Despite the lifting of more restrictions, auditioning for roles by actors is predominantly virtual instead of physical, following the B.C. In self-taped auditions, actors film themselves rendering the script provided by the casting director on several takes, and send the recording to the director for feedback. Vancouver talent agent Lena Lees-Heidt says virtual auditioning could work to actors' advantage. He said virtual auditions allow actors to do as many takes as they like, but can be a "double-edged sword." Hamza Fouad says actors may not get the same feedback from producers and directors in a virtual audition as they do in a physical audition room.
