Backstage

Good resource for actors looking for casting in NYC: Backstage Magazine.  There is an entire spread (about 10 pages or so) in every magazine that gives you every New York City casting opportunity: which characters they are looking for, a synopsis on the play/film, how much you will be paid, when it will begin, and how to contact them for an audition. This is a GREAT resource for actors! The magazine is geared towards actors so there are many helpful and interesting articles as well. Hope this helps!

Tips!

Actors:

- Be 100% off book when you come in to an audition.  Even if you don't get the part, this is usually noted down and filed away with your name. It is is such a positive thing to have associated with your name on file!

-Some casting directors LOVE props, some HATE them. I would practice both ways and ask at the audition if they prefer one or the other. Some casting directors get really excited if you use one. Other's will just say, no thanks, and no harm, no foul.

-Be early to your audition. This is your chance to make a good impression and being early says you are responsible and prepared.

-Be a human.  Don't give answers you think will be right. Be a person and give truthful answers.  YOU are way more interesting.
