Questions To Ask A Casting Director
Feb 28th, 2009 by Alan Yu
I got an e-mail notice today about the casting director workshop that I am attending next week. In the e-mail message it indicates that we should list about 3 questions that we wish to ask the casting director about anything regarding the industry.
I was trying to think of some questions and think that I have two good ones that I have always wondered about. I figured that maybe someone out there has an interesting question that I should ask too. If so, simply tell me what your question is and I will consider asking it.
Of course, I want to avoid any basic stuff such as “What does it take to be an actor”. I see this as a good opportunity to find ways and things we can do as an actor to help further our careers in the eye’s of a casting director.
