You’re Not Auditioning For Just One Role with Casting Director Andy Roth
Thu Feb 05 2026
Casting director Andy Roth has cast more than 1,000 commercials, along with countless roles in TV, animation, and streaming series. In this episode, Andy pulls back the curtain on how casting really works and why every audition you submit is bigger than the job in front of you.
Andy explains how casting directors “bank” auditions, why relationships matter more than perfection, and how one strong read can lead to dozens of future opportunities. We also dig into mindset, audition anxiety, social media, efficiency in modern casting, and why being yourself is still the most underrated skill in voice acting.
This conversation is a must-listen for any voice actor who wants to stop overthinking auditions and start playing the long game.
What we cover:
• Why you’re never auditioning for just one role
• How casting directors actually listen to auditions
• The truth about “Strong but Wrong” reads
• What makes a casting director lean in
• How auditions build relationships over time
• The role of confidence, ease, and efficiency
• How social media really factors into casting decisions
• Why overthinking hurts more than it helps
• What voice actors should focus on as the industry evolves
🎧 Listen, learn, and start auditioning with a bigger picture in mind.
