Dr. Nakul Ramanna Sanjeevaiah
Abstract
The casting process is essential to the creation of movies, TV shows, stage productions, and other entertainment mediums. It entails choosing and hiring performers to play particular roles in a show. The casting process' chapter may be summed up as follows: The determination of the casting requirements for a certain project marks the start of the casting process. This entails being aware of the characters, their characteristics, and the general needs of the production. To identify the desired characteristics and attributes of the performers, casting directors, producers, and directors work together. A casting call is advertised following the establishment of the casting specifications using a variety of media, including talent agencies, casting websites, trade periodicals, and social media platforms. To be eligible for auditions, actors interested in the production send their headshots, résumé, and showreels. When shortlisting applicants, the casting crew considers each applicant's appropriateness for the positions after reviewing the provided materials. This includes assessing their current employment, experience, abilities, and physical traits. For particular roles, auditions are held for the performers who made the shortlist.
