Gold and Platinum

Live Casting Director Q&A

Every month a working film or TV casting director joins us live on Zoom. No scenes, no pressure. You get to ask the questions you would never get to ask in an audition room.

What happens on the call

It is an open conversation, not a workshop. Our host (usually Andrew) introduces the casting director and asks a few questions to get things going. Then the floor is yours.

  • Ask about their office, their projects, what they look for and what makes them call an actor back in.
  • Nobody performs a scene, so there is nothing to prepare except your questions.
  • Please keep it professional: no asking the casting director to meet for coffee or lunch.
