First and foremost an actor’s job is to audition; booking the job is the icing on top. It’s helpful to adjust your audition perspective, to remember that you’re not auditioning for the job, but are actually auditioning to “win the room” and get the next audition. But first, you need to actually find auditions.
Many of our students ask for help and for audition sites to help guide them; we’re happy to steer you in the right direction. Check out these sites to find current audition information, as well as other great theatre resources.
Create a list of theatres that you’d like to audition for. Theatres that you have attended at least once or twice. Is your training and experience similar to the actors you see on stage? Does the type of work you see on stage inspire you? If so, send the casting director or artistic director a headshot/resume/cover letter letting them know that you’d like to be considered for upcoming auditions. Be proactive, do your research, go to theatre and keep your ear to the ground!
