Why doesn't HOME produce audition classes to get the point of view of casting directors/agents?
Because we are focussing on doing professional level work so that you will have the best material to show you off when you audition for casting directors/agents. Having been to my share of classes with casting directors/agents, I've found there are a some who genuinely want to help you by giving constructive feedback. However, there are enough casting directors and especially agents doing these classes that have the attitude that if you have to take this class, you aren't talented enough for them anyway. Not only don't you get constructuve feedback from them, but you actually hurt your chances of getting seen by them for something you would be good for, because they will always remember you as being from that class. I have helped performers find and rehearse material that got them signed with agents and called back by major casting directors plenty of times. Your time and money is better spent honing your craft and working your audition material so that you have the best material for each audition you attend. Meeting casting directors and agents at networking functions once you have good material is the best way to go.
