We’ve heard a few misconceptions flying around when it comes to how actors get an audition so let’s review some of the basics and show you some real numbers from Breakdown Express:
1. Yes, there tends to be a large number of submissions for just 1 role. This number can fluctuate depending on the size of the role and type of project.
2. Pitching and submitting on time by your talent rep helps but is only part of the equation.
3. Having great materials that accurately represents who you are and what you can do will help us immensely in our decision-making.
4. Getting an audition(s) is already a win and tells you that what you’re putting out there is working.
5. We deal with a lot of actors in large numbers. So that one audition you fumbled or messed up the line with? We probably won’t remember and neither should you.
