INSIDE THE MIND OF A CASTING DIRECTOR

Casting director Andy Roth has listened to tens of thousands of auditions and cast more than 1,000 commercials, along with major TV, animation, and streaming projects.

In this episode of Everyday VOpreneur, Andy shares what voice actors rarely hear but desperately need to understand.

Auditions are not isolated moments. They’re relationship builders.

Andy explains how casting directors bank auditions, fill future roles from past reads, and make decisions based on trust, ease, and efficiency, not perfection. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “nail it” every time or worried that one audition could make or break your career, this episode will completely reframe how you approach the process.

Key moments from the episode:
• Why casting directors bank auditions for future roles
• What “Strong but Wrong” really means and why it’s not a bad thing
• How relationships influence casting decisions
• What casting directors actually listen for in auditions
• Why confidence and ease matter more than clever choices
• How social media helps casting directors build trust
• The biggest audition mistakes voice actors make without realizing it
• Why overthinking works against you in casting
• How to play the long game in a fast-moving industry

This is an honest, practical conversation that will help you approach auditions with less stress, more confidence, and a clearer understanding of how casting really works.

🎙️ If you want to audition smarter, not harder, this episode is for you.
