Tech & Talent: Ep 8 -- Paul Ruddy -- Verticals Are Taking Over Hollywood!

In this episode Brett and Jonathan sit down with Los Angeles casting director Paul Ruddy to explore the rapid changes reshaping the entertainment industry. They discuss the rise of vertical dramas (mobisodes/micro‑dramas), self‑tapes, AI tools and how casting processes and distribution timelines have accelerated. Paul shares his career journey from agency work and Hallmark/Lifetime films to casting for vertical platforms, explains how verticals create new career paths and pay well, and debunks common casting myths and misinformation circulating among actors and coaches. The conversation covers practical casting realities — in‑person vs. self‑tape auditions, production speed, what casting directors look for (preparedness, clarity of choice, teamwork), the influence casting has on final decisions, and why actors who adapt now gain a major advantage.

Episode 6: Casting Is Changing If you’re an actor trying to stop guessing, stand out in auditions, and actually book work—this episode is required listening.

You’ll also hear: Why casting still values human connection over perfect tapes What separates actors who almost book from actors who consistently work The real reason some actors get cast (and others don’t—even when they’re better) How props, choices, and bold decisions can make you unforgettable Why clarity in your headshots and branding matters more than versatility The difference between vertical vs. traditional (horizontal) acting—and how to adjust your performance Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at callbacks, industry politics, and how decisions actually get made at the producer and studio level.

Chad Darnell -- Verticals, IP Fears, and the Hustle of Modern Filmmaking

On this episode of Tech and Talent, hosts dive into the collision of AI and entertainment with guest Chad Darnell.

Chad shares behind-the-scenes stories from casting and low-budget productions, including a tense on-set conflict and a last-minute role upgrade.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
