NEActor is:

1. A self-service public site for professional actors to:

• Promote their family-friendly work and talents to industry professionals and on Social Media.
• Create easy-to-find & easy-to-view profile pages for IPs to find and learn about them.
  • Each actor's page reflects their talents and professionalism as an actor, model or voice artist, just like other professional acting web sites.
• Create inexpensive alternative to expensive personal web pages.
• To learn, experience and share their knowledge.

2. A site for time-starved industry professionals (IPs) such as casting directors, companies, directors, agents, film makers, etc. to find, review and contact talent.

3. A labor of love created by Bradley J. Van Dussen Click here for more information.

NEActor is not:

1. Not a place for sharing photos, videos, stories, blogs, etc "a la Facebook" that do not promote your talents nor help you get hired or called for an audition.

2. Not an employment agency. We can offer no guaranty of obtaining acting or any other work. However, you will get out of this site, what you put into it.

3. We are not a casting director or agency. Castings or auditions or jobs are often posted on NEActor, but we do not compete with Boston Casting, CP Casting, Slate Casting, etc.

Note: just being in a commercial or movie, especially as background, does not necessarily make you an actor and may not be sufficient for acceptance on NEActor.

  • $25 by check, cash or 1-time CC payments
• Minors: $24.95 with an automatic recurring payment via Credit Card (PayPal) or your bank

If you do not have a CC you may send a check payable to:

Bradley J. Van Dussen
460 State Route 23b
Hudson, NY 12534

* full refund within 1-month from date of approval.

** paying the annual fee does not absolve you of the requirement of a properly formatted profile page (see below).

Please read and have READY the following:

To keep the site as professional as possible for the industry professionals using the site to find talent, your profile can be suspended if your page lacks any of the following:

1) In most cases, a full name (first & last), is required. Unless you're Bono, Cher, Madonna or Gandhi, anyone seeking to hire you will want to know your full name and may even search on it.

2) The person submitting the profile must be at least 18 years of age; Parents: Bradley will call you after you've submitted your child's profile. Questions? try his mobile 508-341-7468.

3) A professional looking head-shot (8x10) to upload as your Profile Photo. This is the first item someone sees when reviewing your page, it must show your professionalism as an actor (an amateur photo is not appropriate).

The profile photo is only 175x175 pixels. Your head-shot should be edited (which you can do on the site) to show as much of your face as possible.

Note: not uploading a photo will result in your profile being automatically declined, unless you're a Voice Artist only.

• Don't have a professional head-shot? Contact one of our recommended and affordable head-shot photographers, right here.

4) The town or city in which you currently reside. Parents of minors please do NOT include your town.

5) Actor's Contact Info: email address and phone number in this format:

Email:

Phone: 555-555-5555

If you are a parent creating a profile for your child, please put your name and contact information, not your child’s, into this field.

6) The URL (web address) of your acting web site (optional). Examples include: Agency Pro, NY Casting, Actors Access, IMDb, iActor, YourName.com or even a dedicated "fan" or "like" page on Facebook (see example here).

• What is not appropriate: any site that is not dedicated to you as an actor. Including, but not limited to:
  • Personal Facebook pages, MySpace, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube or any non-acting work or corporate sites.

7) Age Range: your real age look. NOT what you think you could look like with makeup. Note: Industry Pros expect a 5-year range up and down from your real age. Any more, they can get skittish.

9) Performance Skills: Check the box to the left of each performance skill that you possess. Each skill you check-off should be truly easy and natural for you to perform.

10) Experience Field: a listing of your noteworthy acting work. Please do not only write "See Resume," "Upon Request" or another Web site, as Casting Directors, producers etc. will not want to spend additional time to see your experience (after writing your experience, you certainly my add a link to your resume or another web site).

You may show background work, but just background work, school, church or unknown video productions (i.e. amateur) may not be sufficient. Include production names, directors, dates and your role.

Do not write phrases, sentences or paragraphs and use the following format - copy/paste the following into your Experience field and after filling in the info, delete the [brackets]:

(Start copying below this sentence, including the <> marks)

<b>COMMERCIALS</b>

(Stop copying above this sentence)

11) Training (optional): List of any acting classes (name of teacher, casting agent, year taken, etc). This is not a prerequisite, but certainly enhances a profile that may be lacking experience.

12) Any other work, charities, events, etc. in which you're involved. Why? shows a little bit more about you and perhaps some film project needs this an actual type of worker or person.

13) Voice Artists Only Field (optional): if you are a Voice Artist you will be required to upload your professionally made demo MP3 to your page, join the Voice Talent Group and add descriptive 1-word characteristics in this field.

If you are NOT a professional voice artist or do NOT have a professionally made demo, please leave this field empty.

Please do NOT type in all capital letters. This is considered "yelling" in email and on the web, it also makes it difficult to read for the person visiting your page.

By submitting a profile you acknowledge that you have read our Terms of Service and Privacy Statements. Note: your profile, by default, is public this allows for the majority of our industry pros to find you quickly and without logging in. If you wish to keep your page "private" so only those who are logged-in can contact you, you may do this under your page's Settings/Privacy.

Suspension of Profile Pages

Non-payment:

• If your page is not renewed by the anniversary date of joining, your page will be suspended. To renew your profile page or start a new one, the reinstatement fees range from $5 to $30 depending on how much time as elapsed.

If you stop using NE Actor for any reason (you've won the lottery, exited the talent industry, etc.) tell us, we can suspend or delete your page at no cost, let us know! Otherwise you may owe a reinstatement fee.

Other Reasons:

• Not keeping your page up-to-date (really old photos, archaic resume, in operable web sites, videos not playing, etc.)
• Essentially anything that makes your page severely hard to navigate or otherwise difficult use by a time-starved industry pro.
