    The Best Secrets of very Successful Actor
    Feb 19 2026
    Today’s episode is called: “The Best Secrets of Every Successful Actor.” And I want to start by disappointing you — just a little. There is no secret handshake. No magic agent. No single audition that changes everything. But there are patterns. And after decades of watching actors succeed, stall, disappear, return, rebuild, and thrive — I can tell you this: Successful actors don’t do different things. They do the same things — consistently. Let’s talk about those things. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How to Act With Irony

    How to Act With Irony
    Feb 5 2026
    Today’s episode is called: “How to Act with Irony.” And I want to start with a warning: Irony is one of the fastest ways actors sabotage themselves. Not because irony is bad — but because it’s misunderstood. So today we’re going to talk about: * What irony actually is * Why casting loves it when it’s done right * And how to play irony without losing truth FIRST: WHAT IRONY IS (AND ISN’T) Irony is not: * Sarcasm * Smirking * Winking at the audience Irony is: Playing the truth of the moment while the audience knows more than you do. The character believes fully. The audience holds the contradiction. That’s the magic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Hello, fellow actors. Welcome back to Casting Actors Cast — the podcast for actors, from a casting director, who wants you to stop doing weird things in the name of “networking.” Today’s episode is called: “Five Ways to Network with Industry Pros.” And before you tense up — no, this is not an episode about: Because real networking — the kind that actually works — looks nothing like what most actors imagine.

  • Getting Fired by Your Agent-What Next?

    Getting Fired by Your Agent-What Next?
    Jan 22 2026
    Today’s episode is called: “Getting Fired by Your Agent… What Next?” And if that title made your stomach drop just a little — congratulations. You’re human. Also, you’re not alone. Let me start by saying something right up front, because I want to take the sting out of this immediately: Getting dropped by an agent is not a career-ending event. In fact — and I know this may sound wild — for many actors, it turns out to be a career-clarifying moment. Now, before you throw your phone across the room, stay with me. Because today we’re going to talk about: This is not a “rah-rah, everything happens for a reason” episode. This is a practical, calm, grown-up conversation — the kind I would have wanted when I was starting out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 400 Episodes-A Celebration of you!

    400 Episodes-A Celebration of you!
    Jan 15 2026
    Some people can’t even commit to a gym membership for four weeks — and you and I have been meeting here since 2020. Through lockdowns, through self-tape explosions, through new technology disrupting our industry faster than we can say “AI voice clone,” we have been learning together, laughing together, and building the kind of creative courage that keeps actors moving forward. So today isn’t about a new technique or a tough-love lecture. Today is a celebration. Today is a reflection. Today is a thank you to YOU — for being the kind of artist who keeps showing up. Because this podcast exists because of you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Self-tape Trap-Are Your Choices Helping or Hurting You

    The Self-tape Trap-Are Your Choices Helping or Hurting You
    Jan 8 2026
    Self-tapes are where careers happen today. They’re the front door of the business. And like any front door — there’s a welcome mat… and there are also banana peels hidden right under the surface waiting to trip you up. Today, we are shining a big bright spotlight on The Self-Tape Trap. Those choices actors make with good intentions — really good intentions — that accidentally sabotage the performance. These traps are sneaky. They can feel like “extra effort” or “smart choices” or “making it real” — but casting directors are watching self-tapes with a totally different lens.

  • Stop Overthinking the Moment-Start Owning it

    Stop Overthinking the Moment-Start Owning it
    Jan 1 2026
    We’re talking about overthinking. That mental spiral where suddenly your brain is narrating your audition like it’s doing play-by-play commentary during the Super Bowl. “Here comes the second line — careful, careful — don’t mess this up — oof, eyebrow twitch — bad eyebrow! Reset! Reset!” Overthinking is the enemy of presence. The enemy of impulse. The enemy of surprise. It’s like having a backseat driver take over your brain while you’re trying to actually drive the car. So let me ask you a question: When you’re really living a moment — like REALLY living it — do you think about it while you’re in it? No! You just live it. You notice the other person. You feel the emotion. You react like a human — not like a student trying to pass a finalexam. That’s the shift we’re going to make today: from thinking the moment… to owning the moment.
