    Actors, how do you prefer being directed?

    Do casting directors remember bad self tapes?

    A couple years ago, I sent a really bad self tape to a huge casting director. I mean so bad that I’m pretty sure when editing it and uploading it, I forgot to cut out an irrelevant convo at the end with my reader (though might be possible they never watched...
