If you’re waiting to be cast for the
perfect part that will launch your
Oscar-winning career, keep dreaming.
And that whooshing sound you’ll hear
will be the other actors passing you
by. Talent agents help, and blind luck
is golden, but to really find work, it
is up to you. Remember: You are your
best marketer!
Send 5 headshots per day!
Plan on sending at
least 5 headshots per day to talent
agents, casting
directors and other relevant parties.
If you don’t have enough for mailing
costs, send 1-2. It may not land you
an audition right
away, but persistence always pays with
time.
Send your headshots to whoever will
see them!
How many times have you
seen the same product advertised in
magazines, billboards and on countless
television commercials?

The
reason is because spreading the word
is effective marketing. You must do
the same. The more they see you, the
better your chances.
Be a guerilla!
Guerilla, in marketing
terms, is a low-cost, hard-hustling
marketing effort. You don’t need a lot
of money to attend industry functions
or go to
acting clubs and
organizations. Get out there! Be a
guerilla!
Network with other actors!
Due to the competitive
nature of
acting, networking with
actors of the same sex is generally
limited. However, many actors of the
same sex
are willing to help. And, of
course, networking with actors of the
opposite sex can really be effective
due to the exclusion of the
competition factor. Waiting to
audition is a great time to pass out
your headshot and network with other
actors.
