I've been asked several times regarding my acting/commercial gigs and how do I go about casting for them. One essential thing that has helped me was to create my own casting video (which usually agencies will do/require from you). So here is a breakdown of what it consists:
Basic Casting Video Requirements:
- Introduction: Name, Age, Height
- Hobbies
- Past Experiences
- Expressions: Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprised
- Profile Angles: 45°, 90° & 360°
Creating my own casting video has not only allowed me to audit my own actions and acting but has been tremedously time-saving in sending my profiles to casting agencies.
Hope that helps any aspiring actors/actresses out there!
