Hi,
Please can anyone tell me like any good sites where you can see auditions being posted(sites where you don't have to PAY to see them). Or if you know of any auditions coming up for either film.tv or commercial for a 13-15 year boy thanks so much,
Harry!
Screen Terrier is a good bet and there also sites such as Mandy (though this almost exclusively unpaid work). However it is quite rare for auditions for film and TV to be in the public domain (so, on a website you don't have to pay for). The main reason for this is that most people organising the casting don't want to be inundated with inappropriate submissions. Most of the information goes to agents, because good agents will guard their own reputations by only submitting clients who genuinely fit the casting brief. Unfortunately, some inexperienced actors send details in to casting directors even when they don't fit the brief "just in case" they might be suitable for something. The only auditions likely to appear on Screen Terrier are where Casting Directors are casting the net quite wide, either because the producers want to generate lots of interest in the production or because the casting brief means that they may not find who they want by going down the usual channels.
If you are really keen to be seen for professional auditions then trying to get an agent is probably your best bet. The best acting agents make no charge - they earn money by taking commission from any jobs you get.
