Behind the Curtain: Acting, Auditions & The Entertainment Industry

Actors, casting directors, and entertainment industry insiders are finally having the honest conversations the industry has always avoided, and Behind the Curtain is where those conversations live. Host Anastasia Pioro sits down with working actors, casting directors, voice coaches, headshot photographers, filmmakers, and producers across Canada and the US to talk about what it looks like to build a creative career. Every episode goes beyond the highlight reel to uncover the personal journeys, the rejection, the resilience, and the real stories that shape people who choose this path. Honest conversations around questions like: How do I become an actor with no experience? How do actors deal with rejection? What do casting directors actually look for? Is acting school worth it? How do I get a talent agent as an actor? What is it really like to be a working actor? How do actors build confidence for auditions?
