  • Funny and honest.

    For actors there’s a bit of a reality check included here which is useful. The reality of what’s happening with the industry is a little soul destroying for anyone not already well established or famous. Jess and Jenn add the wide angle lens to what we experience. They talk about industry workings we don’t ordinarily get to hear about, with a clear take on what they see. If I meet an actor I like I’ll mention this podcast, chocolate, and forest walks. If I don’t like you then I’ll talk about alg... more

  • Enjoyable/Informative

    Jess and Jenn bring both a relatable and enjoyable perspective of the casting process. As an actor, it’s reassuring to hear how the pipeline works, but also that casting directors are grinding right alongside their actor pool. It makes the industry feel more collaborative and empathetic at its heart due to the people involved. The market perspectives represented in this podcast offer essential recommendations to actors and casting directors forging their careers on either side of the Atlantic. T... more

  • Always Pleasantly Surprised!

    Time and again Jess & Jenn find a way to bring cool insight into whatever topic they’re covering. I often feel like they’re reading my mind: when a question pops into my head while I’m listening, they usually answer it like 30 seconds later in the episode. They’re also really great at asking detailed, incisive questions, and creating an environment that puts the guest at ease so we can listen to their more authentic opinions. My favorite part of all is that they’re not afraid to speak their mind... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

138. Writer of Jury Duty: Company Retreat, Chris Kula, Joins Us!
Q: What was it like meeting the cast once they were in and tailoring to their unique comedic strengths?
We rewrote characters after casting to fit the real people, which allowed us to tailor dialogue and beats to their strengths and energy, making the on-camera performances feel authentic and performative in the right ways.
138. Writer of Jury Duty: Company Retreat, Chris Kula, Joins Us!
Q: Did you do that for this or no?
Yes, we used a full seven-episode storyboard with beats for the season, including contingencies and alternative paths to ensure the story could breathe even if plans shifted.
139. Actress, Charlene Amoia, Joins Us for a Fun Chat!
Q: How do you feel about self-tapes vs. in-person callbacks in terms of the craft and the feedback loop?
She emphasizes that in-person auditions offer immediate feedback and chemistry with directors, but acknowledges that self-tapes can be efficient and necessary, suggesting hybrid approaches like Zoom sessions when possible.
136. Headlines, Hot Takes & Your Casting Questions
Q: Are unsolicited emails to casting directors ever appropriate, and how should actors approach meet-and-greets or outreach?
Focus on professionalism, show that you've done your homework, and leverage workshops or agent-led introductions to get noticed, rather than blasting out generic messages.
136. Headlines, Hot Takes & Your Casting Questions
Q: Is an unsolicited email okay if you feel you're right for a role, or will it blacklist someone?
There isn't a universal rule; it depends on how respectful and concise the email is. Don't spam, be targeted, and consider having an agent push submissions first.
