Your Questions

I often get emails from actors or parents of child actors asking for advice and it's difficult to respond to every one of them... So here's your chance.  Feel free to submit a question on this page.   I'll answer them as they come in and update this page regularly...so check back often.

QUESTIONS

How do I get listed with your casting company?
As with most casting companies, we don't keep a data base of talent.  We review submissions for specific projects that come to us from agents or actors submitting themselves through Casting Networks (castingnetworks.com) and Breakdown Services (breakdownexpress.com).  We do, however, keep a list of 'favorites' on those websites.  If you don't already have an account with Casting Networks and Breakdown Services, I suggest you get one. 

How do I get into commercials?
There is no one set way to break into commercial acting.   If you aren't already,  start taking on-camera acting classes.  While you work on honing your skills, make connections with the other actors in your class.  They can often be a great resource in finding out about auditions.  Ultimately you need to get an agent but you can submit yourself on a limited number of projects using websites like Casting Networks or Breakdown Services.  A common way that newbies get hired is through their special skills... so if you have a marketable skill like skateboarding, playing a musical instrument, speaking a foreign language or anything that you do well, make sure to have that clearly listed on your resume under 'Skills'.  You never know how that might help.  There's a great book that Terry Berland, a Casting Director friend of my wrote called Breaking Into Commercials.  Pick it up.  It's filled with great stuff!
