Open Casting Calls
Open casting calls are the most useful tools for those who are feeling capable that they can make an immediate impact upon their acting careers, but aren’t well-enough known to get invited to usual castings.
They might also prove to be an opportunity to score your name into a big production even with an almost insignificant role – it’s still a thing to boast over and usually gets you good pay when compared to the amount of work you have to do.
And even if you don’t manage to grab the jobs, you’ll at least get acquainted with directors and get to know what they appreciate – making you have better chances of success with every casting you attend.
Firstly, to make sure we’re on the same terms – open casting calls are the types of casting that can be attended by anyone. That’s right, it doesn’t matter if you’re a physics teacher from a town in Chicago or a ski instructor from Michigan; everyone can give it a try and hope for the best.
This seems like more competition at a first glance, but think of it this way: the overall quality of casting attendants will be lower, and this means that you have more chances of sticking out from the crowd if you have the talent.
