HIGH PRAISES FOR CASTING REVEALED: A Guide for Film Directors

"When an actor walks into your audition, a director needs to find out three things immediately: Do they look the part? Do they have range? Can they take direction? Hester has written an invaluable book on the casting process that answers those questions plus she gives you the tools you need to run a proper casting session and tips on how to make the actors feel safe."Peter D. Marshall, Filmmaker, Vancouver, Canada

""Finding the right performers to bring your characters to life is no easy task... but thanks to 'Casting Revealed,' it just got a bit easier...writers and directors now have an arsenal easy-to-use tools they can use to plan their casting sessions and--more importantly--communicate to actors exactly what they're looking for."  Chad Gervich TV writer/producer: "Wipeout," "Speeders," "Foody Call," "Reality Binge"; author: "Small Screen, Big Picture: A Writer's Guide to the TV Business"

"By giving both an overview of the casting process for those new to it, as well as information for those already involved, this will help you to avoid making mistakes and casting the wrong people." Erin Corrado

"...a brisk and stern pace that allows the reader to cut through the crap and get down to the nitty-gritty of the entire process   and how demanding it can be... looking for a remotely competent performer. For anyone interested in a serious look into casting, check out this book, it's a quick, but very informative read."      Felix Velasquez, Jr. Cinema-Crazed.com
