Casting

Casting refers to the process of selecting and appointing actors for roles in a film, television show, play, or other performance. It involves auditioning potential candidates, reviewing their performances, and determining who best fits the character requirements in terms of look, skill, and chemistry with other cast members. The casting process is critical in the production of visual and performing arts as the selected actors are responsible for bringing the script to life and engaging the audience. Casting can also extend to choosing performers for live events, commercials, and other entertainment formats. Additionally, the term can refer to the technique used in metalworking and other industries where material is shaped by pouring it into a mold. However, in the context of performing arts, it primarily focuses on the selection of talent.
