What is involved at a casting or audition?
A All the agencies are informed of the times of the auditions or castings for that day. They will have been told what the assignment is going to be. When you telephone into your agency your booker will give you the details of the auditions and castings that you are expected to attend. More often than not the casting/ audition will be held between certain times such as from 10 am to 1pm or 12 noon to 3pm you will probably have to wait in a queue amongst the hundreds of other models who have turned up in the hope of successfully obtaining that assignment. There may be hundreds attending for just one job! You will be asked to show your portfolio to the person or number of people at the casting/ audition, you may be asked to walk and turn or pose in front of a camera for test shots. You must leave your Model / Comp Card at these things so that the people deciding can remember who they have seen. You will not be told at the casting if you are successful or not. You just have to carry on to
