Hey, my site’s not that bad. NO it really is. That was a project that I had in school years ago and there was never any filler for it. Just the body. I used it to test the site. I have a real site that I have been working on and will be up in December. That movie titled “poopy” was just a way to get a video to my friend. Sorry for having that crap up. I’ve been trying to get a “Under Construction” page up but my server is not working properly. As soon as I can connect to it I will add a link to your site so this won’t happen any more. Cheers [...] [...] Jonathan Harford has found, and responded to, my whining about the existence of his site! Hey, my site’s not that bad. NO it really is.

My three tips to getting attention of the casting director when there's such a volume of actors submitted are: 1.) If you can afford it, get a color headshot. It seems superficial, but these did totally jump out when we were sorting through stacks and stacks of grey headshots. 2.) Make sure your headshot is up-to-date. Plenty of girls with pretty faces submitting for ingenue-type roles and mysteriously wearing Cross-Colors t-shirts and Hammer pants whilst leaning up against posters that read "Free Nelson Mandela" are immediately thrown into the crap pile during a casting. It's certainly okay to not be 19, but it's not good to bother casting directors with irrelevant headshots that will make you a disappointment in person. 3.) Include a five word note that shows comprehension of the project you're applying for, and those casting can't help but be flattered by the attention you've paid. Honestly. I still remember how cool it was to find people who seemed genuininely interested in our project or genre (even if they were just successfully faking). Even a post-it will do.
