Four Ways to Find Auditions Without an Agent | How to Find Auditions Online (some for free)

In this video, I'll show you how to find auditions without an agent. And even after you do get an agent, you can continue to use these methods to get even more auditions than what your agent will be sending you. We will cover three ways to get auditions (some for free) online using websites and social media and one way to get on the casting director's radar through workshops and classes.

Hi , I have a question , If someone wants to go for audition for Nickelodeon shows , do they have chances to be chosen , and what we got to do if we want to be chosen

[@kaiantonx]

I want to do my theatre class first so I can improve on my bad spots and so I can have better experience. Then I'd start my acting career

[@ActingCareerCenter]

@@user-my7hg3eq5z You can watch this video on what your chances are to book your audition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3nbnIGsadVkY9U

[@dakotayork4233]

In all honesty, I would love more than anything to be featured in a major motion picture on the big screen. That’s because when you watch these films in a movie theater, it’s a full experience: the score, the larger than life sound, and then to think that you could work your butt off to pour your absolute best into a movie and then take a step back and enjoy your work, that sounds so fulfilling to me😊 P.S. I just watched Black Widow today and you did a fantastic job, major props man!

The best way to improve your acting skills is by attending an acting class and learning from a coach. Many acting classes are online via zoom now.

Any tips on how you can sell yourself via emails with no acting experience? I'm just starting my acting journey, and I've been doing an acting workshop class near me, since September, but would also like to get experience through Facebook groups and casting agencies but not really sure how to sell myself as a valid candidate for the roles they're looking for.

[@gkull.4043]

i’m a 15 year old guy from around the bay area. i really wanna get into acting and i wanna start small, but grab every opportunity i can get. i have no acting experience, but i wanna get into it. (also, i don’t know if this is relevant, but i’ve been doing online school for the past year or so, so there’s no school clubs open to me)

[@CleeraNeshay]

My mind was actually blown when said Kansas City lol😂

[@dominickcritelli5631]

Never had any luck with Facebook groups. Too many amateurs making promises and not following through or asking way too much of you for nothing in return. If any of those projects did pan out, the experience I got out of it was of such low quality that it didn't translate into how real productions work. If you're going that route- you're better off finding friends and making projects on your own just to get used to being in front of and around the camera. Actors Access is the only site I have ever gotten auditions or booked any real work from without having an agent. Training in a decent class and doing workshops is the best advice here from my experience. One of the only benefits of the post-covid world is access to better teachers online since most in-person classes have been forced to shut down.

[@ktoth29]

I completely agree with all of the above.

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Absolutely agree that there are many amateurs in Facebook groups. Every once in a while I've seen legitimate projects posted in those groups. Here in Atlanta, I've seen some local casting directors post in a FB group to announce that they have just put a new project up on Actors Access.

[@royal-ramirez2749]

Would you have to switch agents or move to some place else once you feel like you’ve made enough money and or credits on your resume to pursue a larger marketing area such as l.a.

Hey, do you have any recommendations on online audition sites , where you can audition from home?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

if you are in the US or Canada, the most common casting websites are Actors Access, Backstage, and Casting Networks

[@juliuszwiszniowski4479]

I ve got a question what If i live in a town (around 180 000 habitants) but it is in Poland. And I am not really interested in auditions in my country, I would prefer for example in Great Britain or US but it is quite far away and I am a kid. What would you do in my place?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

I would say to focus on auditions in your country because that is where you live. If you want to audition for projects in the US or UK, you would have to move there before you could start.

[@tommylikes4511]

Can you get big auditions movies with these sites as well ?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Yes but very rarely. If you want to consistently get big auditions, you will almost always need an agent or a manager to get them for you.

[@JalissaMelendezyt]

thank you for this info but the websites you said are not free you have to pay to actually audition through there website, im just a little confused about this. would love If you could get back to me :)

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Yes, you're right. Sorry if that was misleading. Using facebook groups and following casting directors on social media is completely free. Actors Access and Casting Networks both allow you to browse the casting boards for free to find projects to audition for. But yes, they do require a payment to actually submit for the role. Backstage requires a subscription to browse and submit for roles although they do offer a free trial. If you are going to pay for a service, my opinion is that the annual subscription to Actors Access (currently $64), is the best value for the money. Not only do you get unlimited submissions and auditions, you also get access to Showfax, which provides audition sides for tons of current projects. Even if you aren't auditioning, that is a great resource to get practice audition sides.

If you want to audition for American movies, it's virtually impossible to do while living in another country. You would most likely need to move to the US before you can start an acting career in American movies.

So I followed step #1. I found the "Talent Management for Actors" and was wondering if I could join them. It says they allow actors, talent agents, etc., and how they have real people in Hollywood helping you. It's a private FB group, and I was wondering if I could join even if it do not have an agent and have only been in one short film. What do you think?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

That is a great facebook group. I recommend you join it. I am in that group as well.

[@vashnavimanivelusethi6961]

If I live in overseas....is there any way to get an opportunity and did they help us to come where the audition is held on?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

This is more of a legal issue than anything else. In the US, for example, in order to work here in any capacity (including acting), someone would need to be a US citizen, permanent resident, or have a work visa. So it's unlikely that someone from overseas would get an audition unless the fall into one of those categories
