an open casting call is an audition that pretty much anybody can submit to a casting call is an audition and usually there are some kind of requirements like you have to be between a certain age range live in a certain location and submit a performance of yours like a monologue or a scene that you film at home via a self tape audition i'll talk about that in a sec these are done by production companies networks like netflix disney theaters pretty much anybody that's looking for a lot of actors they just want to see whoever sends in an audition and then pick from that pool of actors in the future i have been able to see two different kinds of open casting calls one where they're looking for a very specific actor the other where they just want to find new actors a new pool of actors like these recent csa open casting calls sometimes these open calls can be for a local theater and maybe 25 people will submit you will have a better chance you'll be one in 25 but like the recent csa open casting call over 4 000 people submitted what are the odds that you're gonna get cast through an open casting call and should you just stop acting if you don't get cast via an open call a lot of actors both experience and inexperience will submit to open casting calls especially if they're really popular ones like the disney open casting calls or the netflix reality show casting calls they are expecting beginner actors to submit that have some raw talent are able to be vulnerable on camera but even if this is you i highly encourage you to look into some training so you can really hone your acting skills you should not quit acting because it you just might not be who they're looking for most if not all open casting calls are going to require you to do a self tape audition and i have a ton of videos on that but i'm going to give you a 30 second recap by default film landscape slash horizontally film vertically or portrait if specifically ask for have a blank backdrop this is what your framing should look like turn off all notifications and vibrations for lighting you can film in front of a window not in front of a window no experience take your time memorize the script play with it and have fun most importantly follow the directions and please read them at least three times before filming take notes if you need it don't give fancy in your editing unless they want it some of these open casting calls are annual so mark your calendar and check back on their websites and definitely follow them on social media when will you hear back about this audition likely never but that's okay most auditions you don't hear back unless you get booked and for big open casting calls where they're pulling from actors for different projects they will likely get back to you this week in three years or never and it's absolutely fine also most of these will not confirm they got your submission so the only thing you can do is submit it and then forget it and at the end of every video i feature another channel this is ricarda she makes vlogs makeup and lifestyle videos and here's a playlist on past open casting calls such as disney look at nickelodeon netflix and freeform
