Auditions: Wednesday, March 02, 2011

This page contains auditions posted on Wednesday, March 02, 2011.

The discussions have been at a minimum this week, and I'm hoping this is because we are all busy auditioning and booking work.

I noticed that one of the casting calls being posted today is for today, which is another last minute call, and a challenge we have recently discussed. There was some good input as to why this may happen, so feel free to look through previous chats for this information, and feel free to review the topics of discussion mentioned in blog posts earlier this week.

If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.

Thanks.

future employment.
