Vanesa Ferizoli hasn’t been using Backstage for long, but she’s already found more than enough projects to keep her busy.
Bored in the house? Stay occupied with Backstage.
“I’ve been using Backstage for four months now. I come back to Backstage because I have found lots of [suitable] projects on here, and I’ve had the chance to send in more self-tape auditions and attend online auditions, even though there is a pandemic going on at the moment.”
Your uniqueness stands out more than any gimmick.
“My advice for finding success would be to be yourself. It’s good to stand out in a crowd, and the best way to do that is by being yourself and being confident in that.”
It takes time to build relationships, and that’s OK.
“I would say I have become more familiar with some casting directors [through Backstage]. I wouldn’t say I have made connections just yet, but it has only been four months, and I hope I will soon—and I look forward to working with lots of people.”
Your next gig can come at any moment.
“Make sure you are seeing and replying to casting directors’ messages to you. Also, make sure you’re seeing all the applicable notices that you can audition for!”
Flesh out your profile, and jobs might come to you!
“I check Backstage every day for new audition notices and update my profile when I need to. I like how it is set up, and I like how much information you can provide on your profile so that people who see it can get to know you.”
