3 Words to Leave Out of Cover Letters That Will Please Casting Directors
If you’ve ever stared at a blank cover letter thinking,
“I don’t know what to say”
or “What do other actors write that actually gets read?” - this episode is for you.
In this podcast, I’m breaking down one of the most common mistakes new and early-career actors make in cover letters - and why it’s quietly holding you back from auditions, meetings, and opportunities.
You’ll discover:
- The certain words casting directors expect (and therefore ignore)
- How cover letters become harder when you put casting on a pedestal
- The simple mindset shift that turns cover letters from a chore into a tool
- How to paint a picture of who you are as an actor without overselling or cringing
- Why storytelling beats adjectives every single time
This episode is for actors who:
- Love the craft but hate “selling themselves”
- Feel unsure what value they bring to a casting director
- Want more auditions, better roles, and clearer traction in their career
- Are ready to stop overthinking cover letters and start using them strategically
Cover letters don’t have to be long, clever, or perfect.
They just need to do one thing well - and once you understand that, everything gets easier.
If booking more auditions and roles in 2026 matters to you, this episode is a must-listen.
