Get started in showbiz by becoming a movie extra for fun or to start your acting career. Learn about the casting process and what you can do to get your
foot in the door and start working in the movies.
Most filmmakers are constantly seeking movie extras and background actors to fill their shots and add realism to their films, TV shows and commercials.
If you want to become a movie extra, all you have to do is let them know you are willing and available to work. You could contact casting directors,
talent agents, talent scouts, and producers on your own, but that would probably take a lot more time and effort than it is worth. A simple way to let
filmmakers know you are out there is to sign up with Actingland.
To begin, you'll need to register and create one or more personal profiles. Personal profiles are online biographies that list your description, contact
information, skills, and abilities. Along with your profile, you can attach a resume, multiple photographs or your professional headshot, and even personal
video clips or your acting demo reel.
Casting directors, talent agents, talent scouts, producers and directors may then be able to locate your profile using an advanced search engine. If a
casting director or talent agent is looking for someone like you or for actors available in or around your home town, they could find your profile within
their search results. Once they have located your profile, they can then contact you directly with further details and audition information. In this way,
with very minimal effort on your part, you can make yourself known to literally thousands of filmmakers world wide.
In addition to being able to post your personal profile online for industry professionals to find when searching for actors, extras, and other talent,
Actingland also provides casting calls and auditions. As a member, you'll receive unrestricted and unlimited access to the hundreds of casting notices
available. Plus, you'll have at your fingertips the best tools, tips, and helpful hints to making a career out of acting. Great articles and acting guides
can teach you what you need to know to be a successful working actor or movie extra. Guides for beginning actors will explain how to get your foot in the
door, find acting jobs and get your career off the ground.
Plus, you've probably heard the old adage about showbiz - "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Unfortunately, this is very true - possibly more so
today than ever before. It is simply not possible to do it alone. Networking is a vital part of the acting career pursuit. You need to build and maintain
strong working relationships with your peers. This is why Actingland provides career networking tools. We make networking and communicating with your
friends and fellow actors easy and convenient. Just like other social networking web sites, you can easily add members with similar interests and values
to your friends lists. Use your connections to communicate and share experiences, advice and acting tips or offer help, suggestions and moral support to
members like yourself.
After you have worked a few acting jobs, you'll realize that our job planning and tracking tools will keep you organized and on the right path to success.
It is nearly impossible to reach your full acting potential if you don't keep accurate records of your submissions, auditions and callbacks. Acting success
and success in show business in general, takes both talent and organization. You supply the talent and we will provide the tools to keep you organized and
help you track your submission and audition results.
Whether you are seeking just a day of fun up close to movie stars and celebrities on an exciting film location or a way to jump into showbiz and launch your
acting career, Actingland can help you realize your dreams.
Sign up today and you could be an extra in a future Hollywood blockbuster or even on your way to becoming the next break-out movie star. If you are ready
to begin a career in the spotlight, register now and get acting!
