Don't they all technically audition at some point anyway. You just get different types of auditions now. Those who apply online from the start, those who are head hunted on the streets and those who are sought from agencies. The people who apply online go through a more lengthy audition process whereas those from agencies skip 2 or 3 steps and fast-track to the more advanced audition stages. Everyone still technically auditions, although some get a far better off chance due to be sought by the producers.
