Miami Casting Director provides Information for Actors (597 words) |
 | The casting director prepares for the casting audition in what is known as the "Prep Session." If the client is a SAG signatory (required to use union talent, when available) the casting director will make every attempt to interview all suitable union talent prior to interviewing any non-union talent. |
| The casting director then looks over all the submissions and calls the agents to provide "time slots" for the various talent the casting director feels are right for the part. |
| Occasionally, a casting director will provide additional time slots to agents who have convinced the casting director that he / she has a new talent, which the agent feels is right for the part. |
| The Role Of The Casting Director (1516 words) |
| Casting directors use a combination of intuition and experience to send candidates onto call-back auditions with producers and directors. |
| Once the director and producers have decided which actors they want to hire, the casting director is the one who then negotiates money, schedules and billing with the actors or their agents. |
| Most casting directors are freelance or independent contractors and have learned their trade through an informal apprenticeship since there is no school that teaches the skill. |
