DAYTIME DRAMAS / “SOAPS”
-
Notes:  Soaps fall under AFTRA contracts.  Each show has its own casting director for background commonly referred to as “Atmosphere” on Soaps.  Mail your headshot & resume and they will contact you if they would like you to work.  There is no registration process and no fees involved. 
-
Once you have worked the show you will most likely be given an availability line to call in the future.  Most of the Background Casting Directors on Soaps also cast “U/5” roles (under- five lines, principal / speaking parts).
