Casting Calls

Casting calls are jobs and descriptions generated by a director or a casting director based on their character's breakdown. Until not so long ago all casting process was done by mailing and messenger services.

The envelopes contained a cover letter, headshots, and resume of the actor sent by his / her representative. Once the casting director viewed the packet he / she would call the actor's representative to schedule an audition.

Usually, following a successful audition will come a callback.
If the actor delivered a good convincing performance in his callback(s) he / she would most likely get the part or would be on avail.
