you are not professional, you will be removed from the list.
The casting information will only be of interest to actors in the Southeastern United
States (generally, from Virginia to Florida.)
Of course, casting directors and agents and other industry folks are welcome to post
announcements about casting. The only real rules here are... No flames. Be
professional. And you MUST post audition information once a month. We *will* and *do*
remove people who don't do this. As actors we must be resourceful and professional --
never expect a free ride. Finally, PLEASE DO NOT BEG ANYONE on this list for acting
work!
Audition information will be posted here, as will other announcements of interest to
actors in the Southeast. Chat is
welcome. All subscribers to this list are required to do their share of
"legwork." That means volunteering to check your area newspaper (Southeast U.S.)
or certain webpages for auditions and casting info to SHARE with the rest of us.
To subscribe, please send a brief description of your interests and background in acting
and what audition sources you can check on a regular basis.
THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL - YOU WILL UNSUBSCRIBED IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS.
Send your bio and source info to all of the list members
