People who are entering the acting business have considerable misunderstanding on how the casting process works. The best way to explain this is to use a fictional example.

Let's say that the daytime soap producers called "Sullivan Street" are getting scripts for just one of the next month's episodes. In this episode, there is a new letter under the name of "Tara". She is a real skier who seduces the stars of the show.

What the producer first does calls the casting director they are using for many years and describes the characters, Tara, to him. Immediately the casting director is already keeping some people in mind He has worked in the past, but he still submits the explanation to the breakdown service. This is a company that acts as a link between the casting director and the agent.

Next morning, all agents read the "Breakdown" sheet and check which part is cast. The agent examines the file and checks whether there is a person who conforms to the description. He selects some pictures and sends them to the casting director.

Casting director receives all these envelopes from all these agents and there are tons of them. Casting director needs to go see hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures "Tara" And then, even if the pictures look great, the cast director saw the accompanying resume and the work of the actress went See what kind of body. Finally, the casting director squeezes these hundreds of photos to about 30 and calls these agents for audition.

The agent invokes the client and communicates the audition, time and location. He may send sample scripts to them or have him come to his office to pick them up.

After this, the actress goes to the audition, probably nervous as a unit.I will dress up the way she thinks that cod should wear. She wants to get the character at once. While waiting for her audition she will take time to go above her line.

Finally, she makes it in the office of the casting director and makes her reading for parts. She is doing well, but she is not too hopeful because she had other measurements during the week for other parts she did not get.

After the audition, I will be back home and waiting. In a day she gets a phone call from her agent who likes her audition and they want her to come back for the second one She's excited

She returns for the second audition and reads the same part again and is better than the first time. She is positive affirming that she is going to get that part. Then in the last minute, the producer who is the second audition will decide that cod should be blonde instead of brunette.

Yes, that is how it goes. Sometimes you will lose parts, because you are wrong height, hair color or something really stupid. Later, after a month, they call you back to read for the role of starring the new series they are putting together. This is a way for carriers to be made and broken in this business, there is no logical reason just for insanity. Everything you can do is go to hope for flow and best.
