No one should ever use "Passion" as an excuse for unkind, unconstructive and abusive feedback. We all need to do better. There are ways to be passionate without hurting a student who is trying to learn.

I believe there are many casting directors that do not use their words well and are more hurtful than helpful to many students at these organizations. Because they are in a position of power, and are a gatekeepers to unlocking time with major networks, people are afraid to speak up. And they feed into their power trip and forget we are all still human. No one is above anyone else.

I hope there will be actions put into place to make sure the casting directors who are teaching, take certain measures to learn how to be better teachers.
