Casting Directors
Casting Directors organise and facilitate the casting of actors for
all the roles in a film. This involves working closely with the Director
and Producer to understand their requirements, and suggesting ideal
artists for each role, as well as arranging and conducting interviews
and auditions. Once the parts are cast, the Casting Director negotiates
fees and contracts for the actors, and acts as a liaison between the
Director, the actors and their agents.Casting Directors must have
an extensive knowledge of actors and their suitability for a particular
role. On larger productions, Casting Directors may supervise Casting
Assistants, who will support and assist them in this work. Casting Directors organise and conduct interviews and auditions for each
part, and are also in charge of offering each actor an appropriate fee
to appear in the film, as well as drawing up and negotiating the terms
and conditions of contracts with agents, once casting is complete.
Casting Directors need a vast knowledge of a huge range of actors, and
an extensive understanding of their abilities, as well as a thorough
appreciation of changing talent trends within the film industry.
