A
Challenge for the Actor
 Theoretically,
the actor ought to be more sound in mind and body than other people,
since he learns to understand the psychological problems of human
beings when putting his own passions, his loves, fears, and rages
to work in the service of the characters he plays. He will learn
to face himself, to hide nothing from himself -- and to do so
takes insatiable curiosity about the human condition--from the

Headshots & Casting Databases
|
|
So,
do you want your own web site? Confused about what to do
next? The facts: This whole concept of on-line casting is
still in its infant stages. Most film, MOW & episodic
TV CDs do not regularly use computers to access casting
databases, mainly because it is still not faster & more
efficient for them to do business this way yet. If you're
in some part of the country other than LA or NY, I don't
know that it matters where your photo is as long as you aggressively
promote your own site. You should ask the site providers
about what their daily traffic is, but just because a site
gets more "hits" isn't
a reason to choose them. You really need to know if the
hits are by "qualified"
users, meaning people actually in a position to hire you for
something, rather than random web surfers coming by. I don't
know if companies take these statistics, but if they don't,
they should, and you may as well ask. At this point, I recommend
paying to have your headshot anywhere, when free options exist,
but if you're not a web guru, a small design fee isn't a problem,
and a hosting fee for a site that dighittizes and hosts your
acting reel is reasonable also. Just promote yourself as aggressively
as you can afford to, remembering, however, that pictures and
acting class money shouldn't be sacrificed in the name of something
experimental. On that note...here are some options for where
you can create an online presence--all with different prices,
different features, different user demographics, but all sharing
the goal of giving wider exposure to actors. |
