Submitting for an acting role whether as a lead, speaking role, background actor or set extra is very similar to submitting music to labels and publications. However, you must present yourself even more professionally. In case you missed that… you must present yourself professionally.

A few tips for landing a role in film or television:

Get Professional “headshot” photos made. Get some full-body shots, too.

Always be respectful of the inbox. Be certain you are mailing the right person at the right address. A Universal picture will not accept your reel at their main e-box. Email Once. If no one gets back to you, you don’t fit the role. Apply for the next one, but don’t re-apply for the same gig, twice.

Include:

• 3 headshots and two body shots.
• Your information including age, hair, eye and skin color, weight, frame, jacket or dress size.
• List skills that may apply to the role – A mountain-climber’s role just might require that you know a bit about a harness, for example.
• All your contact info, phone, email, mailing address, agent’s info.

Never apply for roles you don’t fit. You wouldn’t sign up a jazz band for a metal festival would you?

Never falsify your info just to get a gig. You will be found out, and if you do somehow get the part claiming to be a race driver, but then you flip a car… well you get it…
