WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Casting No No's
Manage episode 504153558 series 1520135
Casting directors don’t actually know what producers want at the start of the process — they’re sending in choices to help define the role. So if you’re trying to “play what they want,” you’ll end up too vague to stand out. In this episode, Alyshia shares why specificity and authenticity are the keys to landing in the selection pile, why breakdowns are written for reps (not you), and how to stop wasting money on things like “actor slates.”
Plus, learn how Slaytember flips the script: instead of paying for workshops where casting judges you, you’ll work material for three weeks and then present it to award-winning CDs — including Victor Vasquez, Danny Gordon, and Jamie Castro — in a space where they’ve been invited to see YOU shine.
