How to look for an acting job in Edmonton

You can look for an acting job by traditional means, though in Edmonton the 'scene' is certainly not like it is in larger Canadian (or American) cities. That is, you can go to casting calls and have a try-out. Your agent should help you land good roles and acting stints through its contacts. Your application may also include submitting a head shot. A head shot is a photograph of yourself that you can present to agents and casting directors. You can send it online or you can also hand it in person to entertainment industry professionals. Submit different head shots to show different angles of your face and depending on the role you are aiming to play.

If acting is your dream career, remember that competition is tight. You have to hone your acting skills and be on the lookout for good acting stints where you can get noticed more.
