168. Seth Caskey, CSA, on Casting Commercials vs. TV, Casting Director Workshops, and the Casting Process

Seth Caskey, CSA, is on the podcast to share his thoughts on casting in 2023. He has worked with Elizabeth Barnes, CSA, since 2015 and has been involved with the Emmy-nominated Netflix series GLOW, What/If, Siren and Blood & Treasure. Seth is known as an "actor's casting director" and is always looking for ways to help support actors and creators in the film industry. This is also the first time that I've ever had a casting director on who just booked me, and we talk about the audition process for that project as well as the differences between casting theatrically vs. commercially, casting director workshops, and how actors can develop good working relationships with casting directors.
