02What Manhattan casting offices look at
Members of Actors' Equity Association and the wider talent pool listed on Casting Networks have to publish at least two distinct register reads. A commercial face crops loose and lights warm; a character face crops tight and tolerates more shadow. The Casting Society of America speaks publicly about how range breadth shifts callback rates, particularly for performers chasing commercial-plus-prestige catalogues. Coverage in Variety on casting workflows has tracked how same-day submission cadences compress traditional headshot refresh cycles.
