Ever feel like you’re sending auditions into a black hole?

In this episode, veteran casting director Kelly Moscinski pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes... and what actually makes voice actors stand out.

With nearly 20 years of experience casting for major brands, Kelly shares the insights most actors never get to hear.

We talk about:

Why playing it safe is a fast track to the “No” pile

What casting directors really listen for in the first 3–5 seconds

The surprising role authenticity (and even imperfections) play in booking

Why blindly following specs could be hurting your auditions

The importance of submitting raw, human reads

Why confidence might be the missing piece in your audition game

Kelly also dishes on the biggest trends heading into 2026 and how to stay on top of the game, even if you’re still early in your journey.
