when certain people audition for certain plays and they are not cast they still expect to receive a courtesy call from the director. manners go a long way, especially for super sensitive and shaky performers

That's my Business!

Unfortunately this has less to do with manners and more to do with expediency.

After having auditioned 50 actors for 8 roles a director's mind quickly moves on to positioning the chosen few into production mode and not making 42 phone calls to explain the casting decision to 'super sensitive and shaky actors'. Not unmannerly - just realisitic.

Al Pacino referres to auditions as "crap shoots" quite apt - the winner goes home happy but no one is going to hang around to explain why everyone else lost. It's just the way the game goes.

"I'll let you know" is actually short hand for "I'll let you know if you get IN"

I am sure I have been guilty of this in the past and probably will be in the future - but I don't think I'm going to lose sleep over it...
