Owning Who You Are IS the Audition – with Christy Faison
In this grounded and heartfelt conversation, casting director Christy Faison reveals what truly makes an actor castable - and it’s not about getting it “right.” It’s bringing your essence, your confidence, and your full self to the role.
We dive into what separates a solid audition from one that lingers in the mind of a producer, why perfection can work against you, and how to create work that feels human, alive, and unforgettable.
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what casting directors actually respond to, how to stop playing it safe, and why owning who you are is the most powerful move you can make.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much or not enough - this one’s for you.
