Instead of starting with what you think the casting director is looking for and working backwards, start with your intuition and experience of the role and work from there, ignoring your perception of the casting director. Doing it this way not only helps you deliver a more original and more memorab...

Appreciate you Richard "RB" Botto
great insights. Can't tell you how many casting directors I've talked to who see the same performance over and over again. Be true to you!
Right back at ya, Tammy Hunt.
Absolutely true, Ashley Ottesen. Your audition, your take on the material.

This has been a fascinating drama to watch... and I don't mean the actual series (which I love)... the back-and-forth between Coster, Sheridan, and Paramount has been nothing short of epic. And Costner just made it official that he's not returning for the final episodes. I will miss him in the show...

This is so sad to see Sam Sokolow
I'm planning to start the full binge of Yellowstone, now that I finally have a Peacock account. I've been sleeping on it for far too long, Sam Sokolow.
It's definitely been quite the saga! I'm sad to hear Costner won't be returning, as his presence has been such a cornerstone of the show. It will be interesting to see how the writers handle his absen...

I'm re-watching "The Good Place" on YouTube, bought all 4 seasons, and I chanced upon this cool behind the scenes clip where the cast is told what the season 1 finale is. Amazing cast reactions as they discover the true nature of their character's existences. Enjoy!

Expand commentHi everyone, Olga here - a multi-lingual first-generation Russian immigrant who writes and produces dark psychological pieces about finding your place in the world. I don't have that classic "villain" accent but as a US resident of 16 years, still don't sound like a native. I've taken classes before and did apps like BoldVoice, yet still not want to level up. Very much excited about this webinar and any tips/guides to improve my speaking chops!
