About this episode

Matt and Oren discuss auditioning from an actor's perspective, sharing insights on what works and what doesn't in the casting process.

Matt and Oren talk about what they love to see from actors. How many takes should you do? What if you drop a line in an audition? And what’s the best way to ask questions? It’s a great episode on the little things actors have done and gotten booked. As well as the mistakes actors have made that worked against them. It’s funny, because Matt and Oren agree on a lot. But while some things are cringe to one of them, the same things are endearing to the other. This is the episode that helps put in perspective the casting and audition process and the little things that make a difference in how professional you come across.
