Self taping can often feel like you're auditioning into a vacuum. Casting Director Alexis Winter (the offices of Laray Mayfield, Rich Delia, Courtney Bright and Nicole Daniels, Tamara Notcutt, Gail Goldberg and Sheila Jaffe) breaks down for us myths about self taping, how to book the audition, and how she first got into casting working on the iconic One Tree Hill. Alexis explains why the strike is so important, noting that 87% of SAGAFTRA members do not qualify for health insurance, where the minimum pay requirement to meet it is 26,000. She discusses how actors can stay warm during the strike, and how it effects the industry beyond actors and writers. Listen in for an incredibly informative episode!
