Mariko Ballentine Casting
Every casting director works with the same pool of talent. So what makes one casting director different from another?
• Experience
• The ability to really listen and understand what a client is looking for
• The ability to think outside the box
• The ability to create a safe atmosphere for actors
• Having a good working relationship with agents
• Maintaining a sense of humor!
Since 1984 I’ve loved being able to help my actors give their best audition. Sometimes it's by leaving the actor alone, other times it's by identifying that the actor needs to be reeled-in, or that yet another actor needs permission to let it all hang out. My clients trust me and my opinion about actors. My clients know I will leave no stone unturned in order to find just the right actor for their spot.
