Are Callbacks a Good Thing?

Callbacks give you a chance to see students again.
Depending on how many students audition, it can be difficult to make casting decisions based on one short interaction with them. ... Having callbacks gives you the opportunity to see students perform again, often in a different situation.

What does it mean if you don't get a callback?

If you don't receive a callback, that doesn't mean you won't be cast in a great role. It just means the directors gathered enough information during your initial audition to cast you without seeing you again.

What does it mean when you get a call back for an audition?
