What Do Casting Directors Look For In An Actor?

Hopefully the begining actors didnt make a bad impression.

Hopefully the beginning actors made a bad impression on the connections and judges before they even get role in acting so many stages to that process of acting. Thank GOD , Jesus Christ im not an actor😊

does accent matter a lot? I am not native speaker...

Why do some some former award winning soap opera actors and actresses struggle to find work

Can people do audition on online

I'm a ten year old who loves acting and is really for for her age and this helps alot cause i knew that I don't know everything

From preparation what do you mean? Like Meisner technique or just prepared with lines and readings

So it's just a job interview?

I hope God sees all aspiring actors through

Love this!! Straight forward…..

Common sense professionalism 👏🏽

Good advice...Normal meaning just relax and be your best self.

I mean the main part has got to be their looks i mean lets be real

Tripping up during an audition is common/natural; this doesn't mean that they "didn't prepare". Literally any/everyone auditioning wants to be exceptional. Conditioning from previous auditions can have negative effects. Besides the obvious, unfortunately this short segment doesn't help much. Break a leg everyone <3

I love it!! "Be professional and be normal!" That just made my day. Saving that!

And what has she casted for? Why should I care who she is?

Huh

hmmmm Id be there in a second never late, early if anything....

She seems like a pleasant individual.

Would definitely hire her.

A question nobody seems to be asking. What do casting directors think about an actor's website? Do they prefer it to be plain and to the point with ease of navigation so they can find, video and head-shots in one click? Do they care how "pretty it looks"? Or does that matter?

🥺🥺🥺
I did everything, but not selected. What else casting director see.
Can you interview a casting director.

Confident, preparation, personality, easy to work with.
So they are not looking for acting skills.

I am a born stutterer. How can I become an actor without stuttering.

I'm going through the same..nobody knows that being an actress & a singer is my biggest dream. I'm about to start college & I have chosen the nurse career but i don't want to be it, I just chose it cause it's one of the highest paying job & just in case I don't have good luck in acting career. I might do acting after nurse career but i don't know if it will be worth taking the nurse career. I'm so confused. I want to be stable & be able to afford a good life to my future kids. I once told my counselor that I wanted to be a singer &actress, all she said was "well you have to reach out on social media & become noticible, so that a company will notice you" I told her I'm a shy person, she was like " you will have to find something else you are interested in" I feel like I had no hope & I feel like nobody believes in me. So that's why I chose nurse . & im afraid people will judge my body & face, cause im not beautiful wirh a models body. I don't know I don't what to do😔😔 Someone has advice??

Thank you i will definitley need this i am doing acting and i dont know what they want from me so thank you very much

Noted, just don’t apologize

She sounds a like a judgmental bitch with 0 empathy

🙏🙏

im using backstage to apply for a competition show thing for kids and after I apply I don't know what to do
