CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
THE AUDITION TOTEM POLE & SLATING
The job of an actor is to audition. But what do I do when I arrive? Casting Directors have a secret expectation when you first walk in the door.
Professional Casting Directors expect auditioning actors to follow a specific set of instructions when they arrive. Understanding the Audition Totem Pole will ensure that you impress Casting Directors with your range and adaptability.
