Tips
Follow each casting office’s instructions exactly. Some casting directors accept direct submissions, some don’t.
Remember, they are not agencies. They won’t represent you.
Keep your headshot and resume updated
Don’t mass email—be intentional and professional
Check back regularly for updates and casting calls
Look for casting director workshops at acting schools like The Green Room Studio, where I teach, or Vagabond School of the Arts, The Acting Studio Chicago, and others.
