Today on What's My Frame? I'm joined by casting associate, Missy Finnell of Donna Belajac Casting. Missy is truly a delight with an unmatched heart for actors; this episode could have easily turned into two or three parts! I've auditioned for Missy & Donna a number of times and always felt so empowered and also connected to the office in the virtual audition world because of the ladies' attention to detail. DBC actually holds office hours to answer questions and support actors through their auditions, something we go into more detail on today. Missy's casting resume includes Mayor Of Kingstown, A Man Called Otto, American Rust and countless others! Another topic Missy and I discuss is the often confusing and sometimes frustrating subject of getting repeatedly called in for a show but not quite booking it. I hope this conversation sheds some light on how this is a positive and not a negative and how casting is truly fighting for actors behind the scenes! Now let's get to the conversation! https://www.donnabelajaccasting.com/default.aspx --- Hosted by Laura Linda Bradley Join the WMF creative community now!

Tyler and guest Emma Gruhl (@emmagruhl Chicago based Casting Associate) discuss one of her favorite Disney films and one that Tyler hadn’t seen in a decade. I mean of course if it’s Alan Menken, I’M IN. But this is a dark and harrowing tale YALL. The voice acting—TOP NOTCH, the cast—ABSOLUTELY STACKED, the score terrifying and amazing. And yet we still can’t get over how horrible Frollo (Frollo baggins, as referred to in this episode) is and his zealot like energy. Aside his insanity, we get Demi Moore and Kevin Kline falling in love, we get comedic relief in gargoyle form and the Covid anthem OUT THERE—and we love to see it. Magical music by Eric Backus
