In the room: Robin Carus, casting director; Cody Lassen, producer (How I Learned To Drive, A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, Indecent, Spring Awakening Deaf West revival); Denis Jones, director/choreographer (Tony noms for Tootsie and Irving Berlin's Holiday InnHoneymoon in Vegas; plus Kennedy Center Guys and Dolls, NY City Center ENCORES Paint Your WagonEurydice at The Met); and Tamra Pica, casting director and indie producer. Many actors are terrified of auditions, others love the process. Not all of them understand it from a casting person's perspective. We've invited 2 casting directors, a producer and a director-choreographer – the three main voices in the process – to share their experiences, both live and virtual. And how they differ. Who does what, best practices for running a professional session, what they each look for and what they each wish every actor would know when they come into the room. Part of the TRU Audition Conference for Theater (ACT)Click here to register and receive the zoom link.
