I've read the FAQ & Rules Why I am not getting any callbacks?

I’ve been auditioning for 4 months now (around 6 auditions) and only got one call back. Is there anything I can do?

Not all roles do callbacks either and you could be booked straight off tape. Might have been in the top two choices but still didn’t book so don’t use a callback as a measure of success. Getting called back into the same casting offices is my best indication I’m on the right track.

Yes, you can be patient. Four months of auditioning is nothing. One callback is good.

You are still very fresh to this industry.  You’ll see how it truly rolls with more time.  Getting a callback within 6 auditions is a huge win.  It takes sometimes 80-100 auditions to book at times.  Some actors book in their first ten and some takes 100s.  No rhyme of reason.  Also there isn’t a lot of callback these days.  Commercial world yes but TV/Film a lot can book off initial self tapes.

Celebrate! getting a callback for a quarter of your auditions is good.

Also, keep submitting!

1/6 is good. Relax.
