Boston Movie Extra

We have to all know that we are all lucky to be in this business in the first place. So obviously we get excited when we get called from a casting agency looking to book us for a gig. But when a casting director books you for let's say 3 days 2 weeks from now, you are booked with that agent. Do not double book with another agent if they want you for the same 3 days because "you would rather work on that project". You work on the one you committed on first and kindly say to the second agent"thank you but I am already booked those days, but please don't forget about me because I am interested." You will be respected and in this business it goes a long way, if you don't respect it that also goes a long way.

When it comes to marketing yourself as an actor I always say look for freebees! The best way to turn is websites like Facebook , Linked In, Myspace, I would say the best would be facebook. The reason why is because your networking and the tools that they offer are just great! Also there are many boston events that involve boston talent that are posted, so sign up today to all of them. Now when it comes to business cards with your picture on it etc. Well it's good to give to other actors just to keep in touch, but when it comes to casting directors the only place they go is in the trash. To my union brothers and sisters get yourself on IACTOR!!!! I am amazed that some of you are not on that service, go to www.sag.org and join right now!!!
