Succeeding at a Casting Call

Everything that is wrong with your life and everything that is right with your life is all your fault. Nobody can take anything from you. You either have it or you don't.

Likewise, you’re the only one who can make yourself look good in a casting call, so be proactive. Take note of the following advice:
Show up on time.
Be prepared for any readings that you have to do. The best way to prepare for that is to cold read newspaper articles or magazine articles.
Be very respectful to all of the people that you interact with, even other actors. A fellow actor could refer you later on. Show that you can work professionally with the casting director and anyone else attached to the production.
Follow up with an email or postcard or another small type of connection the next day.
