certain ass face directors

While some people would appear to make much of different approaches across the spectrum of the industry, i'd share my own experiences that three of the most respected pro directors i know will 1) always call everyone personally; 2) send unsuccessful auditionees a letter of thanks; 3) adopt a "we'll call you" attitude.

I remember one particular professional audition a few years ago that must have seen almost everyone in this admittedly small town, but an acquaintance who didn't perform at their best due to illness was invited to come back a few days later and audition again!!

Oddly enough, the most appalling experience of a cattle call audition i've had was for an amateur musical.

I guess provided you let your auditionees know what to expect, they can't claim to be too disappointed if you do as you say.

Cheers
