I have a few friends that would like for me to help find castings in L.A. and I was wondering how are models hired without having to audition?

For events/parties you need to be signed with a promotional models agency. Google promotional models + your city to find agencies near you.

Even for promotional models there are often auditions if it’s for a high profile event because they want to make sure you not only have the right look, but also the right personality if you are going to be interacting with people at the event.

I’m looking to go to as many open casting calls, auditions etc to gain acting and modelling experience… does anyone know of any websites or forums or anything that hold this information? I’ve found plenty of the US but I need some for the UK, London!

There are casting calls and auditions posted up on an almost daily basis over at filmextras.co.uk

Does it make it better by adding decomposed matter or is it just bad to used old worm castings?

Understanding the Value of Castings

Castings added to the soil carry to the root zone a rich compliment of soluble plant nutrients and growth enhancing compounds, a diverse and populous consortium of microbial life and a substrate of organic matter harboring a storehouse of nutrients that are not lost to rain and irrigation. The plant is delivered an ongoing, reliable food source when bacteria and microscopic fungi feed on the organic matter, releasing some of the nutrients to the soil and storing others for their own energy and reproduction. When nematodes and protozoa in turn feed upon them, the nutrients stored in the bacterial and fungal bodies are released to the soil in a plant-available form.

According to Dr. Elaine Ingham, Director of Soil FoodWeb, Inc. of Corvallis, Oregon, when soil, compost or castings support protozoa numbers on the order of 20,000 per gram of solid matter, 400 pounds of nitrogen per acre are released through their predation of bacteria. When we feed organic matter to the soil, the soil life feeds nutrients to the plant.

Further, unlike soluble plant fertilizers, the nutrients stored in organic matter and the bodies of the microbial life are not lost through irrigation to contaminate ground water. Hair-thin fungal tentacles, called hyphae, wrap about soil and organic matter particles in their search for food, forming aggregates that are the basis for good soil structure. Thus, both the fungi and the organic matter are held in the soil. Bacteria exude sticky glues that enable them to cling to solid particles of mineral and organic matter, ensuring they too remain in the soil and, like the fungi, aid in the formation of aggregates.

Nutrient retention and cycling are not the only benefit to castings use, however. By inoculating the soil with the rich, diverse, microbial life present in good worm castings, the plant root is protected from disease and attack by root-feeding organisms. Because the diversity of organisms aids in ensuring everyone present has a predator, no one organism in the root zone is easily able to reach populations sufficient to cause significant damage. Plant roots exude foods that encourage colonization by microbial life beneficial to the plant, reducing the number of possible infection points. Many micro-organisms exude compounds inhibitory to pathogenic organisms, further reducing the chance for pathogen blooms sufficient to cause plant damage.

When we add castings and the microbial life they support to the soil, we aid in increasing the complexity and diversity of organisms in the root zone, thus aiding in disease and pest suppression. It may not be in the root zone alone where worm castings demonstrate the ability to suppress pest attack, however. There is a growing body of research suggesting that castings derived from a feedstock of plant materials are rich in a compound called chitinase. Chitin, a component of the exoskeleton of many insects, is damaged by chitinase, leading some researchers to believe its presence in the castings may be inhibitory to some insects. Research being conducted in California is demonstrating suppression of white fly and ambrosia beetle in some tree species when castings containing chitinase are applied at the root zone.

From Castings to Tea

So, "why tea?" one may wonder. With compost and worm products demonstrating such tremendous benefit to soil and plant life, why take the extra steps to generate a liquid from this already understood and easily applied solid material?

Leaf surfaces, like plant roots, harbor a rich microbial population that protects the leaf, and thus the plant, from infection and attack by pathogenic organisms. When the microbial consortium present on the leaf surface is reduced by pesticide use or environmental damage, it exposes leaf surface, opening infection points. We can reinoculate the leaf with the diverse com-munities of microbial life found in compost and worm castings by applying a tea made from these materials. Further, teas can be applied as soil drenches and root washes after pesticide use, to reintroduce to the soil microbial communities that may have been damaged by the pesticide. The microbes can then continue to provide protection from pathogens to the plant as well as aiding in breakdown of any pesticide residues in the soil, thereby preventing ground water contamination.

Teas also carry the soluble nutrients and beneficial growth regulators contained in the solid matter used to make the tea. Many of these compounds can be absorbed through the leaf surface, feeding and enriching the plant.

Tea or leachate?

The microorganisms present in an aerobic compost or vermiprocessing system require significant amounts of moisture in order to break down the organic materials present. They use the water in b

Do I need ‘comp cards’ to be a professional model?
I have modelled in a few photoshoots, but now I am starting to earn money from freelance modelling.
Do I need actually need comp cards?
I am building my portfolio, which I obviously need to send to potential employers, but also, when applying to agencies, do I need to send comp cards?
Also, what else would I need to take to interviews and castings?
Thanks

All you need to send in to an agency are a few photos – not comp cards. If you are doing freelance, it would be a good investment to get comp cards printed up – it’s a lot easier than sending out your portfolio which could get lost or take weeks to be sent back to you.

And when are they going to start?

There are no "agents" who cast Breaking Dawn. Agents represent actors and attempt to get the actors auditions for the casting director for films. The production company (Summit Entertainment) hires a casting director, usually on recommendation by the films director. There has not been a director hired yet for Breaking Dawn, therefore no casting director has been hired.

Rob Stewart is about to start filming "Bel Ami", Taylor Lautner is soon filming "Northern Lights", so don’t expect Breaing Dawn to start casting until at least late spring or early summer. Plus the main actors had only signed on for 3 Twilight films, and their agents will surely be attempting to command top dollar for them to sign on to the Breaking Dawn films. And as we all know, Summit Entertainment will not hesitate to replace anyone from the director, to the actors, to the locations!!

All of the up-to-date FREE casting information for the Breaking Dawn films is posted here:

The information is coming directly from inside sources, NOT some former twilight casting director or fan forum.

Hey guys, I downloaded Sony Vegas Pro, for the free trial. I really needed it to make this video. So I hope you all audition. I am precasting some people. MewKiyoko as Luchia, and as Hanon in both casts, and Im casting myself as Hanon. The rules are the same as always in other castings so yeahh.

Movies or television will do. Like how can I find out ahead of time about casting calls in upcoming movies? I always hear about a casting call at the last minute and then it’s too late to audition or set something up. All info is helpful, thank you.

There is a newspaper called Backstage that lists casting calls. You will need an 8×10 photo and a resume with your acting experience and education when you go on the audition.

There are also casting agencies that send actors on auditions. They keep a file of people based on appearance, skills and experience and will send out people that fit the needs of a particular role to audition.

You should really check out some books on working as an actor at the library or bookstore first, so you can show up at an audition prepared and don’t end up wasting your time.

Hope this helps =)
