Voice Over Casting Corner – Episode 44: Casting Wants You to Win

In this episode, Kelly Moscinski and Kathryn Horan from The Voicecaster tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in the voiceover world: that casting directors are working against you. Spoiler — they're not. They're rooting for you every time they open your audition.

What we cover:

  • The "us vs. them" myth – Why actors feel like casting is against them, and why that couldn't be further from the truth
  • Silence isn't rejection – With 500–1,000 submissions per project, why casting can't respond to every audition — and what that silence actually means
  • When you win, we win – How booking actors makes casting directors look good to their clients, creating a true win-win relationship
  • The long game – Why casting and agents keep submitting actors who haven't booked in a year or more, and why consistency matters more than individual bookings
  • Submit and release – The mindset shift that can transform how you approach every audition
  • Auditions as opportunities – Reframing the competitive mindset into one of possibility

    • Key takeaways:

    • Not booking doesn't mean anyone disliked your audition — it just means you weren't the right fit for that specific project
    • Clients do remember voices they've loved over years, and that persistence pays off
    • Consistency is what casting directors notice and remember most
    • Focus on your connection to the script, trust your instincts, and let go of expectations for feedback

      • About The Voicecaster: The country's first and oldest voiceover casting house, established in 1975. Casting thousands of voices every year across all genres.
