Question:

How is the cast picked for Saturday Night Live?

What credentials do they usually have? How are they discovered? Where do I audition?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best thing to do, is go up and start acting on stage after or before the show begins.

even if it s with pretend folks.

you ll be noticed, when your asked to leave the stage, tell them why your doing it , see what happens.

do it with your spark of wanting to be who you are, and don t give up if you have to do it every single night its on.

do what you want in life.
