![]() ![]() It was on set, as a stand-in, when I realized the acting life is not what I wanted to pursue. I was a stand-in on iCarly and Victorious in their early seasons and got a close look at what life was like for a working Actor, day in and day out, the pros and the cons. Why did you choose to become a CD? How did you learn about running a business?Īs I came out of college, I thought I still wanted to pursue acting. You started in show business as an actor and then made the decision to transition after college to Casting Director. I’m so grateful to all of the amazingly talented actors who I’ve had the great pleasure of watching create their art. I feel so lucky to have found a passion in casting, and to be able to share my days with my incredible team. In theater casting we are looking for your voice and emotion to be much bigger, so that it can be felt all the way to the back row of the theater. For example, in film casting we are looking for the emotion to be smaller, more intimate because the camera will be so close to your face. There are certainly subtle differences between film vs theater.

They are educational opportunities for talent to practice their audition skills with us. When acting schools request us, Jamie and I both will teach audition technique workshops.

When we are seeking a specific type for a role, we do everything we can to find authenticity within that role. For LGBTQ characters, do you lean toward recommending real life LGBTQ people? When you put out the word to agents & managers that you’re casting an LGBTQ character, are you allowed to ask for LGBTQ actors and straight actors, or is that not politically correct? Today we are seeing more inclusivity in roles such as LGBTQ characters. With everyone, it’s the most amazing feeling to see an actor really bring the words on the page to life, to fully embody the role and bring their truth to the performance. With young people we know that they are still learning and may need some extra time and/or extra notes to understand the role. The biggest difference between young people and adults for me is that there is an assumption that adults will do all the work, and come fully prepared for every audition. What’s the difference between working with young talent vs. The first TV show that I cast by myself was a Nickelodeon show, back in 1997. While there, I asked if they needed an intern, they did, and that’s where it all began! I cast Background, then moved into Commercials, then transitioned into Film and ultimately landed in Television. I went to register to be a Background Performer, while I figured myself out. I had always loved the entertainment industry and was in my early 20’s, trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Specializing in children’s comedy television shows such as Nickelodeon’s iCarly and Victorious, Krisha and Jamie share what it’s like working with child performers, casting LGBTQ characters and why their love for the entertainment field keeps them laughing throughout their exhausting day. ![]() Casting Directors Krisha Bullock and Jamie Snow of Bullock and Snow Casting give us an inside look at the way they cast talent. ![]()
