Read this article to learn what to expect at commercial auditions. At a commercial audition there will be a lot of things going on at one time. At these auditions there are usually a lot of people there with specific jobs. The people mentioned will probably be mostly casting directors and staff.
What to Expect at the Commercial Audition
The best tip is to be nice to everyone and don’t be rude. The reason being is that it will take you farther and you never know who you interact with. The person you talk to may look like a run-of-the-mill crew person, but in actuality is the lead casting director.
It’s ok to be nervous, but try to remember that the casting directors are human as well. Meditating and breathing will help you to relax and ace the audition.
Here is a list of current commercial auditions.
Truth be told that if you are one of the last people in line at the commercial audition, you may not have a chance to get to see the casting directors. Adding on top of that, if you have a bad attitude, then it can ruin your chances. If you have the attitude of willing to do whatever it takes and look professional, you’ll have a better shot.
It’ll finally come to your chance to introduce yourself and do so with a smile. You’ll slate yourself by telling them your name and the agency you are with. Because commercial auditions can vary, you may next be asked to recite some lines or maybe come up with something on the top of your head.
Make sure you get the role you want in a TV commercial casting call.
At the end of the auditions, the casting directors will tell you that they’ll let your agent know how you did. Make sure to thank them and gracefully leave. I wish you the best of luck in Hollywood or in the entertainment industry.

Going to the movies is a great way to spend an evening or even an afternoon. You anxiously wait for that next big blockbuster to come to the big screen. The movie was fantastic and now you cannot wait for it to come out on DVD. That can take several months. First it has to finish its run in the theater and then be transferred to DVD for sell to the public. Many people it out. But others are taking shortcuts and getting the movie early. How are they getting their hands on a copy of a just released movie? They are doing it through pirated movies. Movie piracy is a serious crime and it is one that is affecting the movie industry and population tremendously. Though it may seem like a great idea at the time, it comes with serious repercussions. If you are not familiar with this form of theft, and theft it is, this article is for you.
How is a movie pirated?
There are several ways a movie may be pirated. It really depends on the age of the movie. New releases are often captured on video camera in the movie theater and then copies are made for distribution. They are also uploaded to share sites where people will download a copy to their computer. Another way for newly released films to be pirated is for a person to obtain a copy that is meant to go to a film critic. Movies that have been released to DVD are also part of the whole movie piracy movement. Someone will rent or buy a new movie and then make lots of copies to sell or share with others. The movies that are filmed on a camcorder in the movie theater tend to be very poor quality and often the person buying the film does not know this until the purchase or download is already complete.
If I want to copy a DVD I purchased over to my computer drive, is it a form of movie piracy?
It really all depends on how you plan on using that DVD you purchased. If you simply want to watch it on your computer then it is not a form of movie piracy. New DVD’s are now coming with copies that are made just to download to your computer. But if you share that movie with others or make copies to distribute then you are violating copyright laws. If you have ever paid attention to the warning from the government that is posted at the beginning of any picture then you know what is allowed and what is not allowed. You definitely do not want to get caught sharing movie files or selling pirated copies.
What is the drawback of using a pirated movie?
Most pirated movies are the ones that are still in the movie theater. So the thief, and that is exactly what the person is, has to either obtain a copy of it on DVD that is meant for distribution to theaters or film critics, or he or she has to record the movie while sitting in the theater. Most pirated movies you find on the internet are through the camcorder method. That means the picture is usually quite distorted, the sound is off and you have people walking through the range of the camera’s picture. If you buy one of these movies off a street vendor then you have no idea what the quality is going to be. It may also be a blank disk. And it is not as if you can go back to the vendor and demand a refund because you are doing something illegal. The biggest gamble comes when you download a movie from the internet for a pirate website. You can be tracked and found through your IP address. And if you are caught by the authorities then you could be facing severe penalties and jail time.
Where do most pirated movies come from?
Right now most pirated movies come from Asia. It is a hard issue that governments such as China and Japan are facing. There is a huge money market for pirated movies and while they may crack down on one street vendor…three more spring up in his or her place. Not everyone is going to report a person that is illegally copying and distributing movies so it becomes up to the government to try and track these underground organizations down and penalize them.
