Oscar winner Olivia Colman says self-taped auditions don't allow actors to receive feedback and form an in-person rapport with casting directors.
In a conversation with her "Fleabag" co-star Andrew Scott for the Interview magazine, Colman weighed in on the entertainment industry's growing dependence on audition tapes.
The practice, which was a stumbling block in collective bargaining negotiations between SAG-AFTRA (actors guild) and the AMPTP (producers alliance) in 2023, gained widespread popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Colman, it's "disrespectful and rude" to ask actors for self-taped auditions.
“It라이브 바카라 very disrespectful. It라이브 바카라 basically a memory test, isn’t it? Because they give it to you really late. It라이브 바카라 really rude. I can see how it라이브 바카라 easier for them not to have to do things in the flesh, but I wouldn’t have gotten where I am if I’d had to do self-tapes, because I used to go to auditions knowing that they didn’t want me, but it was so much fun to win them over,” she said.
Scott echoed Colman라이브 바카라 sentiments.
Recalling his early days of submitting audition tapes, the "Ripley" actor added: “I used to go into the post office on Denmark Street (in London) and buy myself a zippy bag or whatever, put my videotape in and send it off to America for some f* thing I was never going to get. It라이브 바카라 horrific. And then you wouldn’t hear anything.”
