The Difference Between a Casting Director and a Coordinator Casting director works as a part of the creative staff for a specific project. When casting a film/ad film/tv show, a casting director will post casting notices, contact coordinators, arrange auditions, and sort through submissions. The casting director chooses which actors will be brought in to audition. The casting director does not have final say in the casting decisions, but he/she has influence in the process and works with the producer and director to find the strongest cast. The casting director makes the offers. In some cases, the casting director will negotiate the talent contracts on behalf of the production. Coordinator represent actors. A Coordinator may see an actor in a film, ad film, play and call him/ her into the office for a meeting. A casting director or a director may recommend you to a Coordinator who will then call you in for a meeting. Also, an actor currently represented by that Coordinator may recommend you as well. These are the main ways that one finds representation by an Coordinator. Once represented, your Coordinator will submit you for casting opportunities. If you land a job through your Coordinator, he/ she will receive a predetermined percentage of your earnings (usually 10 %- 30%). Coordinator can submit you for projects that you normally would not be able to submit to directly. They also can negotiate contracts on your behalf.
