How do you apply for auditions through the TV industies as an actor

No actor (unless freelance) can go anywhere without an agent. Read the post about where to from here. It aint so easy to walk off the street and get onto tv. Most actors on Tv are generally professional actors who have lots of experience and training. Their agent represents themt o potential employers in this respect. Thats waht an agent does (a reputable one) they tout the collective talent and experience of their clients. How much experience do you have kerry. Have you trained in any respect, appeared on short films, non-professional theatre? It is very rare for any performer to be sent to auditions for actual drama and acting work aside from TVC's without a showreel and extensive experience. I personally cant understand how some people may think you can walk off the street onto a set and be an actor. The same does not apply to the legal or health professions. So why should it be the same with acting. Very few actors are naturally talented, because the effects of living in a society such as ours have to be undone. Thats generally what acting training is about. That and technique. So you need to see yourself possibly attending castings for such shows in the long term. Right now you need to focus on getting what is required. No agent will ususally take you on without a showreel and those that represent actors usually require decent training. Focus on those. If you have that, then get out there and while your waiting for responses from agents get into short film, TVC's and theatre. Everything always extends you, something new is always learnt. Paul.
