A little about Laurie...
Laurie Records - Casting Director, CCDA. Laurie is known for her ability to tend to client needs, control the chaos and make it happen (whatever it may be) with a calm head and a cool, yet ridiculously friendly demeanor. She provides the professionalism of a casting veteran with the fresh eye, passion and excitement of the quintessential new gal (well, sort of) flying solo.
A little background…
A former international touring stage actor and acting teacher, Laurie started advising both industry professionals and actors about the changing commercial world, in January 2004, while working for Casting Networks, Inc. From there she moved into a three year position as a full time Casting Associate where she thrived in casting hundreds of commercials for countless top Advertising Agencies and Production Companies.
In 2009, Laurie opened her own casting company, based in Los Angeles. While she continues casting all types of commercials, she has broadened her horizons to include casting web content for network television, television hosts, high end web series, print, industrials, voice over and dabbles in casting features and short films.
Laurie is a regular guest speaker for numerous top-notch actor organizations in Los Angeles. She continues in her sixth year of advising commercial actors of the do's and don'ts of the industry in her monthly column, "Commercial Actors Should Never..." for Casting Networks, Inc.
