How do I deal with not getting a cast?
Five Methods for Dealing with Rejection

Is getting a callback a good thing?
Callbacks can help to check chemistry between students. Callbacks can give you the chance to try different pairings to see what works well. Try having different pairs read scenes together, and then mix up the pairings and try them again. You’ll have a clearer vision of what pairings work well (or, don’t work at all!).
How do you deal with disappointment in casting?
Allow your child to feel upset and disappointed. Encourage them to express their feelings. Focus on the positive! Remind your child how much they have improved since beginning or how well they felt after the audition.
Can you get cast without a callback?
If you don’t receive a callback, that doesn’t mean you won’t be cast in a great role. It just means the directors gathered enough information during your initial audition to cast you without seeing you again.
What happens after a callback?
After the callback is finished, selects are generally made right then and there. There’s likely a YES pile of digital photos accumulated, and all the powers-that-be watch those auditions again because our brains are usually mush by then. Sometimes, it’s easy to make the selects, sometimes it’s not.

How long after callback do you hear?
When will you get called back? Schachter: Usually it’s within two or three days. On rare occasions you can hear back a week later or even longer.
Should you wear the same outfit to a callback?
Do exactly what you did in the first audition and wear exactly the same outfit, whether it’s for a film, TV show, theater production, or a commercial. The casting director brought you back because your type and performance worked for the character and for the tone of the show.
What color should you not wear to an audition?
For on-camera auditions, avoid wearing red, white or black. White is a no-no for the camera because it tends to create a green shadow around you and glares.
