I find myself at auditions more often than I'd like. I usually just make sure everyone has the correct sides, and keep track of who has read, who hasn't read and who needs to read with whom. And I organize the paperwork - make sure the headshots are in order, etc.
I only suggest a friend if a director says "Hey, I need people to come to this audition, do you have any ideas?"
And I only make suggestions/comments if asked. The comments I make are rarely ability-based. If I have worked with someone before and they were unprofessional, I'll warn a director; "You may want to think twice about casting so-and-so: they're often late for rehearsal and rarely prepared." Sometimes, if the person is talented enough, the director doesn't care. But not often.
