Whether you\u2019re a British actor with your sights set overseas or an international actor looking to improve your chances in the UK, casting directors Rich Mento (US), Victor Jenkins (UK), Beatrice Kruger (Europe) and Nathalie Cheron (France) were happy to share their\u00a0advice.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a taster of what was discussed:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">Do the craft in your own country first. You need to understand who you are as an actor and work out that bit first.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Victor Jenkins<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Casting Director (UK)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>How do your processes for finding actors vary?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Rich Mento:<\/strong>\u00a0My job as a casting director is to get to know everyone in the world who is an actor or who may one day be an actor. I\u2019ll never be done and that\u2019s a wonderful thing &#8211; It\u2019s exciting! It\u2019s recommendations, it\u2019s agents, it\u2019s people I\u2019ve worked with before, it\u2019s people I meet on the street, it\u2019s theatre I go to, it\u2019s television and film that I watch, it\u2019s people that reach out to me, it\u2019s people I go looking for. You never know what your next project is, and you never know what types of people you\u2019re going to need.<\/p>\n<p><em>The same is true for Victor Jenkins in the UK, and Beatrice Kruger who casts in Italy and Germany. Self-tapes have been invaluable to all three of them in helping to get a better sense of the actor personally, and in allowing them to get through more actors than they would in auditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nathalie Cheron:<\/strong>\u00a0In Paris, there are between 16,000 to 18,000 actors, and I think you have 70,000 actors on Spotlight, right? I mean, voila! That\u2019s where the difference is. That\u2019s why we do mostly physical casting, and we love physical because there are less people on the market.<\/p>\n<p>The only times I ask for a self-tape is when the actor is not in Paris. The French are not totally ready for self-tapes. It took me twice the time, because I got the self-tapes, and I had to call every actor to say, &#8220;Okay, it\u2019s great, but we will have to do it again because your back is in the window, I can\u2019t see you, the phone is too far, I can\u2019t hear you.&#8221;\u00a0You have to tell them to name the videos and it takes an hour with every actor.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Is it important for actors to have an agent in your countries?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Beatrice Kruger:<\/strong>\u00a0I work a lot with Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Slovenian [actors] \u2013 lots of Eastern European countries, and these European countries, they never have agents. An agent is a typical capitalistic job, right? So in the communist times, it was the\u00a0Writers Bureau or the Work Bureau that took care of the actors. There was never a need for an agent.<\/p>\n<p>There are still many incredibly well-educated, well-trained actors, they come from the really hot ground of all the theatre history and all that, but they don\u2019t have agents. So for me, it\u2019s completely the same, agent or without agent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nathalie Cheron:<\/strong>\u00a0We all know that not everyone can have an agent. It\u2019s okay, we will deal with it. It\u2019s just that people who don\u2019t have an agent complain that they\u2019re not aware of what we\u2019re doing, but we don\u2019t advertise what we\u2019re doing. Except for commercials [which are] really specific searches that are really bizarre.<\/p>\n<p>We go through our files, our data, of course, agents and our Facebook pages. But if we\u2019re looking for a 25-30 years old girl or boy for an important part, we won\u2019t advertise for it because we have so many to deal with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rich Mento:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019ll depend on the size of the project. For me, casting always expands to the time that you give it and so if I need someone tomorrow, I will call the agents that I know and trust and who\u2019s available and who can take the job.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re doing a very high profile project, it\u2019s unlikely if you\u2019re not a completely unique type that unrepresented actors will be seen. But if you\u2019re doing a smaller project or commercials and things like that, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an actor who\u2019s doing good work, an agent or a manager will find you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Victor Jenkins:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s such a big market here [in the UK] that it\u2019s harder if you don\u2019t have an agent. Agents are the norm. Absolutely in Europe and Russia, it\u2019s about actors just representing themselves and who they know and Facebook is used quite a lot in those countries. But not in the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">actors are not always aware [that there\u2019s a difference between] communicating in another language and then acting in the language<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">Nathalie Cheron<\/div>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorDescription\">Casting Director<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>How should UK graduates go about entering the market in your countries?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Rich Mento:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes the world is getting smaller, yes it\u2019s a global marketplace, but there\u2019s a lot going on where you live. Start there. If an American production wants you or needs you, then we will find you. We have colleagues all over the world helping us on larger productions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Victor Jenkins:<\/strong>\u00a0In terms of trying to find a market outside of your own country, do the craft in your own country first. You need to understand who you are as an actor and work out that bit first. Everyone has their own actors \u2013 why would you have a 22-year-old from the UK who happens to speak French when you\u2019ve got a French actor who\u2019s 22?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nathalie Cheron:<\/strong>\u00a0The problem is actors are not always aware [that there\u2019s a difference between] communicating in another language and then acting in the language, and I think that if you speak other languages, maybe you could do a little video with the language that you speak fluently so we have an idea of your level of skill with the language.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t try to overrate yourself. It\u2019s sometimes not that they [actors] want to lie, but they don\u2019t realise they won\u2019t be free enough to act in another language. Do your own job in your own country and get visibility in your country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beatrice Kruger:<\/strong>\u00a0For Italy, and for every country really, if you\u2019re looking for actors, you can go on the internet and find actors. I use a lot of casting sites because I\u2019m curious. As an actor, you should take the time and sit down and really fill in your profile in every single detail. Sit down and think, &#8216;Okay, what can I do, and how well can I do it?\u2019 It might take half a day, or two days, or even a week maybe, but then when you\u2019ve done that, your profile can work for you. Many casting directors use platforms to search for actors. If [your] details aren\u2019t complete, then those details can\u2019t show up in searches. It\u2019s something that the actor can do, and the agent cannot do that.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from America and England, where it\u2019s always the English language, I think that every other actor from another country should, if they want to work outside their country, definitely learn English and should always continue to improve it. Because the thing is, we all have an accent, and depending on what kind of a project it is and what kind of a role it is, people get bored of listening to accents that are strong. The better and more fluid you speak English, the greater roles you can get. If you\u2019re really interested, you have to study.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What advice can you give for Spotlight members who want to find out more about acting in your countries?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Rich Mento:<\/strong>\u00a0My advice to actors [in the UK] and actors globally would be to take to your search engine and do some searching. There are podcasts and webinars and amazing members of worldwide casting organisations reaching out to actors. You can learn a lot from listening to casting directors talk about their craft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beatrice Kruger:<\/strong>\u00a0We had a Greek agent who decided to come to Italy and present her actors, and invited some of us casting directors to Athens and had all of her actors meet them. She facilitated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Victor Jenkins:<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s so much stuff online now. What Spotlight offers is great. There are so many conversations and webinars online. You can do your research on individual casting directors and do your research into actors. It\u2019s a constant learning thing. The good thing about acting is that it\u2019s something that will be there forever and will constantly change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nathalie Cheron:<\/strong>\u00a0You don\u2019t want to work in France until you speak totally French. When I work on international projects, if I work for foreign casting directors, it\u2019s because they are searching for a French character. Otherwise, maybe there will be one character once in a while who is Danish or Spanish, and it doesn\u2019t matter if they have an accent or not, but then you have to be totally fluent in French.<\/p>\n<h4>About the panellists:<\/h4>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0472561\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beatrice Kruger<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is a casting director based in Rome where she casts Italian and international films.
