screen tests

Screen tests are evaluations used in film and television to assess how an actor looks, sounds, and performs on camera before casting a role. They typically involve the actor performing scenes or lines from the script in front of directors and producers. The goal is to see if the actor's appearance, chemistry with other cast members, and on-camera presence align with the character and project's needs. Screen tests help producers make informed casting decisions and ensure the actor's portrayal will work well in the final production.
