How to Audition Actors (for Your Low-Budget Film) 🎬

I recently went through the process of auditioning hundreds of actors for a creative project I'm working on, and here's what I learned in the process.

How wonderfully rare of you to prioritize acting skill over other production elements, and even tailor the script to talent in some cases. Casting is so hard for all parties concerned, but as an actor and sometimes director I found your assessments fair, and explained well.

Really cool I actually was gonna sign up for a place that supposed to make a profile for you but I didn't only because I'm always paranoid something might be false and not real didnt know places like this exist

What a fun project and a cool way to get experience in directing a cast. With this monologue format, did you do group zoom calls, did each actor know the script of the other actor’s parts?

[@RealJamesArcher]

Yeah, everyone had access to the full script so they knew what each other was doing, and we shot episodes together whenever we could so there was some overlap, but for the most part everyone come in knowing their part and we just busted through it. It worked relatively well! We're actually starting shooting Season 2 in a couple of weeks, this time with a more interactive video call format.
