Casting director Ken Lazer has 20 years of experience casting television commercials, industrials, TV shows, films, webisodes, voice-overs, reality TV, and more. Since he always wants actors to give their best performance, he is offering his advice for actors who are called in to audition for Ken Lazer Casting in New York."When I'm auditioning new talent, I like to see how real and natural they can be," Lazer says. "There's nothing worse than seeing an actor perform commercial copy as if they are reading it." He adds, "I want actors to do well. It's important to me that an actor is relaxed during the audition process. I'm a strong believer that we are a 'team.' If an actor gives a great performance, then I look good to my client. So I do my best to make actors feel welcomed to my sessions, to put them at ease."Lazer advises auditioning actors.

When Ken Lazer got his first job in casting, he looked at it as a learning opportunity—and a chance to get paid—on his way to pursuing an acting career."I thought it would be great as a recently graduated acting student to see what really happens behind the camera," he says. Having earned his Bfa in theater at the University of Miami, Lazer was hired as a casting assistant by casting director (and fellow U. of M. graduate) Lori Wyman in Miami. But a job that was supposed to last just two weeks evolved into Lazer booking background talent for feature films and TV series, learning how to direct actors in the audition room, and eventually running casting sessions.The first auditions that Lazer held on his own were for a Cool Whip commercial. He says the moment of truth arrived when the client called Wyman to discuss the audition tapes.
