At times, the producers have too many demands that require their attention. At other times, they don’t provide much direction at all.
Casting directors must consider every detail that accompanies each production and the actors involved. They also need to be aware of the potential talent out there, so they attend theater productions and even graduation shows to truly get to know actors with promise.
