BONUS: Breaking the Typecast

In this bonus breakdown episode of Casting Confidential, Rose Rosen is joined by three powerhouse casting directors—Robin Carus (New York), Kimberly Skyrme (DC), and Cheryl Louden-Kubin (Atlanta)—to explore one of the industry's most enduring debates: typecasting. From its roots in the old studio system to its modern-day implications, the conversation unpacks when typecasting helps actors build careers and when it starts to hold them back.Together, they share insights on how to leverage your “type” strategically, how to prepare to break out of it, and why knowing your lane doesn’t mean staying in it.Plus, hear memorable anecdotes—including one about discovering the perfect cop on the side of the road—and practical advice on making your submissions stand out.Sponsors:Casting Networks@castingnetworkshttps://castingnetworks.com/confidentialRAFY APPhttps://rafy.app/Discount code: CONFIDENTIAL10MZ Studios Dallashttps://mzstudiosdallas.comFollow the show and join our community on socials:@castingconfidentialJoin Our Membership here:https://www.castingconfidential.com/become-a-memberHost, Creator and Producer:Rose Rosen, CSA@roserosencastingKimberly Skyrme, CSA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kimberlyskyrme⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cheryl Louden-Kubin, CSA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@loudenkubin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Robin Carus, CSA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@robincarus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Editor:MZ Studioshttps://mzstudiosdallas.comMusic:Orville Wright@ohyeahbeatsArtwork:Ace Anderson@aceshotthat**Opinions expressed in Casting Confidential podcast are the opinions of each individual and do not represent the opinions of any other group or entity.
