In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast

How to Use Backstage to Launch Your Career


Listen Later

“In the Envelope” listeners are in for a treat this week, as Jack is joined by Christine McKenna-Tirella, Backstage’s casting specialist, to give an update from the jobs market on Backstage: virtual auditions, profile-building options, and other insider tips that prospective subscribers may not know about casting, particularly amid an unpredictable 2020.
“I want you to feel prepared, I want you to feel like you can put your best foot forward and that you can really launch your career—even in a pandemic,” says Christine, who has nine years of experience in the casting industry and used Backstage during her early acting days in New York City. She will be updating listeners every week going forward, with a “Backstage casting insider” segment covering everything from what’s currently casting to how to harness the inspiration “In the Envelope” provides and turn that into success.
