Feature films

Film directors are constantly in need of walk on artists (extras) due to the huge amount of films being made on a weekly basis. Without 'extras' the streets, parks, offices and all other public areas in movie scenes would be deserted. We submit members details to the big movie production company's when films are in the pre-production stage for maximum success.

 


 

Television

Today's daytime and evening television listing are full of soaps and serials all in need of 'extras' on a constant and rotating basis. The added bonus of landing a permanent spot as an 'extra' on a television programme is that it could progress to a speaking role and maybe even an acting career as a character within the show!

 


 

Music Videos

Got a few moves? Why not try to become one of the many 'extras' that the creation of new music videos demand. Most top singers today have a dance theme within their videos which include 'extras' milling about in the background of a club or concert etc. Fame Street regularly posts out opportunities to be an 'extra' in the latest music videos.

Advice - Learn How to Act

 

For some people, acting comes naturally but for most some training could go a long way. You don't have to join acting classes or groups, you could simply practise amongst friends and family or even in a mirror. Maybe you could apply for a role that suits your personality making acting it out much easier, for example, you may be a fit athletic person and spot a role in a film for a gym instructor or maybe the lead actor needs to be good at running. Acting is a craft that can take years to perfect but it is a craft that can be learned by the majority of people so if your not a natural actor or you lack confidence then get some practise and start applying for our acting auditions.
 
Be Willing to do What it Takes

 

A career in the entertainment industry whether it be acting, singing, modelling or dancing takes a lot of dedication, passion and commitment but it can also creates a lot of disappointment which you need to absorb and brush off. Be prepared to make sacrifices within your personal life to achieve your aims and attend as many acting auditions as you can.

Be Persistent

 

Getting knocked back after an acting audition or not hearing back from a casting are standard within the acting industry. You will be rejected more times than accepted as competition for some acting auditions can be fierce. The key is to be persistent and apply for as many roles as possible to increase your chance of being chosen. Don't take rejection personally as the casting directors may be seeking a particular look that you don't have regardless of your acting ability. Be the dog that wont let go of the bone!
