Teaching my Peers 2

'Contacts' - edited by Kate Poynton.  Published every October.  Available through Amazon and Spotlight (see below).  Make sure you get the most recent edition.  It contains hundreds of contacts for Stage, TV, Film and Radio, i.e. casting directors, agents, theatres, technical and behind-the-scenes, producers and production companies, etc.  Approx. £12.50 to buy.

'Spotlight' - the most famous casting directory.  Basically you can have a photo and brief biography/cv entered into a category i.e. young actors, which will be published on line and in hard copy.  Casting directors/other relevant parties can look up their ideal person for the job and may invite you to an audition or casting.  Bit of a 'shot in the dark' but helps towards your professional image to put a link or reference to the page number regarding your Spotlight entry.  Some agents insist on subscription to Spotlight.  See website for eligibility and more details.
