Casting Corner

About Casting Corner

Casting Corner is a Casting director tips/advice series where I interview different casting directors and their associates around Los Angeles from a casting and acting perspective (since I do both). Learn answers to the questions you wanted to ask/to scared to ask/never thought to ask etc. It’s a great way to learn about the casting and audition process and hear the different perspectives/opinions of each office since every office is different and has different views/likes/dislikes/pet peeves etc. it’s like the advice you would get in workshops but more specific and free!
