Some notes about my areas of future interest, but not present expertise.
COMMERCIALS:
- Take an on-camera workshop before you start auditioning
- Work in a casting office or at a commercial production company
INDUSTRIALS:
- Industrials come in many shapes and forms: a live performance at a corporate gathering, a video or audio presentation designed to educate a company's employees, an event connected with a product launch or promotion.
- teleprompter experience
- being comfortable with interacting with a number of different people is really helpful
- improv with the product you have
VOICE OVERS:
- killer demo reel
- "Secrets of Voice-Over Success" (Joan Baker)
- developing a relationship with a coach who actually works in the field can be a plus... what that does is it creates a demo reel that reflects what's happening now in voiceover on television
- Natural sound, unaffected read
PRINT/ MODELING:
- Depict relationships or attitudes toward a product
- real-looking people... delicious-looking people, but not so beautiful to be off-putting.
- Effective lighting, how to be comfortable in front of a camera, and what her best angles are.
- "go see": where dozens of similar types are interviewed and photos are taken that simulate the job or campaign.
- special skills jump start a conversation
- want to know the directors they've worked with and who has cast them
CABARET:
- Tara Rubin Casting... "We do attend new-songwriter showcases"
- four or five people putting together a showcase often has more appeal for "casting directors, who are always very busy." and CD's are "far more accessible than agents"
