4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading, Nov 26 2002

I enjoy reading this book. It is useful for when you are submitting or auditioning for these casting directors since after reading the book, you know what they want. Or do you? I find people changing their minds very frequently and we as human beings are always changing. What is printed on the book, may no longer be true after a few years. However, it is interesting to read just what each person thinks an actor is or should do during auditions. I think as a whole, the book is useful because it provides some universal principles that we can all treasure and use in every aspect of our lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and Insightful, April 10 2000
By Thomas Mills - Senior Columnist, Backstage We... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Actors Encyclopedia of Casting Directors (Paperback)
While I'm not in the habit of recomending industry books, I do praise Karen Kondazian's, The Actor's Encyclopedia of Casting Directors. It's a highly practical, intelligently written work that will be an asset to any working actor or newcpmer who hopes to find work. The information dispened in the Q&A format will help you prepare for any auditon wheter it be for the particular casting director profiled or someone else you may be reading for. A quick note; not one day after reading the book I stepped into an elavator and came face to face with one of the casters profiled in the book, I'd actiually read for this person two years before but for the life of me couldn't remember her name. Then, miracle of miracles I somehow saw her face and name from the book, and was quickly able to make a proper introduction. I use the book regularly before auditons to refresh my memory as to what each casting directors' likes and dislikes are.

3.0 out of 5 stars good concepts, but not enough depth or variety, Sep 12 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Actors Encyclopedia of Casting Directors (Paperback)
This is a well intentioned book, and has 100 interviews with real life Casting Directors. But after repeating the basics over and over with 100 interviews, there is not alot of depth or additional details. The basic teachings, such as being early to the audition, being prepared, being polite, being a professional, being an enthusiastic auditioner.....well, this is repeated for the 100 interviews. It could have been a much better book, with more details, so 3 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Knowledge, Mar 4 2000
By David - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Actors Encyclopedia of Casting Directors (Paperback)
What a book! I'm a young actor(who just blew an audition) and this book showed me everything I did wrong. The best part is, w/over 100 c.s.a.'s, the same topics(what they love and hate)keep coming up, and most of them have the same likes and dislikes, so it's not the opinion of just one nut casting director. I've only read half of the book so far and I am psyched for my next audition. I believe this book could be responsible for taking my career to the next level-and anybody else who reads it and takes it seriously. Just about every c.s.a. in there has major TV, film, and commercial credits under their belts. Also, each one tells you if they accept unsolicted headshots, tapes, ect. So buy it!
