Today my guest on the Hometown to Hollywood podcast is casting director Sara Isaacson.
Sara is best known for casting Law and Order: True Crime, Bates Motel, Fringe, The Arrangement, Famous in Love, The Mentalist, Motive, Almost Human, and State of Affairs. She is a member of the Casting Society of America.
We discussed a wide range of subjects over the course of our conversation, including how to get on a casting director’s radar, what she wishes actors would and would NOT do in auditions, how casting actually works, tips for parents of young actors, and some excellent philosophical advice that applies to pretty much everyone, not just actors!
Some of my favorite quotes from our conversation:

Sara’s twenty years as a casting director in Hollywood has earned her a wealth of experience and understanding of this industry. As I enter my tenth year here, I am still learning every day! If you are trying to make it as an actor, or trying to help your kid make it, give yourself the advantage of experience and insight by booking a consultation with me, either online or in person in Los Angeles. I look forward to helping you increase your odds of success!
