NOTE: There are many ways to impress a Casting Director (CD). For this particular posting, I will discuss 3 of the most obvious and direct ways you can impress a CD. Either can serve as the difference of booking or not booking the role!

Below, you will find 3 different ways you can impress a CD:
DRESS TO IMPRESS!
In other words, dress the part! Don't misconstrue this with having to formally dress up to every audition. If a role you are auditioning for is that of a welder, come dressed as a welder. If you audition for the part well, a CD can gather more insight in determining whether or not you are right for the role if you come dressed for the part. Make a great impression with your dress and appearance!

KNOW THE PART!
CD's expect preparation and competition. They embrace it. If you don't follow the concept that REPETITION MAKES PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, believe me, someone else will! It's your job to move and impress the CD's with your talent! The CD's don't inform or teach you. You in fact inform and teach them with your sensational talent!
SHINE WITH YOUR ONE CHANCE!
Don't be afraid to look weird in front of a CD. Believe me, the weirder your role seems, the weirder they want you to portray it. Substitute your character's emotions for your past experiences. Practice repeatedly in front of a mirror. That will only increase your CONFIDENCE! Remember, you are in control of your audition, no one else is!
