Minday Zemrak has made a mark for herself not only as a casting director extraordinaire but as a 2 time Emmy nominated, casting director! She shares how she went from life in Maine to a student at USC Film School and then to casting director, all while explaining what people should know, when getting ready to audition for a show. She talks about work/life balance as well as what it's like to find out that you've been nominated for an Emmy. Twice!

Mindy takes the time to describe for us what the life of someone working in casting is really like. She also shares tips on how you can break into the biz, just like she did 14+ years ago. Mindy is fun, energetic and was such a great interview. Thanks Mindy!
