Casting auditions take place in a casting studio. A waiting space, a viewing room where the casting director and producers can observe auditions, and a room where performers can actually perform their audition are often included. Casting directors and production firms may hold auditions in casting studios. Although managers can assist actors with auditions, their primary responsibility is to assist in directing an actor’s career and making wise choices on their projects and branding. Actors can benefit from managers’ assistance in contract negotiations and industry navigating.
A casting is a process used to find performers for a production, whereas an audition is a specific performance an actor does to be taken into consideration for a role. To discover the ideal actor for a job, a casting director may listen to hundreds or even thousands of auditions.
