Inside the Casting Studio Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/inside-the-casting-studio We recorded this podcast a few years ago, just as what they are calling The Great Recession had the country in it’s jaws and so many people were giving up on their life’s dreams.After decades of casting Films, Television, Commercials and Theatre we wanted to get this information out there.Recently, we listened to it again in our Post-Covid-Quarantine world and we thought that this information is as relevant now as it was back then. So we are re-releasing it every week.We recorded it in a room in our house, not a studio, so you’ll hear plenty of audio errors, and I even hit the microphone a couple of times. But rather than redo them all over again, we want to just get the information out there for anyone who can use it to keep their dream awake.So give it a listen. If it helps you, great!One of the many lessons we’ve learned from 2020 is that life is fragile and dreams are fragile. Anything that can help you live both more fully is valuable.
