Actors Primary Category

To step inside Hollywood’s door you need an agent. How do you get one? You could spend about $1,000 to have your headshots done, resumes printed and envelopes sent to the 450 agents based in the Los Angeles area – all for an average, 2 percent success rate. Or, you could audition for The Best Talent Awards. BTA gives you the opportunity to perform for the top LA agents, to actually hand deliver your headshot and resume, and to increase your odds of being discovered to 40 percent!

Secondary Categories

Commercial: This is your opportunity to be seen by commercial casting directors and agents. Many actors make a great living doing commercials and often it helps in launching the rest of their career.
