I found this agency through a Craigslist ad. I contacted the agency because they were looking for people to use in upcoming projects. They specialize in casting extras or background actors.
I went in and did a short cold reading. I was a little surprised to do a reading for extra work, but I was advised they all do bookings for minor speaking roles.
I was given a slip of paper to call the next morning, which I did. I was informed that I'd passed that part of the screening process. Next, I was to bring in headshots. I didn't have any at the moment, and Ann advised she could provide contact info for photographers, IF that is what I wanted or I could use my own photographer. She went over the photo requirements.
I didn't have a photographer in town right now that I was using, so I used one of Anne's suggested photographers. He only charged $200 for headshots. Once I met with the photographer, I was instructed to meet with Ann later that day. I did as instructed and brought her my headshots.
She gave me a resume template and asked me to create a resume and return the next day, which I did. She then advised me about an audition that was happening the next week on a Monday.
I showed up at the audition as instructed (it was for a courtroom drama), and it went great. I not only got one of the parts, but it was a speaking role.
I am VERY pleased with Ann and LAC Background and I look forward to getting more jobs from this agency. read more
