Robbie, I am right there with you, if I go by your experiences and logic. In that case, I have been Frederic 3 times in Pirates! Anyway, I wish I could audition for Guiseppe....however, I don't think a black Zangara would work. I wish they were holding calls for the Balladeer! Anyway....I know what you mean about Equity calls. Especially since I am not Equity....but I have gotten a couple of callbacks at Equity calls. I must say I have been extremely lucky. Ah well, dems the breaks.

Cheers,
The Balladeer

Sheekala,

I have always been concerned about this and I trust that you know what your talking about in the biz...do you have to be Equity to have a good agent that will submit you to private auditions etc? Or just that you have the agent who will help you is something thats key. I am a sophomore in college and majoring in theatre. I feel that by the time I graduate I will be almost 23 years old and it will be just too late to ever get a chance to get into a broadway chorus role. I do know some people who would def. do a lot for me in the biz but I dont want to become equity yet and earning the 50 hours will take me forever. Does anyone else have any advice? I also will be auditioning in Boston and am quite discouraged by what I hear on here, but it is true to an extent I suppose. Are the same people that are making casting decisions for "under the table" people the same ones that will be at an open call? I am doing it for the experiennce and would like to atleast be "seen" by the real people

Can I ask who here was able to audition privatly for a show? Or should I say..who is equity on this board?

Blue it helps to have a good agent who believes in you, and it also helps if there isn't 20 people just like you at the agency, I'll PM you with some other stuff that might help.

i dont have an agent nor am I equity but, I always submit myself for stuff..and do get calls (mostly for film stuff)...i do crash eq calls to see if they will see me (RENT almost always sees you if it's a principal call) the only prv audition i ever got was for the Hair tour (without having to submit myself) but, thats the extent..just go to anything and everything and have a blast. It's the only way to get your feet in the door. My only problem is..im 20 and look 15. i ALWAYS get questioned if i am still in high school. Ive tried to change my look many times but, it doesn't help...i feel like sutton foster. Updated On: 10/7/03 at 11:41 PM
