Brava! Each and every point you make is something I’ve been trying to make clear to every actor with a career mission and a dream as well as to the casting community writ large — for the past 20+years. As our industry changes, your comments are even more salient and the need for workshops to disappear event more critical.

As a community, casting directors ignore your advice at their own professional peril; for actors, their support of the workshop scheme only diminishes their worth as artists.

Thank you for your insight.
