Episode 38 - Schall We Talk with Casting Director Erica A. Hart

Special episode this week of Schall We Talk as we have Casting Director, Producer, writer and friend of Robyn’s….Erica A. Hart. Years ago, Erica took a chance on me and cast me in my very first scripted TV role. She had no idea where my career was headed, and honestly... neither did I.Today, Erica is one of the entertainment industry's most respected casting directors, with credits including Survival of the Thickest, The Equalizer, That Damn Michael Che, Broadway productions like Death of a Salesman, Pass Over, and Chicken & Biscuits, plus commercials for L'ORÉAL, GEICO, Quaker Oats, and so much more. She's a producer, writer, educator, and one of the kindest people I've met in this business.This conversation isn't just for actors. Whether you're chasing a dream, changing careers, or just trying to figure out your next step, Erica shares advice that honestly applies to all of us. I walked away inspired, and I think you will too.We also talk about how she cast me in my first TV role, what casting directors really notice in auditions, the biggest mistakes actors make, why getting an audition is already a huge accomplishment, and somehow... we end up talking about my unforgettable role as a dead buffalo. 😂I can't thank Erica enough for coming on Schall We Talk. This is one of my favorite conversations we've had.Reminder to get your tickets to the Bachelorette Comedy Show in Boston and New York - https://robynschall.com/upcoming-shows/Totebags and prints on our Etsy Page - https://www.etsy.com/shop/RobynsBookShopProducer shout-outs: Susan Santoro, Melissa Kirsch, Veronica and Deanna, Tamar Fix, and Dr. Piano ManJoin our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/SchallWeTalk#ShallWeTalk #RobynSchall #EricaAHart #ComedyPodcast #Podcast #ActorLife #Acting #CastingDirector #AuditionTips #FilmIndustry #Television #Broadway #Entertainment #CreativeCareers #WomenInEntertainment #Comedy #BehindTheScenes #CareerAdvice #NYC #YouTubePodcast #SpotifyPodcasts #DreamBig #PerformingArts #EntertainmentIndustry #Inspiration
