Casting Los Angeles productions can be a huge job. There are so many actors, so much talent, many of these people clamoring to compete for the same positions that the process of casting even just a few principals can be challenging. For performers caught up in this system vying for their chance to make it big, it can be frustrating. Los Angeles is the entertainment capitol of the world, so the chances of having to compete with many other actors for the same role are quite high.
What to do about this phenomenon? The double edged-sword
of having many opportunities to audition or be included
in the casting process on viable commercial projects coupled
with the fact that in Los Angeles there is the highest concentration
of would-be actors of any other city? There is no simple
solution, but one should remain hopeful. Casting, Los Angeles,
the two words are almost synonymous, and actors from all
over the country come here because of that fact.
How can you set yourself apart? Be yourself, for one thing. People involved in casting respond to, and seek out individuality. In Los Angeles there are many actors who are trying to fit a certain mold or imitate a certain look or image, and casting professionals see through this, because they live in Los Angeles too, and they see the many varied styles and looks that are out there. A Director is looking for a certain type, but in casting this usually means an age, height, similarity to a famous actor's physical appearance, but more of a palate that the director can work with, not a pre-fabricated or trendy "look" that shields the actors true features.
