Casting
directors are those who can turn your dream into reality. It is your duty to
make a good relationship with them. If you never had a contact with them it is
advisable to attend Casting workshops.
Many of the agencies are organizing workshops for your shake.
They
mainly focus on how you can make relationship with the directors. It is not
that much of difficult. Just attend the workshops and try to make a contact
with casting director workshops.
Later you can send them your resume and headshots with a cover letter
introducing yourself. They usually keep these resumes and head shots and when
they have a requirement for a role that better suits to your profile they may
consider you for the role.
This
is all about how many people you know in the film industry.
You will have more
opportunities if you will meet more people. It will not just about the number
of people you know, you will be benefitted actually if a number of people related
to casting industry know you. It is all about the people know you relating to
the particular industry. But you can’t get all with one meeting or nobody can
be able to know you in one meeting. So you will only be benefited if you attend
more and more workshops those are conducting now a days to increase your
contacts with casting directors.

you really wanted to be successful in this industry, make a list of some
directors of your choice and try to make contact with them regularly. Don’t
forget to keep the list of some television shows that requires co artists or
artists for guest appearance in regular intervals.
Try
to register your name for some workshops. Try in all the possible ways to
attend the workshops and it is most important for you if your target persons
are one of the parts of that workshop. Try to attend the workshops of the same people
again and again.
In this way you will be remembered by them easily. Don’t
forget to appreciate the thing which you like the most in that workshop and
send thank you note at the end of the workshop. It would be better if you can
send a postcard update in every month to your target group.
You
need not to be worry about the workshops at all. Because many companies are
there who are organizing the casting workshops
regularly where you can be able to meet the directors. You can be assigned a
scene to practice with a partner. You will go for a practice and after some
time they will take your audition. The directors usually comment on your
performance and your headshots.
