I live in a downright dead area for making movies (Seattle), so I was wondering, how do most people find their actors? I'm planning on doing some shorts, so there would be no pay, am I out of luck? Thanks.
I think you'll find that there will be a LOT of actors who will want to work on your project if you show them you take it seriously. Theatre groups are good, but don't underestimate people you may know who aren't necessarily trained as "actors". These people sometimes work better because their performances are generally more maliable since they aren't "set" in their ways. Some actors/actresses get defensive if you try to change their performance. I stress the word "audition", even if it be (and probobly should be...) informal. Casual. You want to see how you'll work with them beyond what they look like, or how they act.
