When it comes to breaking into the industry, understanding what a casting director (CD) looks for in a headshot and resume is crucial. It’s equally important to familiarize yourself with the best practices for finding and approaching auditions, as well as the nuances between agents and managers—do you need both, or just one? Knowing the differences can significantly shape your path. Additionally, mastering the self-submission process involves being aware of do's and don'ts, along with grasping what a CD expects from your audition, whether it's live or self-submitted. After you've submitted your audition, knowing the next steps can be a game-changer, all while keeping in mind the broader business aspects of the entertainment industry. Instructor’s Bio: D.
