Welcome BACK to another exciting episode of Ground Up with Natalee!

In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Los Angeles-based casting director, Lisa London, whose incredible work includes casting the iconic hit show Hannah Montana, along with numerous other TV shows and films that have shaped pop culture.

Lisa opens up about the realities of casting—from the often misunderstood casting process to what it actually takes to book a role in today’s industry. We dive into key questions like:

• What are the biggest misconceptions actors have about casting?

• Who really hires a casting director, and how many submissions do they get per role?

• Do you need an agent or manager to even be considered for auditions?

• Do casting directors really only watch the first few seconds of a tape?

• Is networking crucial for actors, and how does it influence casting decisions?

• If a casting director doesn’t like an audition, is it game over for that actor?

If you're an actor, an aspiring casting director, or just curious about how actors land roles in TV and film, this episode will give you unfiltered insight into what happens behind the scenes. Lisa shares invaluable tips that could transform the way you approach your next audition—and might just be the key to booking your dream role.

Tune in to learn what really sets actors apart in auditions, what to avoid at all costs, and the secrets to making a lasting impression in the room (or on tape).
