Launch of social network for actors provides acting soup for the soul

Added: (Wed Sep 24 2008)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Los Angeles, California - 24 September 2008 - A new social network exclusively for actors & actresses launched today, offering performing artists of any acting experience or career stage an opportunity to enhance or kick-off their acting career online. ActingSoup (http://www.actingsoup.com) is a new online community allowing actors & actresses to connect with other actors, casting agents, producers or directors. Actors can upload open audition video clips, create specialist actor groups, invite actor or actress friends, search for acting jobs, or get acting career advice.

Budding actors looking to launch their acting career can upload their best sample acting clip or show reel for free exposure to industry insiders. For experienced actors who think they could play a scene better than the actor who ended up playing it, they can upload their video 'open audition' to prove it. If an actor is down as a hunky lead, when they think they are really a character actor, again they can set the record straight via their own casting video.

In contrast to the many faux casting agent sites and 'How-to-make-it-as-an-actor' guides, ActingSoup is entirely free and offers a way onto, or up, the acting ladder via video clips and social networking technology. The online community allows you to build contacts in the industry online and bypass the closed. Thespian 'Soup for the soul'.
