Panel of Casting Directors #1
Actors often ask, “Where’s the work?” The answer is simple: via casting directors. 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 that information and more at our next 2 mixers. So brush up your résumé & dig up your headshot and mark your calendar for April 11th & May 9th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!
4 Casting Directors on April 11th:
☆ Toni Cobb-Brock & Sally Allen of Brock Allen Casting
☆ Brad Burton, CSA & Kimberly Burton, CSA of Burton Casting
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 11th!
