FAQs

Start by thinking about the story or message you want to share. Write down the character's main traits, like if they're happy, sad, or funny. Mention any special skills the actor might need, like singing or dancing. This will help actors know if they fit the role.
Look for actors who can bring characters to life and who can show strong emotions. Check if they’re good at acting using their past work, like videos or auditions. Ensure they listen well and can change their style based on what you need.
Ask to see their portfolio or reels, these are videos showing their past work. Look for variety in their roles, which shows they can play different characters. Check if they’ve worked on similar projects; this can make them a better fit for your needs.
Be clear about what the project is about and what your goals are. Share any scripts, outlines, or concepts you have. Let the actor know what emotions or reactions you want from them in each scene.
The contract should include agreed dates for filming or performances. Mention any important deadlines for practice or script reading. Include details about how you will pay them and when the payments will happen.
Outline clear milestones that match the project's timeline. Decide together what finished scenes or parts should look like. Make sure there's time for any corrections or improvements if needed.
Provide them with background information about their character. If possible, introduce them to other team members they’ll be working with. Suggest rehearsal techniques or readings that could help them develop their character.
Discuss mutual goals and how you will measure success. Talk about how often you plan to meet or check in during the project. Set up communication channels that will make it easy for both of you to stay updated.
Ensure the actor has all necessary materials, like scripts and schedules. Confirm all expected dates and deadlines. Arrange a kickoff meeting where everyone involved can meet and discuss the project.
