“My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.” ShowsReadingLeftRoomsTvsDirectorsTv ShowsAuditionsCastingHallwaysCasting Directors Author:Danny Strong
“When I first started out, it was very, very difficult to even get in the room with directors or casting directors because they would see that I hadn't been to drama school and wouldn't want to see me. Now, I feel like it's changing. We have this new generation of a lot of writers, directors and actors who are just breaking through, and they're doing it for the passion.” WantFeelsFirstsSchoolPassionActorsDifficultRoomsGenerationsDramaDirectorsCastingNew GenerationCasting Directors Author:Kaya Scodelario
“I've now been doing this for ten years, and I actually got to skip a stage of going to casting directors, and now I meet with the directors, either for lunch or an audition room, and I still read sides; you're never going to get around that, but I'm not the best person to go on an audition.” YearsPersonsStillsSidesRoomsStageGoes OnDirectorsTenLunchAuditionsCastingSkipBest PersonCasting Directors Author:Carly Schroeder
“Auditioning is a funny one. It's all about energy. If you walk into a room and the room feels off or the people feel off, that can set you off. If the room is very small. I know which casting directors I should go to, because the place is conducive to doing a good job and the people are conducive and I know the other ones aren't, in which case I send in a tape.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsShouldJobsEnergyWalksRoomsCasesDirectorsTapeGood JobCastingCasting Directors Author:Max Irons
“You do see a few people and you are thinking of how that chemistry is going to work, but it's not really fair to put people who are auditioning together in a room. You have to make that judgement yourself, and that's partly where the casting director is so good. It was that blend that we were looking for.” PeopleThinkingTogetherRoomsDirectorsFairsJudgementChemistryCastingGoing To WorkCasting Directors Author:Adrian Hodges
