A casting director is the person who is tasked with the assignment of finding actors to fill acting roles in a production. Casting directors work with actors, their agents and film directors to cast the right actors and negotiate deals. Therefore, it is crucial for actors to impress the casting director, as they are the connection between the actor and the movie.

What Are Casting Directors Responsible For?
    The casting director's primary duties are:

• Holding auditions for actors
• Helping directors determine which actors may be right for which roles in a movie or on a television show
• Working with the director and producer to determine the criteria for each role

What Do I Need To Do To Impress The Casting Director?
    Every casting director has a different personality, different film and television projects, and different requirements. But every casting director expects professionalism from each actor because it helps make it easier for them to hold auditions and determine which actors are good for which parts (or no parts at all). Professionalism starts with:

• Being on time for your auditions
• Reading the script (if possible) and being prepared to perform
• Bringing all necessary items, such as your resume and headshot
