Ouf, offering a video call on skype is a general red flag. I've had to do these calls sometimes with models back when I worked at ModelCentro and even though all I did was show website functionality on my shared screen, most are spooked by it because they think you'll start flashing them or demanding a free preview of their work. And it's supposedly much easier for me since I'm female.
If the calls he has are professional, where he talks through the models' preferences, plans the scene out, and discusses details of the job, it shouldn't be a problem. Covid taught us that zoom is the way to meet when no in-person meeting is possible, and it's a lot more normalized now. However, I think what he means by "audition" and "training" via skype is just him looking for freebies. If I was the model I'd charge per minute for these "training sessions".
The easiest way to antagonize a performer is to treat them like a piece of meat.
