Entertaining with Sean De Simone

Imagine, if instead of striving to be perfect, you strived to be entertaining? My pal Sean De Simone returns to Camera Ready and Abel to tell us why perfect is boring and how ENTERTAINING will get you noticed!

Sean is an expert in TV Host and Brand Spokesperson casting, having worked extensively with QVC and the Home Shopping Network as well as numerous beauty, fashion, home, cook, and fitness brands. He first joined the Camera Ready & Abel community as a guest on the April 2020 episode, “Authenticity is a process not Just a buzzword.”

In today’s episode Sean addresses the underlying  fear that often accompanies the request to be entertaining and the art of grabbing someone’s attention and keeping it. With a keen eye for what pops, Sean translates what he has learned from thousands of hours of being in the audition room as a casting director to what you need to know to stand out.
