  • 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

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.
135. "Neglected" Lead Actress, Elena Sanchez Joins us for a Chat!
Q: What was the moment like when you learned you were the female lead in Neglected, and how did the rapid turnaround unfold?
She details receiving a script the director sent, taping scenes with her dad as reader, and being told on a Sunday night she would be the female lead, with immediate on-set deployment just six days later, illustrating how quickly things can change in this industry.
135. "Neglected" Lead Actress, Elena Sanchez Joins us for a Chat!
Q: From the casting front, what has been your journey into acting?
Elena describes starting as a NYC extra, moving into stunt work, studying at RADA, and progressively building a reel that allowed her to pivot from stunt doubling to acting, which opened doors to major projects.
132. You Asked and We Answered! Q&A + Industry News!
Q: How specific to the role should headshots be for different genres?
Keep headshots natural and neutral for most roles, with a touch of personality for drama and more vibrancy for comedy, avoiding overly boxy costumes; there should be enough variety to reflect different facets without locking you into a single look.
