Episode 12 : Inside the Casting Pipeline: The Auditions Actors Never See

In this live episode of Onstage Casting Call, David Greenwood OAM and Brian Coppock take actors behind the scenes of the casting process and unpack the opportunities many performers never see publicly. From Casting Networks, Showcast, Altai and StarNow through to producer portals, private briefs and direct industry relationships, this episode explores how professional casting opportunities actually move through the industry, and why representation can make such a difference. David and Brian discuss what agents do behind the scenes, why actors are not submitted for every role, what makes a performer more casting-ready, and how headshots, profiles, self-tapes, communication and reliability all shape professional opportunities. This episode is ideal for actors, musical theatre performers, screen talent, emerging artists and parents of young performers who want a clearer, more practical understanding of how the casting world really works. Hosted by David Greenwood OAM and Brian Coppock. For representation enquiries, contact agency@centrestage.org.au.

Episode 11: Don’t Fall in Love With Your Work with Alan Menken

Last night, David Greenwood OAM attended A Whole New World of Alan Menken at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, a remarkable celebration of one of musical theatre and film’s most influential composers. In this reflective episode of Onstage: Casting Call, David explores one of the hardest lessons in creative work: don’t fall in love with your work, because even brilliant songs, scenes, auditions and ideas can end up on the cutting room floor. Using Alan Menken’s performance and the history of cut songs from shows like Little Shop of Horrors as a starting point, this episode looks at creative resilience, feedback, self-tapes, collaboration and the discipline required to serve the story rather than protect your ego. Brought to you by CentreStage.

Episode 10: Why Talent Isn’t Enough: Casting, Self-Tapes & Industry Reality with Steven Tortosa

In this episode of Onstage Casting Call, David Greenwood OAM and Brian Coppock sit down with Steven Tortosa from Cummings and Partners to unpack what really happens behind the camera and in the casting room. Steven shares a candid look at how productions are brought to life, from executing creative ideas within budget to managing high-pressure shoot days and complex regulations, especially when working with young performers. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice. It tackles: * What casting directors and producers actually look for in talent * Why your self-tape might be holding you back * The growing shift towards “real people” casting and what that means * The impact of rising industry rates on opportunities * How professionalism and preparation can make or break your career If you are serious about booking work and understanding how the industry really operates, this episode gives you the clarity most performers never get.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
