Nancy Bishop in Casting Symposium

July 25th, 2008 at 05:19pm brian

Nancy has posted a transcript of a casting symposium she lead in Scotland. A group of international casting directors and agents (Maureen Duff, John Hubbard, Maryam Hunwick, Priscilla John, and Derek Power) took part as the panel. They covered topics such as:

• Why are Scotish actors so good and prominent on the international scene,
• the casting director’s relationship with the actor,
• how actors can be more proactive in getting work and getting noticed by an agent,
• what if you have a UK agent and want to work internationally,
• how to get in to see a casting director,
• getting an O1 visa (for actors looking to work in America),
• what to do about travelling for an audition in a different city
• Plus questions from the audience.

There are photos from the symposium on Nancy’s site.
