New Moon Movie

A lot of aspiring models want to know the best place to find all modeling casting calls. There are so many unknown modeling casting calls that are not known to the public. I will give you access to these casting calls so that you have an advantage over other models.

Fill out this form to see an updated list of model casting call. Your agent should be finding at the very least of one modeling audition a week. If it is considerably less than that, it may be time to find a new agent. If any company like an agent or model agency asks for money upfront, I would be weary because they can promise a lot of things but not follow through. Make sure that you have a headshot picture handy and also a full-length one.

Modeling casting directors also want to know some physical stats about you such as your height and weight. Make sure that those are current. If you are not comfortable with posing nude, do not compromise your standards and stick with it.

Treat your career in modeling just like a whole entity in business. Just like any other brand like Starbucks or Wal-Mart, you are a brand too. You as a person and your name is a brand. You need to treat it as a business and market yourself. As word gets out about your business, you’ll have more opportunities. Want to get into Modeling and acting?

Leaving on a last remark, you need to be sure that being a model is something you really want to to. The harsh reality is that modeling isn’t all fun and games. There are a lot of long grueling hours ahead and lots of traveling and no rest. I’m not trying to discourage you, I just wanted to set expectations for you so that you know what to expect. Maybe someday your picture will be in an ad in the middle of Times Square. Good Luck!

What is typically on your mind when you enter the audition? Most actors will say “booking the job!” The outcome of your audition is the last thing you should be worrying about. Why?

First, no actor has any control over the decisions that are made by the casting office. There are too many variable factors that go into the casting decisions and may have zero to do with your performance, so why waste your creative energy distressing about it. Second, booking the role is not actually an objective; it’s a goal and every other actor shares this goal. Third and most significant, you run the risk of becoming overly attached to the outcome of your efforts, which can lead to disappointment, which leads to desperation, which leads to poor choices. 

The only control any actor has going into their audition is over their own behavior, mental attitude and performance.

Therefore, your main audition objectives should be to:

1. Represent Your self

The late comedian, Bill Hicks, once said, “If you can be yourself on stage, you have the law of supply and demand covered …for no one else knows how to be you.” Bill was speaking about the art of stand-up comedy, but this concept is particularly true in the television and film medium.

Many actors will enter the casting room trying to be somebody they’re not. They might try to “sell” themselves by kissing-up to anyone in the casting room. Some actors have been schooled to go in as their character, or to prepare some rehearsed joke or phrase, or to do and say something so original and clever in their performance just so they can stand out from the rest. Remember, even though the directors are judging your talent and skill, they also want to know what kind of person they would be working with if they booked the job. Just be your self.

2. Be Remembered

Directors and Casting Directors will always ask for actors they remember for being professional, skilled and just plain pleasant to work with. Most casting directors will ask for particular actors for auditions because they listened to direction and did their homework. It didn’t mean these actors were going to get the role, but it helped to increase their chances. Besides, directors will refer you to others so even when you’re not auditioning, your name is out there. It’s good to be remembered.

3. Play

Playing doesn’t mean “goofing off” or to act irresponsibly; it means you can listen to any direction, take it and run with it. The directors want to see you have your head wrapped arounf the story, the scenes and the character so well, you can bring it all to life no matter what is thrown at you. Never get so locked into your preconceived choices that you can’t let go and play with options. Let them know how much you enjoy playing the role.

These objectives will help you to have and maintain a good attitude with every audition no matter the outcome.

I’m sure every actor, director and acting instructor has used this expression, but what does “owning the audition” actually mean for the commercial audition? First, let me tell you what it does not mean; it does not mean it’s always about your acting choices. I know, this idea may contradict what you have been told by acting coaches and even your agent, but the truth has to be told and put into proper perspective. In television and film auditions, it is all about your acting choices, your ability to demonstrate your understanding of the character, the relationship to the other characters and the total story. But commercials are very short concise stories that deliver a precise message, concept, feeling and tone. Your acting skill may not even count as much as your ability to understand and serve those elements. The most important and unique quality any actor can bring to the commercial audition is the heart of who they are.

What will separate your performance from the other actors is you.

There will be some commercial auditions that will be all about the actor’s choice in delivery . However, unlike film and television auditions, commercial auditions are usually about what is needed to make the commercial work. Therefore, it’s often about the director’s choices. When you prepare for your audition, you should have a few options in mind, but you should also be willing to let go of any choice you come in with and just go with what the director is telling you to do. Most actors feel obligated to prepare something they think is original and brilliant. Unfortunately, those “brilliant” choices are sometimes so far from the intended concept that the actor looks like they ended up at the wrong audition. Those actors who think they are doing something original and clever usually appear to be re-writing the concept. Many actors will come into the commercial audition and actually fight with casting director arguing, “This is my audition, my choices, not yours!” These unfortunate actors believe this attitude is what “owning the audition” means; they are tragically wrong, especially when it comes to the commercial audition.

Ownership: Alternative Pronunciation: \’own-your-sh*t\

Ownership means you know how to apply the essence of who you are to the commercial . Ownership may or may not include the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of who you are. All the actors competing for the same role are required to do what the commercial director wants in order to bring the concept to life. You and those other actors may be required to do the exact same thing. Actors often focus only on what they have decided they’re going to do, and they forget about being who they are. Despite giving a brilliant performance, it will come down to whether or not you are that part. “Owning” the commercial audition means, you get the concept and brought yourself to the role.

One of the most important skill an actor must demonstrate in any audition is that they know how to serve the story, scene or concept of the audition piece they’re performing. With TV and film scripts, actors oftentimes focus on the character’s history, emotions, physical traits, relationship to other characters and all the spicy traits of that character (which is essential), but if they do not go through the scene/story elements of their audition sides, those character choices may not actually be in line with the story elements. What are the story elements to know? Genre, tone, pacing, status and beat changes, purpose of the scene, purpose of that character in that particular scene, writer’s intent, moments before and after that scene, etc.

When auditioning for TV commercials, the actor must know how to serve the concept of the commercial ad. What are the primary elements to consider for the commercial spot? Theme or message, timing, pacing, and tone of the piece will determine how it must be delivered in order to serve the concept or story. Since the commercial is a very short piece (typically only thirty seconds), it is very important for the actor to understand the various types of deliveries required to serve the ad; real people testimonial or reenactments, customer spokesperson, product spokesperson, humorous, poignant, dramatic, realistic or character, etc.

If an actor shows they genuinely get the scene or monologue they’re performing, they have accomplished the most important of their objectives of the audition. But in order for the casting director to see that they comprehend it, they have to be willing to base their choices on those elements. What is often seen is how the actor had become more focused on trying to impress the director with their acting “brilliance”. It becomes very obvious they had made their acting choices based on what they think will impress someone and forgot to serve the essential elements of the script; they are helping? their ego, not the story.

One of the more obvious signs that the actor is only serving their ego is when the timing and pacing of the lines slow down. The actor seems to “chew on every word”, which occurs most often with sides that have only one or two lines. It seems they are more concerned about stretching out their on-camera time. Another indicator of the actors ego getting in the way is when the actor feels the need to over-indicate, over-act or as some would say, ”aackt”. The actor who is cast may only be appearing for a few short seconds of a thitry second commercial, so they need to understand how to portray that role in the limited time they have. Nothing will kill your chances of a call-back or booking than giving in to the seemingly irresistible need to serve your ego. This will always appear desperate to the directors.

Casting Directors smell desperation on an actor like animal can sense fear.

Not only is desperation a turn-off, it’s a clear warning sign that the actor will likely be high maintainance if they are cast.

Kellan Lutz gave his time to blackbookmag for a recent interview about himself, New Moon, and Robert Pattinson. Seems like a nice guy.

Does going to auditions make you nervous?
No, I love them. I always fight for them and hate when some agents make us put ourselves on tape and send it to the casting director. I like winning the room, if that makes sense; hanging out with the casting directors and talking with them. An audition is 50% knowing your lines and the other 50% is being personable.

So what’s it like being a young actor in Los Angeles?
It’s been an eye-opener, for sure. I really don’t like LA. I don’t go to the beach, I don’t use the amenities that are in LA , I don’t really go out to the clubs.

Why don’t you like going to the beach?
I live in the Valley, so it’s kind of a trek to go there. And for me, whenever I go traveling I just throw everything in a suitcase. I don’t really plan outfits or anything like that so I’ll throw a bunch of stuff in, and when I go to the beach I’m like, “Okay, I need a bunch of balls, towels, sandals, I need to bring my lacrosse stick in case I want to play, and a volleyball.” You know, it takes an hour finding everything and then you have to drive there. It’s just exhausting. And no one really goes in the water in LA, unless you surf. There’s only a month to two months where you can actually go in the water without a wetsuit.

So do you avoid the flashiness of LA’s nightlife?
There’s some things you should go to. Last night I went to the InStyle party and it was very beneficial for myself to meet the editors and hang out with them. It’s all about making relationships—real relationships, you don’t need to be fake. You just talk and build that bond for future endeavors. It’s really weird seeing other actors who go to every single thing, every party out there. It doesn’t appeal to me.

Is it a game you feel you have to play?
No, not really. Again, being in L.A. is kind of like school. You go to math, then you go to geometry and then algebra. It’s changed so much from when I first moved out here. Now it’s a depressing city.

So I hear you’re pretty cool with the Twilight fans, who I hear can be a little much.
I am extremely blessed to be a part of this franchise. I didn’t know this series and I didn’t know it had such a following. I love going to conventions. That’s why I love Will Smith. He goes to every premiere in every country. I really admire that because his fans are the ones going to his movies, and it doesn’t take much to show your appreciation. The Twilight moms made dog tags and engraved really cool things on them.

What’s a Twilight mom? I’m assuming it’s parents that take their kids to these things?
Well actually most of the time it’s the opposite. It’s funny because the mom’s are like, “Oh, we need a picture for my daughter, can you get a picture for my daughter.” And I’m like, where is she? And she’s like, “Oh, uh, she’s grounded this week.” There’s groups of Twilight moms that go to every convention. That’s the amazing thing about Twilight. It’s for everyone.

But what happens when the fans get to a Robert Pattinson-level where it’s just insane?
Well, it’s crazy because with all this attention, all of us are handling it extremely well. We still have our head on our shoulders and our feet on the ground. Rob’s handling it so well. I can’t fathom being in his shoes. I believe I could handle it, but being cooped up in Vancouver and not being able to leave the hotel room or the apartment without having a driver and having to hide out—especially when he was shooting Remember Me, I talked to him a lot in New York and those fans were just crazy. I can’t imagine trying to act when you have all these people yelling your name and you’re doing an emotional scene.

You have some fight scenes in New Moon. Did you have to put on weight?
That’s the thing that’s really hard for me. I did a couple movies after New Moon and before Eclipse where I had to play a high school kid, like Warrior and Nightmare on Elm Street, and it’s one of those things where I love my size—I love being a big kid and having my muscles. So having someone tell you, “Hey, can you not work out until we shoot so you don’t tower over the other actors?” I’m really happy to take the time out and just work out. That’s what my character is, he’s a big guy and it makes me happy being able to eat and just put that weight back on.

So you’ve actually been forced not to work out?
Yeah, I mean they didn’t really say it that blatantly.

Do you like doing your own stunts?
I love doing my own stunts. I try and fight the producers to allow me to do stuff and of course there’s insurance reasons why we can’t, but again, I want that to be my face on screen. I don’t want them to have to blur it out if there’s a cool fighting scene. And a lot of times I can do the stunt better than the stuntman. I once had to fall ten feet from a tree and I go the wind knocked out of me. The stuntmen were like, Let all the air out before you hit the ground. It’s a learning process but I just love doing all my own stunts and I’m an action junkie. I love anything action and being on rigs and falling from buildings. I kind of want to be a stunt man too.

So I imagine you’d love to top line a big action film.
Yeah, I mean, my team and I really are focusing on that genre. I feel like there aren’t that many American action heroes. You got Daniel Craig who’s overseas and Matt Damon’s awesome. I love his career choices. He does comedies, to dramas to big action movies, like the Bourne franchise.

So what was it like filming the Nightmare on Elm Street remake?
Freddie scared me growing up. I watched a lot of horror movies with my dad and my brother. There’s something about Freddie Kruger attacking you in your sleep that terrified me. I mean, that’s probably why I only get four hours of sleep a night, I hardly dream. And having the chance to be a part of this movie, and it’s a psychological thriller versus some bloodbath, I’m blessed. I’m the guy that you want to root for in this because he’s a good guy having these problems because he can’t sleep, and he sees Freddie when he sleeps, so he just stays up.

Do you hang out with your cast mates from Twilight when you’re not filming?
Me and Ashley Greene are kind of not—the kids of the group, but we like playing games. I went to Toys R Us and bought Wii Fitness and tons of other games to play in the hotel, because we are always in the hotel and it’s tough to leave and not be followed by paparazzi or fans.

So people stalk you at the hotel?
Well the thing is, we can’t rent out the whole hotel, so fans will come up that know we are shooting there to have a chance to see all of us in one place. They’ll get rooms and every time one of us leaves, they’re there. It’s great to talk to them but you really can’t sneak away.

What is their reaction when they see you?
They’re very nervous and shy. They’re shaking, they shake and shoot the camera, and it’s all fuzzy so they have to do it again. Then there’s paparazzi who have flown from LA to Vancouver just to shoot a bunch of us. So it’s not just the Vancouver paparazzi, it’s LA as well. So it’s great just to feel like you’re at home and to play games. I bought the Twilight game which we never played until we were up there. It’s a fun game!

You started your career as a model, but when exactly were you bit by the acting bug?
I fell into the modeling world by luck, but I did it because I found photography to be a passion of mine, and being in front of the camera was really cool. So doing different stuff and learning who I want to shoot with as far as photographers was great I got a scholarship to go to Chapman University for chemical engineering in Orange County, and my father’s always lived in LA, so I just wanted to pack up and go there, but my mother didn’t want me, so I did it anyway. It was just something I had to do. When I was in LA, it was extremely lucrative with the modeling—the money, the opportunities—it’s LA so it was fast-paced and I was making more money and traveling all over the world. I just kind of fell into acting as a way to show off my personality.

What’s your favorite restaurant or place to eat in LA?
Katsuya is a great place, one of my favorite sushi places.
