Red Flags to Watch Out For When Applying to Open Auditions

## The Dark Side of Open Calls Every month there are open auditions in Chennai that look legitimate but are anything but. ### Major red flags - They ask for money upfront (workshop fees, registration, “processing”) - The production house has no verifiable previous work - They refuse to share the director or producer names - The “audition” feels more like a long unpaid workshop - They pressure you to sign contracts on the spot ### How to protect yourself Always check the production house or director on Rosterwoods first. If they have no verified credits or presence, be extremely cautious. A legitimate production will never ask you for money to audition. ### The Rosterwoods advantage When you only apply to verified productions through Rosterwoods, you dramatically reduce your chances of walking into a scam or a waste of time. Your time is your most valuable asset. Protect it.
