Think Like a Casting Director When it Comes to Your Actor Résumé

Crafting an impressive résumé isn’t necessarily about listing everything you've ever done. While you might think the long list shows off your versatility and ability to work in a variety of genres, it could also mean you’re missing the eye of the casting director because you’re not showing t...

✨️Tip Tuesday✨️ Remember to do your RESEARCH! 🔍️⁠
⁠
I've said it before, but I will keep saying it...😂 This is so, so important! There is nothing worse for a client than hearing a name, a product or a brand be mispronounced. ⁠
⁠
If there is anything in your script, the instructions or the breakdown that you don't understand - either look it up, or ask your agent! 👌⁠
⁠
I know sometimes there aren't a lot of details released with a commercial audition - so do your best. Gather as much information as you can, and make your best educated decisions based on what you know! ✅️⁠
⁠
If it's a union commercial, this is slightly different. You WILL know the brand and the product. So in this case, be sure to do your research! For example, if it's a Koodo commercial, and you're auditioning to play a representative of the brand, look at past commercials! What do the representatives wear - what colours, what kind of 'vibe' do they have? Then you can do your best to look and feel the part!⁠
⁠
All of your research will help information how you approach your audition. It's time well spent - and will pay dividends! I am always impressed when I can see an actor has done their research 🤗⁠

Any questions? Leave them for me below! ⁠
⁠
Happy auditioning! ⁠
