Selective Casting pre-screens all talent. What does this mean to you? A streamlined casting session that presents you with a select group of quality actors who are right for your particular project. We don't waste your time; we don't waste their time. This pre-screening process not only assures you are seeing the top choices, but assures their availability both time-wise and budget-wise. And - just as important as quality - when we bring an actor into your casting session, we are not only sure of their talent, but their reputation and professionalism as well.

"Selective Casting rules the day with brilliant, unconventional and on-target casting. Carol Nadell is an artist! My clients' projects are her canvas and actors her paint." --Richard DeLigter, Director, Real Productions

Casting is part of the creative process. So at Selective Casting, we give the client more than they ask for, but in a very selective way. If, for example, you are casting a judge and picture the character as a 60-year-old Caucasian man, we will, of course, bring in actors that fit that description. But because of our years of experience and because we know our talent, we may also present you with options you never thought about - maybe there's a wonderful judge who happens to be African American or perhaps a woman with a very unique quality. We not only give you what you want , but add some "selective" options to the mix.

"Carol Nadell's knowledge of and respect for actors gives her access to the highest caliber of talent in New York." --Tracey Goldblum, Agent, Abrams Artists & Associates, Ltd.

It has been said that Selective Casting doesn't have a "pool "of actors - we have a "river." Our resources never go stale. The way we see it, discovering new talent is part of our job, and so we are continually attending small theatre productions, to discover new talented actors to add to our "river" of long standing talent. And because we know our actors so well we can easily offer you actors with the special skills you need for your particular project. Whether you require a celebrity, a performer with disabilities, an on-camera spokesman, a celebrity look-alike, a comedian, a child - whatever your needs - Selective Casting has the resources to cast your project with quality talent.

"We're all in this together. I really am on everyone's side - the producer, the director and the actor. I want to make the project work. Whatever it takes, we will make it work" --Carol Nadell, Selective Casting

Because of the trusting relationship we establish with both clients and actors, it has been said, "Selective Casting doesn't 'hold' a casting session, they 'host' them." Our casting sessions are congenial, relaxed, and very conducive to the creative process for everyone involved. In this environment of mutual respect, our actors are able to give the best audition possible.

For the short film "I Remember," by David Chartier and Avi Zev Weider, Selective Casting was given the challenge to cast one character at the age of six, fifteen and twenty-five - as well as cast his father and grandfather. This was the result.
