Loved this episode!

This was a fantastic podcast episode! Margie has this wonderful humor and is a natural storyteller. I love that each episode is infused with her wisdom and bits of mentoring. Victoria was so interesting, I loved hearing her point of view and what really stands out to her as a casting director. It's great to hear support for actors taking risks and to stop trying to predict what they think CDs want. So much great advice and wisdom!
