Hi first post here. Long time producer, first time short filmmaker.
Got some questions about actors.
1) So all these actors want to audition. But they're all asking for sides. How about the script? How come they don't want the script? How can you possibly know the character unless you read the script?
2) Who should read opposite the auditioner? Should that person try and be in character too? All day?
3) Should I figure 20 minutes per audition?
4) If we think we have a especially good actor, is it unwise to put her in make up for the audition? make up is a big part of her role.
5) Should I have a fresh pot brewing and h20?
