Do actors prefer when casting directors let them know if they didn't get the part?
I'm working as an AD on a college short film and handling the audition emails. In the past, I used to send rejection emails to the actors who submitted their self-tape. However, I recently saw a thread where actors said they didn't like it. They argue that getting a random email from a production gets their hopes up, only to crush them when they realize it's just a "no."
I also saw a person saying that rejection emails is "rookie behavior" and that only low budget/non paying productions do it. Now on one hand I like to be cordial and I appricate the time and effort it takes to send a self-tape, but on the other hand, it would save me some time just not sending any emails at all, considering I do this on my own and the production doesn't really care if I do it or not.
Personally, if I were an actor, I'd want to know either way, but I'm curious to see what the majority actually thinks.
P.S. I'm not in the U.S, so maybe in south america is more common to send rejection emails, but idk.
