The Confessions of a Casting Director

UW-Madison alumna Jen Rudin, author of The Confessions of a Casting Director, will go into the do’s and don’ts of film auditions. Drawing on her experience with Pixar, Walt Disney, and other production companies, Rudin will go into what it takes to pull off a successful audition, the difference between auditioning for animation versus on-camera roles, how to prepare for being in a casting director’s office, the basics of audition etiquette, the dynamics between casting directors, directors, and studio executives, and stories about some of the many actors she’s worked with.
