EP 216 Ivy Isenberg: Animation Casting Director - Call of Duty &amp; Robot Chicken

Chuck and Stacey bring you the respected Casting Director of animation,  video games, film and television, Ivy Isenberg of Ivy Isenberg Casting.  She is a USC Film School graduate who went on to work at MGM Studios on  Stargate and Stargate Atlantis, the Species movies with Natasha  Henstridge and now on projects like Comedy Central’s Jeff and Some  Aliens, Trip Tank, Robot Chicken and Call of Duty.   Ivy discusses  her process for casting Performance Capture for video games and  animation and why she goes overboard with submissions to make sure there  are plenty of choices which includes giving deserving new talent an  opportunity. She answers what she needs to hear in voiceover auditions  to garner a callback and why she saves every audition for future  consideration. Ivy mentions the kinds of actors she won’t hire and  challenges actors to train and educate themselves, be dedicated and  proactive with their careers.   Striving to be the best at  everything she does, Ivy discusses the importance of why talent needs to  balance both art and commerce to be successful and that finding  talented actors who are reliable and deserving are actually in the  minority. She explains that she casts through agents and managers and  will consider people outside Los Angeles for projects if they are  actively working. While talent can’t do much to get on her bad side, she  has zero tolerance for actors who do boring auditions, have a bad work  ethic, lack commitment and are unprepared.     She attends  showcases and monologue festivals to scout new talent and listens to  demos when casting to find a person’s range, accents, tone, comedic  timing and cadence. Ivy offers insights on what “natural, not cartoony”  means in audition specs from interpreting it with engaging, emotional  connection based on what it’s for, the platform, network and time slot.
