The casting process for an aspiring actor includes two things that are worth preparing for: a screening interview and a call back. These two, while sounding similar, are very different from each other. A screening interview refers to a short meeting whereby the casting director tries to decide if you're the best person to play the part.
A call back is the next step in the process, when you're a valid candidate to play the part but you are just called in to undergo a couple more interviews with other members of the crew. Ideally, a call back leads to you getting the part. In a call back, the casting director just wants to make sure that you have the right "chemistry" for the part.
Once you get the call, try to find out as much as you can about the interview. Ask the coordinator the names of who will be interviewing you. With this information in mind, it will give you a head start as well as prepare you for the interview that will finally seal the deal. In connection with this, research more about the film, the production company, the script, the part you will play, the other actors and most especially the director.
In a call back, aspiring actors will not only meet the casting director but all other members of the production staff as well. Since most of them will be meeting you for the first time, expect that some questions will be repeated. Just be patient and answer them thoroughly. Do not get frustrated on having to repeat the same answers.
When being called back, arrive at the venue at least ten minutes before the scheduled time. This gives you enough chance to perhaps calm yourself down. Also, if you will be arriving before that, waiting too long can get really awkward. During this waiting period, try refining how you will try to project yourself. Review your thoughts, your approach to the project.
Once you are in the interview, be smart and engaging, enthusiastic but not overwhelming. Be conscious of your body movements. Make the conversation light and go straight to the point when answering questions. Do not cut the interviewer off when he has not yet finished his sentence and avoid using "um" and "uh" in filling up gaps in your sentences. Be cool.
Expect that you will be required to read a script because, after all, this is an acting job. In connection with this, it is smart to bring extra copies of your resume as well as other documents that will show your training and acting experiences.
Because the position requires acting skills, you might be required to read a script and act it out. In connection with this, it will be best if you bring a reference list or extra copies of your resume highlighting previous acting exposures, training, and experience. Before you leave, try to recall all the interviewer's names in order for you to send a thank you note later on. This practice is acceptable and it will leave a good impression.
