FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I be represented by Heery Loftus Casting?
Heery Loftus Casting is not an agency and does not represent actors. Our role is to help production companies find the right talent. To be considered for auditions, your work must be known to us, either through stage or film performances or our open call process (See the For Actors tab). Please do not send pictures unless requested, and do not email them.

How do I get an agent?
Agents represent talent and help secure job opportunities. Contact agencies in your area and inquire about their process for meeting new actors. Be sure to have your headshot and resume ready!

How do I become an actor?
Acting is a craft and a passion. Begin by seeking out training, including acting for the camera, improv, and theater auditions. Watch industry content, read publications, and keep learning.

How can I be seen for auditions?
Once your work is known to us, we may invite you to audition for suitable roles. Stay in touch with your agent for updates and check our website and Facebook / Instagram for casting calls.

What’s a good headshot and where can I get one?
A good headshot should look like you. The industry standard is an 8x10, color, matte finish. Research photographers in Philly and New York to find one that fits your needs. Make sure to do your homework and shop around. 

How can I become an extra?
