For all you English-speaking actors out there, check out this letter from my friend and former acting teacher, Sei Shiomi, who happens to be a very cool guy as well:
A friend of mine Stephanie Campion who runs a play-reading group in Paris called Moving Parts has created an interesting casting tool for English-speaking actors based in Paris. And I thought you might be interested.
It is a new centralized free-of-charge casting database that will almost certainly provide you with offers of unpaid "opportunities to appear in public" (public readings, short films, etc.) and might even lead to paid work occasionally.
There are three ways in which your information can be registered :
1) You can print the EXCEL form (attached) and mail (by the post) the filled-out physical copy (paper) to:
Moving Parts
142 boulevard de Ménilmontant
75020 Paris
2) You can email a filled-out copy to movingpartsparis@gmail.com
3) You can find the form on Moving Parts website :
http://www.stefcampion.com/CastingDatabase.xls
You can't fill it out online, but you can download it, fill it out, and e-mail it to Stephanie on :
movingpartsparis@gmail.com
Unlike online form-filling, nothing will cut out if you don't want to fill in all the boxes.
But if you are at all publicity-minded, you can give her as much information as possible, to help in casting.
It doesn't cost you anything and I think it may be worth a shot. (You might occasionally receive Moving Parts event updates by emai from Stephanie but that is a small price to pay for this type of service).
Well, hope to see you soon!
SEI
I might just do it.
