Here’s a little insight into the various processes and approaches of casting directors.
What do you see as some of the challenges of casting right now, especially in the digital era?
“Martin Ware: In a world where self-tapes are quite a large part of the industry, it’s difficult for actors to develop relationships with casting people in the kinds of ways we used to. It’s not good for actors and it’s not good for casting directors either; we can lose that personal relationship. We’re trying to find ways to being in the same room again, and seeing the whites of their eyes more often. It’s not only about how good an actor they are — you’re sending a person on a job and you need to understand who they are and if they’ve changed since you were in a room together 10 years ago.”
How do you approach self-taping? How is it for you to work with no interaction or direction from a Director?
