I am assuming you are in the LA area. There are much less casting notices in NY for Film and Commercials.

http://www.actorsaccess.com

http://www.lacasting.com

http://www.nowcasting.com

These are the only places that are being widely used by casting directors. However, actors generally do not have access to the "breakdowns" that agents access to. These sites only list a small fraction of what is being cast.

superman & oncamera listed the ones that are out there, but they only list the lesser roles or spec commercials not ones that are guaranteed to air. Some projects will be web based, some roles are more 'minor' roles or walk ons as opposed to major speaking roles unless it's a student film or independent film. To get a role in a regional or national commercial or a larger rol in a film you would have to go through a legitimate talent agent who has access to the breakdowns.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.). Another great resource is Ross Reports especially because they update their info so often but not all of the agents they list are SAG and you have to pay for the list. That doesn’t mean they’re not legit, but that’s why I always tell people to start with the SAG list. It’s free and those agents have signed an agreement to put the actor first! www.rossreports.com If you subscribe to backstage.com you can get a combo subscription which can come in handy but can also get quite expensive.

Then you can send the agencies your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview. You never call the agencies directly. That is a big no-no! At least it is in LA. Please remember that reputable agents take exactly 10% of your pay AFTER they help you get a job. Not one cent more and not one cent before. Anything else is a scam. This is strictly for talent agents, not modeling agents or talent managers who take different percentages.

good lucK!

Auditions for commercials and motion pictures, go through Talent Agents.

Craigslist sometimes has casting calls and auditions yet you would be able to desire to be careful of those. try googling the call of your city with the words "auditions." There are some web pages exact to domestically-centred audition listings.

Are you a member of the SAG? Have you done any film work before? Can you act? Can you take direction? Do you have an agent? Where can one see a photo of you?
