Show Notes
Actors: here’s casting insights from Casting Actors Cast with casting director Jeff Dreisbach:
"Let me tell you something that might sound unfair—but it’s true.
Casting starts forming impressions within the first 15 seconds of watching you.
And no, it’s not about talent or perfection.
It’s about presence.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really happening before your first line, why rushing reads as nerves, and how one small shift can instantly make casting lean forward instead of pull back.
If you’ve ever wondered why some actors feel watchable the moment they appear—this is the conversation you’ve been missing."
