Tiffany Haddish secretly records casting directors
Tiffany Haddish admits she would put her phone on record in her bag and 'accidentally' leave it behind at an audition.
She would then go back, collect it and listen to the recording to hear what was said about her.
Tiffany says she's heard directors call her, 'too ghetto,' 'not as urban as you'd think,' or 'just plain.'

The 39-year-old reveals all during a round-table discussion with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne and Alex Borstein for The Hollywood Reporter.
The girls talk about the general prognosis of an audition and the most common feedback they've received.
Tiffany admits, 'I'd put my phone on voice memo and put it in my bag, I'd do the audition, walk out and leave my bag.'
'Then I'd come back and be like, "Oh, I forgot my purse.'

I just love this picture! I don’t know who took it but they did a Great job!
The girls wanted to know what Tiffany heard when she listened back to the recording.
Haddish says directors would say, ''She is not as urban as I thought she'd be.' Or, ''She is so ghetto.''
"Her boobs aren't big enough." "I really think we should just go with a white girl."
Tiffany does this a lot
When asked how many auditions she's bugged, Tiffany admits, 'a lot. I'm sneaky!'
She says it helps her in the long run, 'I want to hear so that I can write jokes about it.'
'That and also so that I use it to my advantage and grow. Like all this, 'Jeez, she can't read. She said every word wrong.' And I'm like, 'They're right.''
'So, I start reading out loud more and practicing and it helps me in the long run.'
'Sure, they hurt my feelings and sometimes I'm like, 'Damn, what a bi*ch. I'm never going back in there."
