Open call agency audition?

It's not exactly an audition. But it's just easier to review talent that way I would guess. However- I have been scammed before and I am well-aware of scams now- and know that


agents should NEVER ask for money and should only


take 10% of your acting income. This agency seems normal,


and there isn't anything about scams on it- I also have heard it is a good agency. Should I bring my resume? It only has in school expierence and some outter classes ive taken and only about 3 small plays! Is it okay if I just bring digital photos instead of professional? What exactly should I do? I've been to a scam only casting call. .so I know what those are like but this one is for real! help! oh, and also can I wear nice black skinny jeans instead of casual black pants? if I wear them with a nice shirt? and shoes? thanks so much!

don't go for it. if an agency needs fresh meat they won't advertise. if they're such a good agency then they shouldn't need to advertise at all. don't trust them because they'll say that you need to go on a big trip to some other state and pay 5000 for the trip where there will be hundreds of "agents" if you could get the name i could give you more info
Reply:Open call (a.k.a. cattle calls) are long shots in the business. In many cases, when a studio called for this, they are low in budget, can't afford a union actor and may have alternative motives for this.





I find the best in with the business is working small independant troupes and eventually getting a union card.





If you still want to go, dress conservative and sharp. Any producer worth it will get your attention. If you dress like a slut, you might as well start doing porn now.
