A Portal Every Actor Must Check Out when Looking for Commercial Auditions

Aug. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Every day, hundreds of individuals, with starry dreams in their eyes, hope to make it big in Hollywood, adding to the hundreds already present there. They keep waiting for that big break, spending a bomb on getting new headshots every week, a professional resume and scanning the paper each day for a call for commercial auditions. Although the struggle part would remain as long as the competition remains, but apparently, the process of struggle got a little easier.

Casting Frontier is a company which has made the process of casting calls and commercial auditions a lot easier with the help of technology. Launched less than 5 years ago, Casting Frontier has basically taken the whole process of casting online, thus doing away with tones of paper work and expensive headshots and resumes involved in the process.

The platform allows any performing artist out there to make a profile free of cost, which includes his/her resume, his/her headshots and other relevant information. Once the profile is made, the profile is made available for viewing by casting directors and producers who may be organizing commercial auditions or looking for talent as such. And herein comes the real revolutionary stuff about the platform- through its proprietary software, it allows casting directors, producers and other industry professionals to view auditions online, to organize TV auditions and to handle call backs in a streamlined manner.

Thus, the portal does away with two things- one, the scramble for size cards and photos which is a typical scene at any auditions; two, the tedious process of editing and uploading audition videos, which helps industry professionals save a lot of time and manpower.

Given the hard-to-ignore benefits of the platform when it comes to commercial auditions, it comes as no surprise that more and more casting directors are flocking to it to scout talent. And that’s where the advantage lies for new as well as existing talent. Because renowned names in the industry are increasingly looking for talent on Casting Frontier, it gives performers the opportunity to get some much-needed exposure themselves.

Joey Rubenstein and Andreas Tompros, the brains behind Casting Frontier, have definitely launched a good initiative by making the process of commercial auditions convenient and cheaper for artists; and even if artists are skeptical about it, which is usual with everything new, it still is a platform worth checking out.
