Casting Call Tips

There’s a basic application process behind getting into a casting call. Keep it simple unless you are asked for a package. If asked, your mail-in package should be simple as well: just a headshot, cover letter, and resume. Make sure to put your name on your headshot, so the casting director is not forced to flip through pages to remember your name. The cover letter should be brief. Introduce yourself, highlight apart of your resume, and give them a reason to see you. You can always try to send something crazy to seem creative, but they might just remember the crazy part and forget all about the creative. It’s best to stay professional. You don't want to be remembered for being crazy. You want to be remembered for talent.
