What Our Listeners Are Saying
Hi I'm Rose Rosen!
I'm a casting director, and although I see easily over 100 people each day in auditions, my work life has always been solo. Most casting directors are actually islands figuring out how to accomplish often monumental tasks. So it took me quite by surprise, and I was so delighted that my gift from the pandemic was this group of high-level casting directors who share my professional struggles and triumphs.
These casting directors, who independently sprinkle the stardust on many actors, had come together to create our own group. We continue to meet every Monday to this day. Thankfully, the pandemic ended, but our group lives on in the Casting Confidential membership and podcast. And now I'm inviting you to join our Casting Confidential community.
