For First Timers

Hey all, just wanted to give a quick synopsis of how to get involved. The agency that I go through is Central Casting Agency of Los Angeles. Linked on the side are the necessary forms and information for getting officially registered, but I wanted to include a few pointers along with it. In general, registrations times begin on Monday, Wendesday, and Friday each week between 10:30 and 11:30 AM. They usually are pretty relaxed as far as going over time, but if necessary they will give you a "front of the line" pass and make you come back another day. This sounds simple enough, but every time I have visited (first time and re-registration) they have lines out the door (usually around 200 people). Thus, it is very important to get there early. Otherwise, you will be wait in line for a long time and, once again, might not even get registered. Likewise it is very important to make sure you have the required legal documentation. They do not do background checks, but they do need proper work ID and birth certification. They will turn you away without these. Most of the other imformation is self explanatory and explained clearly on their site. Though, one other thing to remember is the $25 cash fee. They do not take checks. It is a real shame when I see people wait for a good hour to be turned away for that very reason. Though, if you wait in line for any reason and must be turned away, they will give you a "front of the line" pass. Generally, all one need to do is pay proper attention to the instructions and all will go smoothly.
