disagree  Timothy Barton: sorry, but using "casting" in this context is Spanglish. See my note. One of those English words that has changed meaning in most other languages (like "parking", "matchball", etc, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum).

Explanation:
Sorry, but using "casting" as a countable noun is Spanglish. One cannot attend "a casting". "Casting" can be used referring to a process, but not to a single event. I would call this an "audition".

  -> No tiene nada que ver con mi comentario. Me refería al uso en inglés. En inglés se utiliza más "audition" en este contexto.
