This page contains auditions posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011.
It was mentioned this week that someone experienced a very inappropriate audition experience, and this is not common in Portland, but can happen in any city. There are red flags to look for when submitting your information for an audition. Never include your home address on a resume, as this puts personal information out to the public that could put you at risk. Always make sure that the audition is held at a public place, whether it be a coffee shop, business/office, library, or hotel conference room. Also, always let someone, a roommate, sibling, spouse, or parent know the address of your audition, and audition details for safety reasons.
I have been to auditions at people's homes, which is more common in smaller cities than in larger cities, but this can still be an unsafe environment. It is always okay to ask to bring a friend to an audition at someone's home. In the past, I have scheduled auditions, and when I plugged the address into google, I found that the audition is taking place at someone's home. I immediately contacted the casting director to let them know that I felt uncomfortable about auditioning at their home, and they have allowed me to bring a friend, or have arranged to meet me at a public place. A professional casting director would want you to feel comfortable auditioning for them.
Have you ever had a bad audition experience based on the location? Let's continue the discussion in the chat box below!
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.

Female Talent Needed - Mockumercial
Local director seeking 1 female to play the role of the wife in a self-produced mockumercial. Ages don't matter to me as much as chemistry and our ability to work together. Expect the shoot to take about a few hours. I'm planning to shoot anytime this weekend, depending on schedules. This is a non-paying gig but should be a good project to add to your reel.
Please reply to this posting with a photo and brief bio.
Thanks!

Looking for actor and actress for short film
I am putting together a short student film and looking for an actor and actress to play the lead roles. The film deals with a young couple (characters are roughly 20 years in age) wherein the boyfriend has been unfaithful, and chronicles the two while the boyfriend is writing a letter asking for forgiveness and the girl is writing a letter expressing her desire to break up simultaneously. No experience is necessary, good role for someone who wants to play thoughtful characters.

Low Budget Feature Length Film Seeks Actors & Actresses
Have you seen Christopher Nolan's Following? or Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise? If you love those kind of movies, dark, inspiring and full of emotion please continue to read on...
I am looking for actors & actresses for my new film I'm shooting, the film is a story about a young adults journey into darkness, investigating his friends death leads him into a world he never knew existed and at some point he becomes one of them.
THE ROLES:
Male, 19-26, Main Character, He's a quiet storm, talks with his facial emotions and affects with his words, he builds as the film progresses.
Male, 19-26, Supporting, He is the MC close lad, He's crazy, scary, have little respect for himself, but by the end he'll figure himself out (STRONG EMOTION NEEDED)
Woman, 19-26, Supporting, She is not a love interest, but a deceiver.
To sum everything up this film is something different, The look, the music, the story, it's a view of someone's journey through a way that I guarantee you've never seen before, it's a telling of a generation of people that live for the darkness in life. The film will be shot in Black and White for artistic purposes, this is a Super Low Budget film, however, If the stars work on my side and I see success, A Royalty will definitely be setup for all involved. I am pushing for Film Festivals, Theater Showings, Newspaper Reviews, and recently got an exec at HBO interested in the film. So you have seen Following? Please understand my budget is small but I have managed to acquire the equipment and crew to make a diamond. Currently I am seeking more investors to pay my actors and actresses, but until they cough up the funding :) it's No Pay. Keep in mind that will most likely change.
Thank You For Reading, Please Send Headshot and Resume - Thank You Again.
