The Real Reason Online Casting Isn't Working For You with Brad Hyland
May 30, 2024
ARE CASTING SITES THE PROBLEM?
Maybe Online Casting sites don't hate you after all? We may hate the algorithms and the business practices and the Terms of Use on some of these sites, but what if that's not the real reason you're not booking and finding success with these platforms?
Brad Hyland is a very successful voice actor, and online casting is one of the places he's booking consistently. He reached out after the "Online Casting Sites Hate You" episode and said he wanted to make a counterpoint. I welcomed his perspective and knew I'd learn something.
The sites may be flawed, but if you're not booking, it may not be their fault. Brad and I dive deeper into what voice actors need to understand about how these sites work, and how to make them work.
