Entertainment Casting Director Tells All for the Actors

As a casting director, I've cast multiple television series for streaming and cable networks such as HBO and USA, over 50 films, 300 commercials, 100 plays, seven pilot presentations for networks such as Bravo, and various new media projects. I was the resident casting director at Washington, D.C.’s Folger Elizabethan Theatre for ten seasons. Films I've cast have won awards and been official selections at all major film festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, and Cannes. I was the Co-Producing Director of the Washington Jewish Theatre, the Production Manager at Washington Shakespeare Co., and the Associate Producer of the Washington Theatre Festival. I've worked with thousands of actors, helping them book roles, make career choices, and secure representation. I now bring my expertise to the world of business and beyond. I teach innovators, executives, salespeople, and collaborators how to deliver authenticity. I've provided presentation coaching for the senior executives at Boehringer Ingelheim, casting expertise for Hubspot’s sales managers, Special Sauce workshops for Library of Congress, and many others. I lead ongoing interactive group workshops with 28Muses and provide counsel on The Boston Globe’s podcast, Love Letters. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Acting for Shenandoah Conservatory's BFA Acting Program. I also teach acting and audition techniques as a guest artist at several other universities, including Montclair State University, Muhlenberg College, and the University of Maryland at College Park. I'm a CultureTalk certified coach, focusing on the study of archetypes and how they apply to individuals and organizations. ​Learn more watch here now! Stay connected: https://www.chonacas.com/links/
