## Resource

Veteran casting director Lori Wyman (Miami Vice, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Bloodline, Ballers) joins Jesse Malinowski on Get Scene Unscripted to reveal why only 1 of 70 self-tapes she received was good enough to submit, and the on-set memorization disasters that got working actors blacklisted. From the two-take rule actors get wrong to why nutrition tanks auditions, this is four decades of casting truth most actors never hear.
