THE SAS AUSTRALIA CASTING SECRETS

This week I have special guest Kirsty de Vallance. Who is a casting genius! Kirsty runs the TV production company 'A Cast of Thousands.' Which has cast some of the biggest reality TV shows in the country and is currently working for Screen-time Australia. Kirsty would have to be one of the most sort after creatives in the country and I have to mention that everyone of the people I spoke to leading up to this chat talked about her empathy, intelligence and ability to un-earth stories at level that most people could only ever dream. You might recognise Kirsty's name for her work on reality, factual and documentary shows like Big Brother, Masterchef, Playing It Straight, The Bachelor, Farmer Was a Wife but today we will focus on the Channel Seven’s smash hit SAS Australia. The Seven Network is of course about to launch their 2nd series of SAS Australia on Monday the 10th of September at 7:30pm and all eyes will be on the 17 celebrities who will face some of the most toughest challenges at the hands of an elite team of EX-SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS! These star recruits will be cut off from the outside world at a secret base in harsh but spectacular terrain, where they will eat, sleep and train together in punishing conditions, with no allowances made for their celebrity status, age or gender. As they’re subjected to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing, these celebs will be pushed beyond their limits.  Kirsty and I will talk about how to stand out in casting, how celebrities get picked, we discuss if we will run out of celebrities and the backstory to her amazing career Learn more about your ad choices.
