In this bonus episode of Casting Confidential, host Rose Rosen, CSA, reunites with powerhouse panelists Cheryl Louden-Kubin, Kimberly Skyrme, and Robin Carus for a candid conversation about the future of casting. As AI tools, self-tapes, and digital workflows redefine the casting landscape, the panel explores what technology can never replace: the human touch, the eye for talent, and the years of experience casting professionals bring to the table.


From the evolution of casting during and after the pandemic, to the misconception that casting directors are an “extra” expense, this episode is a passionate plea for the continued value of professional casting. Whether you’re an actor, director, or producer, this is your behind-the-scenes look at how casting shapes productions from the ground up.
