The Casting Couch

CASTING DIRECTOR

Robert Chamberlain-Bell


Welcome to the Casting Couch


We are all about lights, cameras, passion and action!

Casting Directors Robert Chamberlain-Bell and Rowlene Friedlander have specialised industry skills that complement each other.

This dynamic duo brings a wealth of experience to The Casting Couch, having worked with both local and international directors, producers and blue chip clients. Robert has 20 years experience as an advertising television producer and Rowlene has both managed and directed casting agencies for over 35 years.

The role of casting directors is to facilitate the casting of actors, models and characters for television commercials, stills photography and multimedia content.

This involves working jointly with the director and producer in order to get the very best performance from the artists so that their auditions are presented to clients in a professional manner to ensure the clients make the best selection.

At The Casting Couch we don’t simply hold auditions or drop you in the deep end which can be a daunting experience, especially for first-timers. Rowlene and Robert will prepare you for the camera by researching the role that you are auditioning for, offer advice on wardrobe and hair and assist you with the delivery of the performance that the director and client will require.

We offer professional industry insights to both production and talent , with a particular focus on performance, skill, and character development.
