Show Notes

Working her way up from an assistant to casting associate to an Emmy-nominated casting director, Jamie Castro has cast numerous film and television projects including "Inventing Anna," "Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy," "Station 19" and more. In today's episode, we cover reasons why an actor might get recast, who usually writes the character breakdowns, and how actors can politely and professionally start to turn down co-star roles when they feel they're ready to level up to guest stars. As a coach, Jamie knows what makes a strong audition. Offering examples, she shares what it was like watching stars Kerry Washington and Katie Lowes audition for "Scandal" and what made their performances so memorable.
