This was the worst request I ever got from a casting director.
Have you ever opened a casting director’s note expecting the usual details — and instead found something that made you incredibly angry?
Most notes are about slating, shoot dates, or how to label your file. But every once in a while, you get a note that has nothing to do with self-tape instructions — and everything to do with how the casting director expects you to read. In this quick tip, I share the actual request a casting director made of me — one so frustrating, I wasn’t sure I’d even audition for the project.
This is the story of the worst request I’ve ever gotten from a casting director, why it bothered me so deeply, and what I believe every actor should do when a request crosses a line.
IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN:
✅ The specific request that nearly made me turn down a feature film audition
✅ Why this kind of request puts actors in an impossible position
✅ What I did about it — and what you can do if it ever happens to you
I LOVE HEARING FROM MY ACTING FAMILY ❤️
