Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Concept of Casting Couch in Hollywood In the glitzy world of Hollywood, where dreams are made and fortunes are won, there exists a dark underbelly that has plagued the industry for decades - the notorious casting couch. This subchapter aims to shed light on the concept of the casting couch, its prevalence in Hollywood, and the devastating effects it has had on countless aspiring actors and actresses. The casting couch refers to the practice of demanding sexual favors in exchange for career advancement or roles in the entertainment industry. It is a despicable abuse of power, where infiuential individuals exploit their positions of authority to prey on vulnerable and ambitious talent seeking their big break. While the casting couch is not limited to Hollywood, it has become synonymous with the glitz and glamour of the film industry. This subchapter delves into the origins of the casting couch, tracing its roots back to the early days of Hollywood. It explores how the lack of regulations and accountability allowed this toxic culture to thrive, with powerful figures taking advantage of their positions to exploit aspiring actors and actresses. It also examines the role of complicity within the industry, as many turned a blind eye or actively participated in perpetuating this culture of exploitation. By highlighting real-life accounts and testimonies from victims, this subchapter aims to bring awareness to the dark secrets of Hollywood's casting couch. It explores the devastating emotional and psychological toll it takes on its victims, often leaving them traumatized, disillusioned, and with shattered dreams. It also examines the lasting impact on the industry itself, as talented individuals are denied opportunities based on their refusal to comply with these unethical demands

Book excerpt: "This is a terrific guide for young actors...I read it cover to cover and then went out and bought copies for all my kids because, truthfully, it puts an experienced eye on pretty much all of life's early encounters.” – Donald Sutherland “When I was about to go into my callback with Sacha Baron Cohen, Nancy told me, 'Just enjoy the experience; you have nothing to lose,' and she speaks a lot about that in this book. She takes the worry out of auditioning and helps us see the fun and positive side of the experience. Nancy is a true champion for diversity and I am so grateful she has opened the doors for Eastern European artists.” – Maria Bakalova Auditioning for Film and Television is a must-have guide, written from the perspective of a casting director and offering actionable advice on audition technique, scene analysis, online casting and social media. Since the first edition was published in 2009, this practical workbook has helped countless actors learn the craft of auditioning for screen. Owing to the seismic changes within the industry following on from the #MeToo movement and, of course, the impact of social media and ever-advancing technology, how auditioning and casting are conducted has radically changed. This third edition of Auditioning for Film and Television addresses these issues and how they come into play in the audition room, offering guidance on areas such as: - How actors can most professionally conduct themselves in a casting situation, and on set, when there is sexuality inherent in a role - How both interviewers and interviewees can keep the relationship clear, professional and above board - What resources are available if issues arise In addition, readers continue to benefit from the author's tried-and-tested advice that will help them to succeed in this crowded and competitive industry.
