Map of commercial CDs
16 July 2010
Actors: If you’re new to town, or if you’re new to targeting commercials, you can turn to many paid online and print sources to learn who casts commercials in Los Angeles and where they work. The trouble is, these lists aren’t visual, and they contain long lists, while the reality is that the few, busiest commercial casting directors do most of the work.
Take a look at this map I made over on the Google. It shows the busiest commercial casting locations in LA. This is handy information! But not complete. Some of these are drop-off friendly, others are not. Some good commercials do get cast elsewhere. But most commercial actors are going to one of these places whenever they get an audition from their agent.
Good luck!

Testing, testing. This is — by far — the most popular post on my blog for a long time. Are comments working?

You’re welcome, Brandi!
NEW AND IMPROVED! Note that as of today, I updated this map. It was missing a couple of key locations and it had some names on it of people no longer working.
