SO HOW DOES THE AUDITION PROCESS WORK??

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

SO HOW DOES THE AUDITION PROCESS WORK?? 

This is how. We get a call from a client, we are looking for blah, blah. We pick out those that "FIT" what they are looking for, we access their ability. THEN..  You come in, do your best, and you leave. At the end of the day, I send the session to my clients to review. Actors have always asked me, “Do you take actors off your session?” The answer is: Yes, sometimes. We have to. If someone comes in that I’m giving a chance,  and gives a poor performance and just cannot take the direction I give them, I have to take them off, we would look silly sending in someone that we know without a doubt is NOT going to be considered. Our clients call us for our knowledge/experience, and eye for the best talent for their project. But for the most part, it is rare that we have to take someone off from a session, because we prepare well.

After the clients—producers and director—have reviewed the session, they tell me who their selects are. If there is a callback session, I schedule their selects to come in again to audition and maybe get some additional direction from the director. Then when the callback is over, the actors leave. SO WHO MAKES THE FINAL DECISION??? ABSOLUTELY THE DIRECTOR, ALL OF THE POSITIVES AND THE NEGATIVES FALL RIGHT ON HIS/HER HEAD...SMACK. NOT MANY DO OVERS>>>
