April 11, 2018 ~ Casting Director Panel, Part 1

Panel of Casting Directors #1

Casting Directors Panel #1

Actors often ask, “Where’s the work?” The answer is simple: via casting directors. These hard-working professionals are the decision makers as to who gets invited to audition for roles. Actors need to know exactly what casting directors do, how they think, what they look for, what their responsibilities are, and what they expect from actors. We’ll be offering that information and more at our next 2 mixers. So brush up your résumé & dig up your headshot and mark your calendar for April 11th & May 9th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!

4 Casting Directors on April 11th:

Toni Cobb-Brock & Sally Allen of Brock Allen Casting

Brad Burton, CSA & Kimberly Burton, CSA of Burton Casting

The program will commence with an introduction from each casting director sharing with the audience about themselves, their experience, and their companies. Then the floor will open to the audience for a Q & A session which will last approximately a half hour.

Instructions for Headshots & Résumés: Actors are encouraged to bring 2 sets of headshots & résumés (1 for each casting company), with the headshot & résumé stapled back-to-back, for placement at a designated table upon arrival, preferably prior to the beginning of the program, so that they can have your submission package to review when they leave.

See you at Opal’s on the 11th!

March 14, 2018 ~ NO March Mixer ~ Casting Directors in April & May

No Mixer in March

Ready for SXSW 2018? It starts today the 9th and runs through the 18th, and is the reason we don’t hold mixers in March.

While anxiously awaiting our next mixer, take this time to brush up your résumé & dig up a current headshot since we’ll be presenting 2 consecutive panels of some of the busiest and most successful casting directors in Central Texas. So mark your calendar for April 11th & May 9th when we’ll once again reunite at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill. And be first to find out which casting directors will grace our stage by getting on our mailing list!

 

Last Month

We extend our deepest thanks to last month’s terrific talent agents for speaking as our guests, elaborating on their extensive experience, and answering so many audience questions. Our February 14th panel featured these fantastic owners, managers, and agents: Jason Wasner of Acclaim Talent, Cynthia Robbins of BLVD Talent, Claudia Ramon of Condra/Artista Talent, and Romie Szal of K Hall Agency.

 

About Where We Meet

Network Austin Mixer has been meeting for well over a decade in various parts of our fine, creative, and culturally rich city. For the last several years our mixers have been held in North Austin, drawing attendance from all parts of Austin and nearby cities & towns, but obviously easiest for those north of the river. Some people, serious about making it in our industry, have traveled much farther to attend our mixers which have always been free and open to the public, and yet rich with constructive information and productive networking. So it’s time for those in South Austin to get a break since we’re a bit south of the river now. No matter where we are, and no matter where you’re from, we hope you’ll join us at our mixers!
