	Miami Casting Director provides Information for Actors
		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
		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.

	Paul Russell - New York Casting Director (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		To break into the frenetic world that a casting director is caught up in, an actor would do well to keep aware of the projects the casting director is working on and keep sending their marketing material when appropriate.
		The best way to know a casting director is to present quality work and/or ask if a casting director needs help whether it’s being a reader, audition site assistant/intern, opening the avalanche of mail received daily (there’s a good one to learn the difference between proper and poor marketing).
		Many agents and casting directors with their names on the doors do not want to be bothered with these “Paid Auditions.” Sometimes I can understand that feeling after having a knife pulled on me by an actor as part of his audition.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Obituaries / Mary Selway, 68, casting director
		Mary Selway, a casting director who matched actors with roles in films from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Gosford Park," died of cancer April 21 in London.
		She cast the residents of a funky west London neighborhood for "Notting Hill," the crew of a Napoleonic-era warship for "Master and Commander," and the occupants of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," which is targeted for release in late 2005.
		Selway once said the chief emotion felt by casting directors was guilt that they could not know all the actors in the world.

		That's why I think it's important for a casting director to be courteous and understanding and to give the actor his best shot, to not let the fact that there might be a great director sitting there throw the actor or actress off their stride.
		Casting for television was the greatest training ground a person like myself could have because you only had a few days to cast an episode, and what if all the people you wanted were unavailable or wouldn't work for the money or didn't want the part?
		Some directors are touchy about handing over the whole script, but at least (they provide) information about the other characters in the scene with them.

	Movie Extras - Casting Solutions for Actors and Movie Extras
		A Casting Director is a person hired by the producers of a show to find talent for the show.
		Casting Directors have to find the best possible cast out of thousands of available actors, and must always keep up to date on the newest and hottest faces.
		It can help if you think of your audition as a mini-performance-as if the casting person(s) are the audience, looking forward to being entertained, and you are the same actor you are when you've rehearsed a role enough to feel totally confident when you get up on the stage and perform it.

		A meeting at a one-on-one or Actors Connection type situation is how it can begin and then the casting director will explain the best way to stay in touch.
		If a director or theatre I work with is mentioned in the cover letter I will keep it and ask the theatre about this actor but a blind headshot is a waste of the actor's time and money.
		If a casting person has called you in directly, ask them to get you the breakdown with the audition material-not an unusual request as far as I am concerned.

		I also did the Texas casting on BLAZE, which was a Disney film, and through those tapes I sent to Disney in conjunction with Blaze they just paid attention I guess, and when one of the casting directors was leaving the department they flew me out to interview.
		However, and I have thought about this a lot, as an actor I have benefited from casting director classes and workshops while I also have fretted over whether or not my not having taken a particular casting director's workshop might be the reason that s/he has not yet granted me audience for even one audition.
		I don't feel it should have to be seen that way at all, as long as those same casting directors do not require it of an actor to take their workshop in order to be granted auditions with them.
