Extremely thorough and helpful insights
Jeffrey presents genuine truths and brings attention to aspects that are not typically considered on a daily basis within the industry. He emphasizes the qualities of a disciplined, professional actor that everyone desires to collaborate with. With his authenticity, it's clear that he genuinely wants to assist - this is evident to anyone listening to the podcast, or as we like to call it, the "podio"!

The Ultimate Podcast For Actors
“Casting Actors Cast is, without a doubt, the ultimate podcast for actors. Jeffrey provides some of the most valuable insights into the true essence of being an actor, the requirements of being a professional, sound advice on navigating various facets of the industry, and truly practical, intelligent, and useful information that will make your journey more productive and enjoyable. Most importantly, it comes from someone who has experienced both sides of the table, as an actor and a casting director. He has been successful at both, and, most importantly, he cares. He genuinely cares about actors and the art of acting. Do yourself a favor and listen to Jeffrey's podcast and take his advice. It's a gold mine for actors.”

“I learned many new things about self-taping. I can't say enough about Jeff. He was enthusiastic, patient and very informative. His feedback on my acting was very specific and helpful. I would definitely take the class again."
“Jeffrey Dreisbach has a wonderful combination of warmth, fairness, kindness, supportive demeanor - AND the behind-the-scenes expertise that makes a Self-Tape class like this SO valuable. THANK YOU to you and Jeff!”
... how impressed I was with the quality of his teaching and the amount of information and value I got out of the class.... Jeff's knowledge of the process is amazing, and he teaches in a way that is really easy to learn from and put into practice. He was incredibly generous with his time as well!
Goldmine of information
Amazing advice for all actors.
Long time listener. I never leave reviews; but here I am. This podcast should be part of every actor's
tools. Whenever I feel the need to get re-grounded I come back to replay old episodes... specially when my ego is growing like a monster or I am starting to care too much about what others think of me, etc; etc. If I need a jump start into my script analysis or audition readiness, I can play a relevant episode and get back to basics AND get in the right mindset for interacting with other industry professionals.
Helpful and Fun
So practical and helpful!!! This podcast is so helpful in the information provided in the clarity/is at the delivery. It’s also really fun to listen to and one of my new favorites. I’ve gotten a lot of tangible advice that I’ve already started applying and I can’t wait to listen more!
