Usually only get this level of transparency from former casting directors, so this was refreshing and useful.

Great video, very informative. One quick note. uncredited on IMDB does not necessarily mean that a role was extra work. The producers are only required to credit a certain number of performers. I have a number of principal roles on film and television projects that are noted on IMDB as uncredited. I was even credited on some of those role's an yet they show up as uncredited.

I'm not a casting director, but I think it's a little strange to be that picky about IMDB roles. Imdb isn't just a tool for casting. It's an archive. I think extras in media should be credited in some way, and I think IMDB is the best place to do it I mean no offense, that's just my unprofessional opinion

I tell my fellow actors to put their BEST stuff up front in their reel not minutes into it. Great interview, Anne and Erica.

This openness, and the insights Erica shares with us all, are priceless jewels, for actors that want to grow, in the craft. Thank you again, for keeping these videos ongoing.

Thank you for the feedback, however NO when you are uncredited doesn’t necessarily mean you are an extra . I auditioned for a tV show and was given lines but at the end of working and being on the show as a principal for a few weeks my scene was not shown so they didn’t credit me but I still got a contract and been receiving residuals for the show for a few years . So No you are incorrect in that !

A question nobody seems to be asking. What do casting directors think about an actor's website? Do they prefer it to be plain and to the point with ease of navigation so they can find, video and head-shots in one click? Do they care how "pretty it looks"? Or does that matter?

I'm pretty sure most people are putting Extra/Background work on their IMDB page when they are starting out and want to show On-Set experience. I think most beginning actors want to convey that they know the rhythms of being on-set and terminology used, etc. And yes, I have one Background/Extra - Uncredited entry on IMDB that they just refuse to remove. I've tried everything, and it's frustrating.

Uncredited also means the role was poss “CUT” out and therefore the actor didn’t get the credit.

My question to the casting directors is, How do you feel about postcards? I had some good experience with them, however how do most of them,CD, feel about them. Thanks!

I was wondering, what do casting directors look for or what are they hoping to access if you will in those in 5 to 15 seconds of clicking through the reel?

@barrelbarry9940 4 жыл бұрын

just talent I imagine. a range of emotional depth. believability in those 5-15 seconds, can you capture their attention, or break their heart, make them laugh? That may be an ambitious thing to try and achieve for only 5 seconds (when casting goes through thousand of reels) but I think it is doable.

In relation to indb "uncredited" or extra work, I can see where a cd would move on to other info, but as for being a negative credit I believe that is ridiculous. You should be proud of whatever you do. Period. Many successful actors have got their hands dirty in the trenches and many have not.

“I humbly disagree, “Uncredited” does not always mean “extra” - speaking for myself, I was cast in 2 co-star roles in which my agent did not negotiate an end credit, therefore IMDb rules only allow “uncredited.” It’s not fair, but better than receiving no credit.
