Email Signature Women in Entertainment_edited.jpg

Every person has a story. We created the Women in Entertainment Podcast to share different perspectives and give our community the opportunity to learn from each other’s respective paths. This is a dedicated space for our guests to discuss lessons, pivots, and changes they have made throughout their journeys and how they’ve harnessed creativity for inspiring and impactful projects. Hosted by Women in Entertainment Co-founders, Renee Rossi and Gretchen McCourt, the podcast will feature a series of interviews with a variety of extraordinary people.

THIS WEEK'S GUESTS

With the Academy Awards approaching this Sunday, and the debut of the new, long awaited category “Achievement in Casting,” three heavy hitting casting directors join us to pull back the curtain on what their craft really entails, from process and how they build lists, to what special qualities they look for in actors, the emotional weight of the job, and more. Hear from Christi Soper, DreamWorks Animation Head of Casting; Lisa London, who first cast some of today’s biggest stars, from casting Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana and more; and Liz Lewis, who casts for Hallmark and others.

Self care for me now is just really talking well to myself and not keeping anybody around me that is full of BS,

authenticity is important and it's being authentic

to yourself as well as externally.
