Upcoming Extra Audition Movie Extra Casting Extras Be an Extra TV Show Extra
Extras need to be getting paid much more for what they do. There should also be easier routes to finding out about upcoming auditions for extras, who often are called up at the ultimate last minute to drive to far-off locations and film for twenty minutes in a segment of the film which they appear in for exactly one second. Posting upcoming auditions for extras makes it easier for hard working actors to organize their schedules, and give you the chance to look for ideal work situations you will both enjoy and benefit from.
In the old days there was no such concept of any kind of auditions for extras, never mind having the luxury of perusing a list of upcoming auditions for extras that you could use to pick and choose the one's you'd most like to go on. These are the days of the future, however, and we've got cell phones, portable DVD players, and computerized lists of upcoming auditions for extras on the Internet.
When Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe were big movie stars, extras were the equivalent of today's day laborers who are forced to wait around, sometimes for days at a time with no work, then break their backs for hours to come home with about forty dollars. (Which back then was probably about five dollars.) Imagine if they had had a system that actually announced upcoming auditions for extras, allowing them to pick and choose which ones to go on, and giving them the chance to get a more visible role. Giving the many very talented extras out there a regularly updated list of upcoming auditions for extras is the wave of the future.
