Hi Welcome to the chat. Do you mean, how does it feel? Or what is expected of you? Give me an idea of the specifics of what you are hoping to learn about.
I'm excited for her to have lines and be on set. I'm a beginner and would like to be in the back ground on a set. Is Central Casting the only way to achieve that?
There are many ways to get in as background. Most shows have a background casting director so you want to find out who that is and submit to them directly.
You should also go to www.georgia.gov click on the Entertainment Industry Link and look for the jobs posting. At times you will find background searches there.
Do Table reads happen even when you are cast a smaller role ? and what are they like - is everyone just reading as they normally would read or are they in chracter.. i know weird question but ive always wondered that
No. Not everyone gets invited to a table read. It depends on the size of the role and how many days you are working. Some shows and films will invite smaller roles to participate because they want them there, or as a courtesy. However a day working on a table read is a day of work, so if you aren't scheduled to start work till after the day the table read is, they cannot expect you to come to the read. Some will invite you anyway and leave it up to you. Many times they do not invite smaller roles for a variety of reasons, some if it has to do with the privacy too and spoilers. It happens, but it also just as often does not happen.
Anyone have any advice for Nora from your time on set?
Hello Members! Any questions or anything you want to share?
How is it like to be on set as an actor with lines? I'm new and I've been on set as an extra before.
