This is the podcast that takes on the question and gives you a memo for demo's.

Air Date: 9/7/2023
“Beats Me”
It’s kind of a slang phrase that I don’t really hear anymore. “It beats
me” is usually a response to a question when you don’t have the
answer. Like, “how did that candy bar I was saving suddenly
disappear?”. “Beats Me”. For actors, this is not a great response
when working on a script or audition. There is an expectation that you
have the answer and not a “beats me” statement. Truth is, I’ not sure
what the literal translation really means. For actors, there is another
way to understand beats me. Rather than being beat, using a beat
can be quite useful. Beats, on today’s episode of Casting Actors
Cast!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but. Here it goes. It's that time of year again. It's
almost Fall. And that means going back to school. Back to auditioning. Back to the
reality of what it is to be an actor. Part of your getting back, is to evaluate where
you are and remain open to others that can keep you moving forward. On this

#273 Working With a Partner
Air Date: 8/24/2023
Whether it’s a class, a chemistry read or on the set, working with a partner can sometimes be fraught with challenges (fraught! Who talks like that?). Being a team player and good sport may not always be the most useful approach for you or your partner, for that matter. I don’t mean to imply that you should be difficult to work with. Not at all. There are ways you can make amazing discoveries and rewarding outcomes with your acting and an acting partner while working together. Working with a partner, on this episode of Casting Actors Cast!

#272 Making the Best Choice
Air Date: 8/17/2023

In a recent class I was teaching, an actor timidly raised their hand and asked, “How do I now if I am making the right acting choice in an audition for film or TV?” My response was probably a typical one, “Well, decide what is best for you”. I was completely dissatisfied with my answer. First, I was repeating something I heard from an acting teacher I had several years earlier. Second, how do you know what s best for you when you are unsure of what is best for you. Crazy. Today we’re going to explore how you can make the best choice for you!

#271 You Need New Pictures!
Air Date: 8/10/2023

I really love working with actors. It is a rare opportunity for me to share my professional feedback and advice to actors who are willing to listen. I ultimately think this interaction supplies information that improves the industry for everybody. One area that still remains a sticking point for me are headshots that don’t work. I am mystified by actors or acting students relying on amateur, poorly crafted, badly lit images that don’t even look like you! OK. I don’t necessarily mean you directly….optimum word being necessarily. C’m on. Join me as I give you important information about your headshots so you will not ever need to hear, “You need new pictures!”

#270 Back Into It
Air Date: 8/3/2023

So, everything we undertake has its own set of challenges. We know this.
Everything worth doing contains the “what if’s”. “What if It doesn’t
happen?”, “What if I can’t find the time?”, What if it doesn’t work out?”.
Actors are well versed in taking on alternative points of view when it comes
to their acting or acting career. It is built into the DNA of being an actor. It
can really affect our sensibilities for better or worse. Right now, we are
paralyzed with the actors and writers strike. It prevents us from even
thinking about the, “what if’s”. Well, to that I can only say, “Lets get back
into it!” Let’s find ways to keep ourselves ready so when external issues
finally resolve (and they will) we will be ready. Back into it is today’s subject
on this episode of Casting Actors Cast!
