Ok.. So one of the directors I submitted a headshot to wrote me an email saying that he liked me and was considering me for an audition and asked if I could send him more pictures, profiles and full body shots-I usually don't respond to emails like this cause they creep me out, if you wanna see me full body set up an audition but what the hell I sent him some more pictures. Then he sends me this email that-despite his initial "feelings" about me- I do not meet his "vision" of the project. Note to all potential and aspiring directors, I get emails like this all the time and now I am responding in full. Doing the aforementioned correspondence in that manner is the most unprofessional thing I have ever heard of in my life.
If you get a feeling about someone initially you show take time to see them before you decide on your vision. Many, manyyyyyy times in this business you hear stories that the characters that you have strong opinions of can change during the auditioning process. Sometimes what you think works eventually doesn't and you find that a character is totally altered by who you decide to cast. Further more I personally do not like it when directors call me or email when they do not wish to cast me. I have a lot of submissions floating around out there, I am a very busy girl so I don't give a fuck if you are going "another way" believe me if I don't hear from you in say a month I'll know and I'll move on. I know already that you will keep me in mind for other projects if you like me, (it's happened before) all writing me back to tell me in so many words that I am not your cup of tea makes you seem like an immature unprofessional dick-head that likes to take the time out of his "busy" schedule to tell me that I stink. Which in turn makes me damn sure I never want to work with you. Know wonder this "vision" director has had this casting notice out for a week solid, there's probably no one out there that fits it, good luck in the real world to you too man.
