WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Slaying Your Tapes

In this episode, what does casting look for when you are self-taping?

This week's Wednesday Wisdom is a look inside Slaytember 2026, a three-week live casting class from Anna LaMadrid (HBO's The Rehearsal) and Alyshia Ochse (HBO's True Detective) that walks actors through a full TV pilot audition process — self-tape submission, a Zoom callback, and a live chemistry read with working casting professionals, including confirmed guest Chrissy Fiorilli-Ellington. We get to SEE what casting is actually looking for when they hit play on a self-tape.
