Interview with Kimberly Graham
I was very lucky to get an interview with Kimberly Graham. She's a super busy casting director who's always working on tons of major projects, and what's even crazier is that it was her birthday the day we did this interview! But she's an amazingly generous person who spent about an hour with me in what I feel is a fantastic interview all about the casting process and exactly what actors should and should NOT do when submitting and auditioning for projects.

Key Takeaways:
- Know the casting process in great detail. Kimberly explains the casting process is complete detail and explains why it's so important that actors understand it.

- Make sure to keep in touch with casting directors. We discuss some strategies to meet and keep in touch with casting directors. Learn Kimberly herself some of the most accepted and appreciated ways to build relationships (and what to avoid doing) and how you can use those relationships to create opportunities for yourself.
