| "Thank
you for listing "Pinelands...The Legacy Continues". We have
received many headshots, approximately 50-60 daily." Ms. Billie Fontanez Director for the film, "Pinelands ... The Legacy Continues" " It is a blessing to
have a service like this to enhance the industry, otherwise where would we find great
talent." "This is a great site! I cast voice and
on-camera talent for commercials all the time and this kind of service will be very
useful. This will be the future of casting." "I am looking forward to making use of your
site to cast productions as the need arises. This is really going to cut down on the time
that it takes me to cast a project. Thank you." Larry Sheingorn used the Future Casting 2000 web site to find talent for his 2 productions (Grins and 45 Questions) and had this to say: "You have got to be the wave of the future. Now, I think, the problem is that many people are not familiar with the web and its power. But as more talent learns about it, and more producers start to use it, there shouldn't be any other way. Especially if you have the space to put JPEG and MPEG files on the site. THANKS again for your help! Keep up the great job!!" Larry Sheingorn73063.524@compuserve.com "I just wanted to thank you
for the really great site that you have! My daughter, Brittany Davis, attended one of the
auditions that you had listed on your site (teen actors wanted for "Teen Escape"
in Virginia) and was cast as one of the lead characters. This is truly a wonderful site.
Thanks for all the great information!" "Thank you for the wonderful ecard! I want you to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed your auditions page and have utilized it well. I actually found my current manager through your latest posting! All the posts on your board are very professional and that is RARE! Even a Star Wars casting call was on your board ... something I haven't seen anywhere else on the net ... not even at the Star Wars site. So congratulations on a job well done and I wish you the best of luck in the new year!" Corina "Dear Tony, Sincerely, We provided casting director Suzzane Skinner with information about the Casting Society of America (CSA) and she had these nice words to say about us: " Wow! Tony, you are
really great at this! I've never gotten a reply this quickly from any company, regardless
of the subject! I hope they recognize and appreciate your skill! Thanks for all of the
wonderful information and interest regarding my question. I will contact them [CSA] again
on the site you listed. I hope I will get a quicker response w/ that address. Again,
thanks for being such a great resource for me!" "I have been
getting the newsletter - and it's EXCELLENT! I have heeded much of the sagacious advice.
I'm switching my internet provider next month, but will re-subscribe to the newsletter as
soon as I switch over. And it's been a great year - just finished two national TV shows,
several movies, some local commercials and of course my regular stage shows." Bradley R. Marshall - Actor/Voice Talent You can view Brad’s headshot and resume at: http://www.futurecasting2000.com/web_pages/bradley_marshall.htm "Well my investment in listing my headshot and resume in the talent database on your webpage has already paid off -- thank you! I landed the role of Paula, the eccentric owner of Paula's Precious Pets store in the television sitcom pilot Frankly Frank. Thanks again" Deborah Bloodworth "I have to let you know how much I enjoy
getting your newsletter and audition postings. I really look forward to what you have to
say. I've been in the business for about 3 years professionally and have graduated from an
acting conservatory program as well as taken many classes for tv and film. I am always
impressed with your good advice ... it's always a reaffirmation to what I've learned.
Thanks and keep up the good work!!! It's really appreciated! "WOW! I'm sure glad that I discovered your
site today. I see the potential that it holds and let me say that I'm down loading the
"get listed" form to send in with my headshot and resume. Now when I make
recommendations to folks who want to get into the business, I'll tell them about the
Actors' Center, and Future Casting 2000. Continued great success and l look forward to
becoming part of this outstanding website." "Hello, I just had to tell you what a
fantastic site you have. I have been a "stage mom" for a little over a year now,
and it has taken me one year of scratching and digging and searching and "mistake
making" to learn all that your site contains. I wish I had found it earlier. Please
send me an application to list my daughter (age 10 with your site). You have my address on
your newsletter mailing list.Thanks." "Your webpage is just the best! Thank you! It is something I'd expect to have to pay for. I mean, it is very efficient for people like me, who is used to the "idiot's guide" route.=)" Barbara rotella@voicenet.com "Thank you for the extremely well designed
Website. I am an actor and a computer consultant (to pay the bills when not acting) and I
am very impressed with the information and layout of your site. I feel very comfortable
and trusting of your text and documentation. I truly feel that with your wonderful insight
and frankness towards the entertainment business, I will be well informed and prepared for
my difficult journey towards my dream of becoming a professional and successful actor.
Thank you again and I will be following the great advise and insight that you offer." "Just a note to let you know I enjoy reading
the articles in the Future Casting 2000 Newsletter. They are very interesting and
helpful." "I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your monthly newsletter. It is informative and quite educational. I was waiting for this one [Sept. 99 Vol. 1] to come out and enjoyed each part of it. I am anxiously awaiting the piece on nudity. Keep up the great work" Nicole - struggling actress slaughter.nicole@epa.gov "Hello!!! ... Im Carlos from Miami. I just
want to tell you guys that I think FutureCasting2000 is a real good page for actors. The
other day I was reading your newsletter article on nudity [Sept. 99 Vol. 2] and I think it
was really good advice to all those people who are starting in the business." "Please send or fax advertisng rates for your
website and newseltter-enclose a copy of a past issue. After we have had time to discuss
your submission we will be in contact ... we feel your site is an asset to the industry
and is very well done! Thanks in a advance." "I am an AOL member and I just found out about
this site, and I love it. Keep up the good work." "Hi, my name is Podessa and my friend Judith
referred your website to me. Both of us are into acting. I am interested in signing onto
your website to get my headshots and resume seen by agents. At the moment I entered your
website, I had to go through all the details, newsletters and everything. I received a lot
of info I didn't know and I thank you and your website for enlightening me. I hope my
career soars because it is my dream. Some do it for the money, others the fame, for me
it's satisfaction for my soul. Thank you." "Dear Future Casting 2000: I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your publication! What a great resource for actors, crew and others who want to work in or are just want to know more about the "ins and outs" of the acting industry. And its pretty amazing to me that we can get this information free of charge when others have attempted to provide similar information and charged for it! A friend of mine told me about your publication and I pass along the word whenever I can to other actors who are looking for information about casting, jobs or the industry in general. The last couple of newsletters (October 1999 and November 1999) in particular have resonated with me. I am definitely "working against type." Although I have been involved in performing almost all my life, I got involved in the acting part of the business very late -- in my thirties, after college, law school and being firmly entrenched in a full-time day job. So believe me, there are times when I feel that I am truly swimming upstream against outdated perceptions about "looks" and who can best "deliver." However, I have gotten some wonderful opportunities in this business and my goal is to move from being a full-time day job person to being a full-time actor. With perserverance, hope and a lot of hard work, I have every expectation that my dream will come true. It helps a lot when I see newsletters such as the recent ones about the potential for being someone's right type, no matter what you look like. The article about being a one person business was also very helpful. I do think of myself as a business, with marketing assignments, financial and time management issues and professional development priorities. As far as I am concerned, I have TWO full-time jobs. My full-time day job and my full-time acting job. When I'm not working as an actor, I still have work to do. I have to look for ways to maximize audition opportunities through better marketing and I have to look for classes that will help me get to where I want to go. It is hard, sometimes, to find the energy I feel I need to work on acting as much as I want. It's a constant struggle against day-time demands. So its good to get a little encouragement. Anyway, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the quality of your publication, the
newsletters and especially for the audition notices. Please keep up the good work!!"
