Question
Hi. What website or method do you suggest using to get into background acting? I live in Georgia, and I know a lot is filmed in Atlanta, I just don't know the right way and how to contact casting departments to send the my resume to them. Any informaton is thanked!
Jenna, Try extracasting.blogspot.com and I would suppose that there is an Extra Casting Agency in Atlanta. Try a web search for "Extra Casting Agencies in Atlanta" and see what you find. Extra casting is by look and availability only, you will only need a head shot or a snapshot that clearly shows what you look like. An agency will have its own preferences. Best wishes and God bless, Doc
