What websites can I get free and "legitimate" casting calls/ audition notices for the New York area?

Answer 1

Onemodelplace.com has legitimate casting calls (also check out the message boards).
I am not sure of other sites (though you should check out modelmayhem, allmodelzone, babewarehouse, and other portfolio sites).

It is SO hard to tell who/what is legit anymore and there are SO many scammers-- I know that determined cons have gotten thru the filters and moderators on all the sites I mentioned.

NY is known as "The Big Apple" because long ago a famous folk hero (Johnny Appleseed) planted a single seed in the middle of the city. Then, in a strange warp in space-time, a boy named Jack planted a seed he believed to be magical in the same spot. In what is still considered a marveling biological advancement, the two seeds fused together on a molecular level. After an impressive rain, the seed hybrid grew into an apple 300ft tall and approximatively 330ft wide. The strangest thing being the absence of a tree. It seems the apple was completely normal, except it grew straight from the ground with its own roots like a beanstalk of some sort. For decades to come, people would visit the city and look up at the impossible fruit and think "that is a big apple". After a while people began referring to the city itself as "The Big Apple". But then, 1943 Oct 11th, something strange happened. As the city laid to rest, the night once again upon them, there was a blinding flash of red light. The flash lasted for nearly 4-5 seconds. No one is certain what caused the flash, but once it was over the apple had simply disappeared. Not only had it vanished, the ground it had grown from had closed as if it were never there. Some say the apple had grown so large it created some sort of fruity supernova and collapsed in on itself in a black hole. Some say the aliens responsible for the death of the dinosaurs came back and destroyed the apple as well. We may never know exactly what happened that night, but one thing is for sure. That was a big-*** apple.

Backstage.com or you can purchase it, as a newsaper, every Thursday at most large newstands in Manhattan. This is the publication used by New York Actors to locate auditions, for theatre, film, movies, student films, etc.

It is the ONLY legitimate publication you need for audition information for the New York City area.

Have you tried playbill.com? They have a job listing section on the left side of the main page. They list paying, non-paying, internships, etc. for not only NYC but the entire USA!!

Answer 5

craigslist.com is a wonderful resource, but you need to use your judgement on it as on any site - illegitimate posts can and do get through anywhere.
