"Preparedness”, casting director Benton Whitley (Stewart/Whitley Casting) shares how it’s absolutely essential to be prepared prior to any audition. Being prepared doesn’t just mean to walk in a room and read your lines or sing a song without having a clue why you’re there-- but to know as much background about the production as you can. A well-versed actor shines through to those casting directors much more than you’d think!
