AI Taking Over Casting Director Jobs?

Yes, it is true. I just spoke with a casting company in Arizona. They turned their operations over to an AI. The head casting director lets an AI do all the work. He provides the AI with what a production is looking for, and then the AI searches the casting director's database and gives him a list o...

What is the best way to set up a casting call?

Hi, I'm about to start casting for my next short film and i want to hold a casting call so i can use actors other than my personal friends. I want to know where is the best place to hold one and how do i actually find actors and get people to show up. This will be my first time holding one so any tips and feedback is welcome, thanks.

Hester Schell

Use a professional space. Set up your producer/director table. Provide a chair. Require a short monologue. Bring someone to run camera and someone else to run the lobby and door. See the chapter in the book I mentioned earlier. CASTING REVEALED. Available on Amazon.
