Sue:

Not sure why you got upset. Nothing I wrote seems the least confrontational to me.

Listen all, I suspect that, one day in the not-so-distant future, a director will see an auditioner with an electronic tablet in hand. She’ll call up the person’s headshot and resume, and will browse additiona head shots, if necessary. She’ll look at what the person has done and, with the touch of a stylus, call up the name of the director if she likes, whether a role is a lead, principal, featured, etc., if she likes, and the year the production was done.

If she sees a director she knows, she might shoot him a message asking how a particular actor did in that production. Maybe she even gets an answer while the actor is still there.

And I’ll probably still be using printed headshots with an inkjet printed resume on the back ;-).
