Actors Access
If you are working in television and film, Actors Access is THE essential website you’ll use to submit your auditions. If you are represented, it will be REQUIRED. There is a free tier, but signing up for Actor’s Access plus will save you a ton if you submit a lot of auditons.
-
Casting Networks
This is another essential casting website where you can view and submit to breakdowns. Most agents require talent to have an account with Casting Networks.
-
IMDbPro
To me, this is an essential website you can use to research projects, directors, agents, and more. It is also essential if you want to add photos and reels to your IMDb page.

Get Taped
They should change the name of this business because they do so much more than taping. They coach, they tape, they do demo reel edits, and they have an incredibly helpful YouTube channel and The Scuttlebutt newsletter.
