89. Inside the Casting Room with Kate Lumpkin: What Casting Directors Really Want to See


Listen Later

“The most useful thing you can do on social media is show who the heck you really are.” – Kate Lumpkin

What do casting directors really notice—in the audition room and online? Chelsea and Cynthia sit down with casting director Kate Lumpkin for an inside look at how performers can stand out without faking it.

You’ll hear Kate share:

  • How authentic social media posts can actually help get in the room—and book the job
  • What makes a performer’s online presence useful (vs. distracting)
  • Why ECCs and EPAs still matter—and yes, actors do get hired from them
  • How to reframe “failure” as a pivot in your bigger artistic journey

Whether you’re just breaking into the business or trying to get more consistent callbacks, this episode is packed with practical insights that will help you feel less mystified by the casting process.
