Spilling the Tea with Casting Director Erica Hart

THIS IS A SEGMENT FROM AN EXCLUSIVE PATREON EPISODE

Joshua and Mike sit down with the dynamic casting director Erica Hart, whose entrepreneurial spirit and deep respect for actors have set her apart in the industry and made her one of the most exciting casting professionals working today. Erica doesn't just talk the talk; she’s taken bold creative risks in her own career and believes that actors should be doing the same.

Get ready for some real talk as Erica offers audition advice for TV, film, and theater, to the do's and don’ts of communicating with casting directors (trust us, this is advice you won't hear anywhere else). We dive into how self-taping has flipped the script on the audition process—for better and for worse—and why doing your homework is non-negotiable if you want to land that dream role.

Wondering how to actually get those coveted auditions? Erica breaks it down and reveals the surprising places where she finds fresh talent. By the end of this episode, if you're not fired up to hustle and book those roles, well… let’s just say you might need to check your commitment to the craft.
