- The Relationship between the Casting Director and the Agent Directly Relates to Talent
- By U.S. Casting Director, Terry Berland. There are many relationships involved in getting you an audition. One of those relationships is the one between the casting director and the agent. Believe it or not, even in this digital age where we, the casting directors, do not speak to agents often, it still takes a special relationship to keep things running smoothly and to be able to work in synchronicity. The casting director first gets the wording of the breakdown from the production company and then, we put it out to the agents. Many times, from our experience working with agents, we know...Read More

- The Competitive Edge! - By U.S. Casting Director, Terry Berland
- Everyone is craving to relate to Casting Directors, Producers and Directors more. Are you compromising your professional presentation package because of the digital sign of the times? Do you consider yourself just a face? If you want Casting Directors, Producers and Directors to know something about you, I am urging you to think of yourself as more than just a face. Have your picture and resume with you on hand. An actor who shows up with no picture, and certainly no resume, just thinks of themselves as a face and is showing a lack of professional respect for themselves. They are also...Read More

- A HEARTBEAT AWAY TO A BOX OFFICE HIT!
- Dear Friends,
This small Australian movie - A HEARTBEAT AWAY - which I directed, with a fabulous cast, is being released on Thursday 17th March.
Most Australian movies only last in the cinemas for 3 weeks!
This is heart-breaking.
It's partly because there is not the publicity budgets to compete with the big American Block-busters.
So A HEARTBEAT AWAY will be here, and then gone, in the blink of an eye.
Don't miss it.
Its "Magical Realism." Funny. Moving. Enchanting. And entertaining.
You can take your 12 year old nephew or your grandmother.
