July 10, 2025 Working With Actors You Don't Like
Acting
is a team sport. We rely on our scene partners, castmates, and creative
collaborators to bring the story to life. But what happens when that trust and connection just... isn’t there?
Whether it’s a clash of personalities, conflicting work styles, or just bad chemistry, working with another actor you don’t like can turn a dream role into an emotional minefield. In today’s episode of Casting Actors Cast, we’ll explore the triggers behind actor-to-actor tension, the toll it can take, and how to navigate difficult dynamics without sabotaging the work — or your sanity."

July 03, 2025 It's a Wrap...Now What?
"It’s
curtain call. The final take. The closing night party. The end of the project.
As
actors, we pour our hearts into our work — and when that work wraps up, we’re
often left with a cocktail of emotions: pride, sadness, uncertainty,
excitement, and even fear. What happens when the thing you’ve devoted your
time, energy, and soul to… ends?
Today
on Casting Actors Cast, we’re diving into the post-project blues,
the thrill of completion, and how you can process the end of a project in a way
that fuels your growth — both personally and professionally."

June 26, 2025 No Means Know
"No
is a complete sentence. It might sound harsh, but when used with purpose, it's
one of the most efficient, powerful, and professional tools an actor can have.
Still,
let’s face it—saying no isn’t easy. Especially when your heart says “yes,
please cast me!” and your gut says “this might not be right.”
Why
do actors struggle with turning things down? And how can we say no without
guilt, fear, or burning bridges?
Let’s
unpack the psychology of NO—something every actor should know—right now, on Casting
Actors Cast!"

June 19, 2025 Actor Procrastination
Repeat after me.
I don't have problems.
I have situations.
A situation has occurred to me lately that I've been putting things off.
My attitude is, why do it to day when I can put it off till to morrow?
Do you do that? I think you know you're an actor when you spend
three hours organizing your closet instead of submitting for the role that
is due in two hours. That is called procrastination. The intentional display of a task despite knowing it will cost us something later.
We'll cover Actor Procrastination on this episode od CASTING ACTORS CAST

June 05, 2025 Break Into Streaming
Remember
the days when “making it” meant getting your big break on a network sitcom, or
landing three lines in a soap opera and hoping your character didn’t die in a
freak elevator accident? Ah, the good old days...
Well,
guess what? Those days have streamed on by.
Today,
the entertainment industry looks completely different. Why? Because of streaming
services—Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max... I
mean, honestly, if you don’t have at least four of these, are you even
procrastinating properly?

May 29, 2025 Voice Overs vs On Camera
If you've been thinking about Voice Over work in addition to being an actor, this episode is for you! Voice acting today has become a massive industry. We’re talking audiobooks, podcasts, e-learning modules, video games, meditation apps, smart assistants, and even—wait for it—AI-generated clones of real voices. (Yeah, it’s a little creepy. But hey, if Siri ever sounds like Morgan Freeman, I won’t complain.)
So let’s get into it. If you’re used to on-camera work, the jump to voice
acting isn’t just a change in medium—it’s a full-on mindset shift.
