All About Open Calls

Hey guys,
Since I told you about the Disney Open Call that's going to happen on July 9th, I though I should probably talk about Open Calls, since some people may not know what those are, or what to do.

Yeah, basically an Open Call is an event where people go to get discovered. You don't have to pay for it, there is no registration fee, and anyone can go.
So, if you are going to an Open Call, or if you want to go to an Open Call, there are some things you should know.

You should bring with you:

1. Your talent
2. A headshot
3. Your resumé listing all of your experience, training, and specific contact information
4. If they ask you to bring a monologue to present, do it. If they don't they are probably going to give one to you, or a script(a scene) in the Open Call.

Tip: It's really good to have a monologue memorized just in case.
Tip 2: If the call is from 12 to 3, get there at 12, don't get there at 3.

When you get there, register and just sit down, relax, maybe read a book, or study your monologue, just wait untill your name is called. It's important that you look confident and in a good mood.
Oh, and don't take it personal if you get rejected. Keep in mind that there are many people there with you too, and this is a really competitive industry, so you are going to get rejected, over and over again. So it's important, not to take it personal and keep trying, because someday your going to get it, right?

PS. Be sure to know where the open call is. You don't want to get lost.
