Discover how casting directors narrow down hundreds of auditions to create the shortlist, what they're really listening for in your performance, and why professionalism and kindness matter just as much as talent in the voice-over industry.

As the new year begins, Kelly Moscinski and Kathryn Horan of The Voicecaster discuss what’s changing in voiceover for 2026 and what remains essential. From current VO trends and common audition pitfalls to building trust, making simple choices, and understanding what casting actually listens for, this episode offers a clear, grounded reset for the year ahead. A practical conversation on focus, confidence, and moving forward with intention.

As 2025 comes to a close, Kelly Moscinski and Kathryn Horan sit down to reflect on the year from the casting side of the booth—and what voiceover talent can take into the future.

In this candid wrap-up conversation, they unpack how the VO landscape shifted throughout 2025, what casting directors noticed most in auditions, and where actors tend to overthink (often without realizing it). The discussion also touches on the realities of audition silence, the value of listening back to your own work, and the surprising ways VO talent showed up and impressed this year.

The episode closes with a look ahead to 2026—what’s worth carrying forward, what might need to be left behind, and how actors can move into the new year with more clarity, confidence, and perspective.

Whether you’re reflecting on your own year or gearing up for what’s next, this episode offers honest insight, encouragement, and a grounded casting-room view you won’t want to miss.
