An audition can be subjective ….people get “liked” in an audition based on how charming they are, their screen presence , them having a good voice , their good looks, them having good expressions , them suiting the role yada yada …all of these are subjective …one person might love an audition and another might hate it …the hiring of an actor onto a project itself is a highly subjective “liking” based system (favouritism) :…it’s dependent on whether the actor has managed to make the producer/ director / casting director “like” them…not based on whether they passed exams, can assemble a code base, can solve an equation etc….
Which is why success in the is field is largely based on luck, being at the right place at the right time, knowing the right people and managing to persuade them…you can’t drive metrics into this and impose requirements here because it’s not a math or a science test where skill is measured on knowledge/ application of knowledge to meet definitive benchmarks
Acting is subjective ..
