Summary
Jesse Malinowski sits down with Stilwell Casting's Katherine Barber, who reveals that nearly half of actors ghost their commercial auditions, breakdowns go out to 69 agencies with thousands of submissions, and simply following directions beats 30% of your competition. From the agent email that gets overlooked actors through instantly to the submission note that helped Jesse book a job, this Get Scene Unscripted episode is packed with insider tactics working actors can use on their very next self-tape.
