CASE HISTORIES CASTING AUDITIONS
Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Vivace/ Alana Herron Agency. I had a wonderful time meeting everyone and you all helped to make me fell incredibly welcome. Sadly for some of you it hasn't worked out this time, but I really wanted to pass on that what a fabulous job everyone did. The director enjoyed watching your auditions – and for those who we recalled the director and producer very much enjoyed meeting you in person and asked me to pass that on. Everyone was great at taking direction, very well prepared and lovely in the room to meet - all of which are skills that a lot of older actors don't have!! - and really make the world of difference. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves and your drama teachers! And just so you know, we do a lot of Children's casting on a vast amount of projects that we work on so it was brilliant to have met everyone and we will absolutely consider you all for any other roles we have that may come up in the future. Thank you so much again. All the best, Kate KATE RINGSELL RACHEL FRECK CASTING
