Hollywood shoots and talent scouting what casting directors are all about with Jaimie Beebe.

Looking through the podcasting groups I found people in broadcast media few and far between, then by luck I saw Jaimie offering to guest and the part of the industry she works in is very much near the talent - and some razzmatazz of Hollywood, so I was very happy to have her on the show. For the online studio interview she had a black background with a boom style mic and had an audition feel to it! She gave me the inside track on dealing with actors and actresses and how they make it in the film and TV shoots and working with production crews, very insightful.
