Finding Actors

One of the best ways to locate actors is to post an ad for an audition on the website, NewEnglandFilms.com. Describe the type of character you are casting and ask potential actors to contact you. Then set up an audition. In the past, students have received as many as 50 responses from professional and semiprofessional actors looking for a part. You don't need to pay them if you can promise a copy of the video for them to use in their reel.

Also, check the Forum/Bulletin Board page on this site for upcoming auditions to be held at B.U. Attend the audition and you might find what you are looking for.
