Every registered member gets a full profile, up to fifty image uploads, his or her own personal url, unlimited YouTube video integration, audio upload, featured rotation on the TalentJug.com homepage, access to TalentJug.com’s resource directory, and many more. But among the most important feature of TalentJug.com is the list of casting calls and auditions which only members can access. This allows members to immediately know about any casting call or audition that they can go to.
However, getting that breakthrough part or role takes more than an amazing online profile and knowledge of every casting call and audition. Although there are very few people who get their big breaks without going to as many auditions, most will have to go to several before getting the job that will make them popular. Because of this, it is important to prepare before going to casting calls. Below are some tips to help you succeed in getting that dream role.
· Be Punctual. Being late for a casting call is one of the worst things you can do. It gives a very negative first impression if you cannot even get to a casting call on time. Many casting directors will think that you will exhibit the same behavior if they decide to get you and that is something they do not want. In fact, arriving ten to fifteen minutes earlier will not only earn you good points, it will also give you time to relax and de-stress.
· Be Professional. You are going to a casting call to apply for a job so show them that you deserve it. If you will be reading for a part, prepare for it in advance. Practice whatever particular skill that they might be looking for. Avoid making requests and complaining about anything.
· Be Prepared. Aside from practicing before you go to the auditions, make sure you bring copies of your resume and headshot. Find out if you need to come in any particular attire so you can comply.
· Be Confident. There may be a lot of hopefuls trying for the same part especially if it is an open casting call. However, one way to make yourself stand out is to by being confident. Think about your edge over the others and capitalize on it.
· Be Respectful. Good attitude is always preferred no matter what industry. Be gracious and respectful not just to the people in charge but also to the others who are also auditioning.
Unfortunately, you might have to go to many casting calls and auditions before you get the perfect part for you. Despite this, the site TalentJug.com together with the tips given above will help increase your chances of landing the perfect gig for you.
