What Casting Directors are Really Looking for but won't Tell you 

Isaac Gooden Im considering taking her class, based on your comment, I assume you definitely recommend??

Insecurity is indeed a character, use it!

@@AI-AITUM that’s not what I meant, I’m not insecure by nature, I’m content to be my own person in other words

@kforest2745 "the me that is me now, would find something wrong about the interesting me" 🤔 Then maybe rephrase it? Because that's just the definition of insecurity which in other words means, lack of confidence to have the interesting you act. Or else you would just be interesting (you) and, act. Just sayin...really trying to understand what you mean.

@@AI-AITUM it refers to ego. If you know about ego you know that ego doesn’t say oh look at me I’m interesting. It sounds stupid right.

@@AI-AITUM and if someone else should say that they consider someone else interesting (rather than themselves) well then that’s a different thing but it doesn’t mean the person considered interesting should say ‘oh look at me I’m interesting’ either. It is what it is so simply leave it at that don’t try to inflate it kind of thing because that’s where it overshadows everything. There’s more important things to actually think about in other words.

Exactly. She said a whole lotta nothing 💀

@@donting24 she thought she did sum huh 😭

And what is your experience

What she said is also true though. I seen videos saying to be yourself because they want to see the kind of person you are. Therefore, she did do something.

What have you booked lately?

So, you just assume NONE of the CDs have every dabbled or tried an acting career themselves...and you say on God they don't care?? Hmm interesting. You sound like the very thing you're describing to simply assume that CDs don't know the craft and further claim they don't care. Js a lot of them have tried that career path themselves but found it wasn't for them or somehow drifted into Casting...in other words, you don't know yourself what they know, let alone put it on God 🙄. Not to mention that ultimately the final decision doesn't involve the CDs anyway, so just from what you wrote, you are a hypocrite because you're alleging the CDs have more power than what they actually have and you don't know what they need to know, but they do have the knowledge of what to look for in what the Producers and Directors want from the actor and tbh that doesn't necessarily have to do with how great the acting is at all; that's taken care of further down the line with callbacks. But the CDs do know what is wanted because they are in close works with (Producers and Directors) with the people you don't know as an actor.
