Finding work can be tricky for actors and actresses who don't have an agent. It can be a gradual process, and involve a lot of networking, but it can be done. Casting Call Club is a hub for voice actors to gather and find work, but you'll have to do your fair share to land good roles. What's one way to get the attention of potential clients? Get some positive recommendations.
Steps
Have a full profile. Many clients like to know as much as possible about their candidates before they make a decision when casting.
Behave professionally. Follow all instructions when auditioning, and respond to all constructive criticism with gratitude.
Always take time to express your thanks to clients who cast you. This is especially crucial if your role had a lot of competition.
Stay in contact with clients while you are working for them. Be able to respond to messages ASAP.
Record quality audio. You want your clients to have the very best that you can provide.
Turn in all lines before the deadline. This shows that you are prompt and efficient. Don't rush your recording, though! You don't want to turn in sloppily made audio.
Remain dedicated to long-term projects. You will leave a bad taste in the mouths of clients if you have to leave projects, especially if you say that dedication is not a problem.
Always re-do lines if your client isn't 100% satisfied with them. Only mark your role as Complete once the client has assured you that your lines are what they are looking for.
Be active on the site. Nobody will bother giving a recommendation to a user who only gets on every other month.
Be courteous. Always speak kindly to other users, whether they are clients or other actors. Treat everyone with respect, and respect will be reflected back. Eventually, other users will recognize your exemplary behavior and leave you with a recommendation of their experience working with you.Advertisement
