Panel of Casting Directors #2
We enjoyed an excellent mixer last month with our first of two panels of casting directors this year, and now it’s time for our second on Wednesday, May 9th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!
These are important Mixers for one simple reason: to learn what it takes to get cast. After all, all actors are looking for paying work, and it is the job of casting directors to find the right talent for the job. In a nutshell, these hard-working professionals are the decision makers as to who gets invited to audition for roles. Actors need to know exactly what casting directors do, how they think, what they look for, what their responsibilities are, and what they expect from actors. We’ll be offering more of that information and addressing your questions and concerns at our next Mixer on Wednesday, May 9th. So brush up your résumé & dig up your headshot and mark your calendar for May 9th.
Casting Directors on May 9th:
☆ Sally Allen of Brock Allen Casting
☆ Donise L. Hardy, CSA of A Casting Place
The program will commence with an introduction from each casting director sharing with the audience about themselves, their experience, and their companies. Then the floor will open to the audience for a Q & A session which will last approximately a half hour.
Instructions for Headshots & Résumés: Actors are encouraged to bring 2 sets of headshots & résumés (1 for each casting company), with the headshot & résumé stapled back-to-back, for placement at a designated table upon arrival, preferably prior to the beginning of the program, so that they can have your submission package to review when they leave.
See you at Opal’s on the 9th!
Last Month
We are extremely grateful to the following 3 casting directors for offering their time, energy, and insights with us on Wednesday, April 11th. They explained what they need and expect from actors and others in our industry, and then answered each question posed by our attendees with passion and clarity, and we owe them all a big THANK YOU!
Toni Cobb-Brock of Brock Allen Casting and Brad Burton, CSA & Kimberly Burton, CSA of Burton Casting
