🎭 Want the INSIDE story of how the performing arts industry actually works?
The performing arts industry is a machine and every person, department, and decision-maker is a cog that has to connect and function with the others.
But do you understand how all those pieces fit together?
That’s exactly what Makin’ It Happen: A Career in the Performing Arts is all about.
🎙️ In my conversation with Casting Director Jason Styres, we take you inside one of those critical cogs: CASTING.
If you’re an actor, singer, dancer, or performer seeking professional work, understanding the role of a casting director and what happens on the other side of the table is essential.
And if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to become a casting director… but how do you actually get there?” Jason shares his personal path into casting and the journey that brought him to where he is today.
This is the kind of industry insight you don’t learn by simply showing up to auditions.
You learn it by understanding the business behind the business.
