WHO SHOULD SIGN UP?
Can I sign up with Actingscout.com
if I don't live in the United States?
YES! We have invited the top actoring agencies and
scouts from around the world and they are looking for
great new faces from around the world.
What types of actors are you
looking for?
Actors come in all shapes and sizes. Each category has
different requirements. If you have dreamed of becoming an actor,
Actingscout.com is the right choice for you. Actingscout.com
has invited agents looking for both males and females in
these categories:
- Television / Film / Commercial / Theatre
Is there a minimum age?
Yes, we only accept submissions of children 6 years
of age and older.
Can I still become a actor
if I am in school and I only have spare time during
the summer months?
Reputable agencies will always make school a priority.
There are two reasons for this:
- Most aspiring actors are of school age and agencies
are accustomed to working around your school schedule.
- A actor's career, no matter how
successful is extremely short, making it more important
to have a solid educational base from which to draw on once
the actoring career is over.
Why not just submit my photos
to individual agencies?
The answer is simple:cost,
representation, and
efficiency.
To approach agencies on your own usually requires that
you spend a lot of money (professional photos, video, couriers...),
a lot of time (appointments, walk-ins, follow-ups.),
and there is no guarantee that you will ever
be
seen!
Actingscout.com provides an inexpensive way to guarantee
that your image will be professionally presented to all
invited agencies. Don't forget, Actingscout.com
can also provide you with a personal evaluation that will
help you to pursue your dream of becoming a actor.
HOW DO I
BEGIN?
Can I send you my photos first,
so you can let me know if I should use your service?
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of all these agencies
evaluating you right off the bat, you should try our personal
evaluation service. You will receive personal
feedback from an industry insider. You will obtain a
professional opinion and discover what your chances really
are. You will also receive helpful advice that will improve
your opportunity for success in the future.
What is the best way to submit
my images?
The best way to submit your photos and video is via your computer.
To do this, your computer will need access to the Internet.
If you do not have access to the Internet, you may elect
to mail us your snapshots and we will scan and upload
them for you. There is a fee for mailing in your snapshots
- you may select this option when you sign up.
What style of photos should
I submit?
Ideally, you will
provide one of each of the following:
- Regular headshot
- Full body shot
- Different looks i.e. business, sexy, wholesome, rough etc.
- Specific body parts
- You may upload additional
shots at your discretion.
Please take a moment to be certain that your images are
clear, well lit, and in focus.
COST AND PAYMENT
What does it cost to sign up
- The actor Search is FREE (1 photo and no videos)
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Can I send my payment by mail
and still upload my snapshots online?
Absolutely! We understand
that not everybody has access to a credit card.
Please complete your profile and upload your images.
Your images will be kept in our database until your payment
has been received, to a maximum of 30 days.
Do you guarantee that I
will be offered acting jobs?
Actingscout.com will provide you with exposure to
our list of scouts and invited agencies as well as with
their feedback about your potential as a actor.

offered any acting jobs. Jobs are offered at the discretion
of each agency based on how much potential they feel you
possess.
How long will I have to wait to receive feedback?

and scouts have equal opportunity to sign you. Once a batch

to the reports section of your account and purchase your
report. Your account will remain active for a minimum of
three months from the time you submit your completed profile.

friends, agencies etc.).

Your photos and video are only
seen by invited agencies. Photos
submitted to Actingscout.com will be viewed
within 90 days by
the invited agencies. You may also email your
composite card to others (family, friends, agencies
etc.).
How does Actingscout.com save me time and
money?
Actingscout.com allows
you to reach the world's top agencies in one stop. Sending
your images individually to the top agencies would require
you to spend thousands of dollars without any guarantee
that you would ever be seen. By posting your
profile on Actingscout.com, you are targeting
the top agencies around the world and you can
monitor which agents have expressed an interest in you.
Only respected agents and scouts will see your
profile and you don't have to leave the comfort

next New Faces launch. Depending on when you register,
it will take as little as a few days, or up to a month,
for you to be contacted.

to scout new actors?
