I hear it all the time from actors “I want to network,” but then they ask me the same question:

“Okay but WHERE are the events?”
So I did the work for you 👏🏼

I made a FREE PDF list of upcoming actor networking events, so you can stop guessing and start showing up.

🎭 Want it? Comment “EVENTS” and I’ll DM it to you.

From dream to reality ✨

Today, I am thrilled to share with you an idea that has been three years in the making: Good Faith Casting Brand Video! 🎥🌟

It’s been a journey of passion, determination, and countless late nights, but we made it happen.

This video embodies everything we stand for and showcases the incredible talent we work with.

I couldn’t be prouder to finally unveil it to the world ✨💕

We started this year’s conference with… a FLASH MOB. 💃🔥 (Because why not kick things off with a lot of energy?)

And that was just the beginning.

This year felt different. We didn’t just show up, we went deeper. We asked harder questions, dreamed bigger dreams, and held each other accountable to chase what feels impossible.

Two full days of connection, breakthroughs, and “aha” moments that made me think… I don’t want this to end. 🫶

Here’s the truth: when you get in a room with people who want more for their lives, more courage, more opportunities, more growth, you can’t help but rise too.

And THAT’S the kind of magic I’ll be carrying with me until next year. ✨

I get it. These moments feel high-stakes. You finally have a casting director in front of you and you don’t want to waste it.

But asking “how do I get cast” at a networking event isn’t networking. It’s a transaction.

People feel the difference 👏🏼

Networking doesn’t have to be awkward. It just has to be human. Stop trying to get something from the person in front of you. Start trying to actually connect.

That’s what gets remembered. That’s what opens doors 🤩

DM me the word CASTING and I’ll tell you more about Casting Connection Academy, where I teach actors how to build real relationships with casting directors, without the cringe.

Yes, taping your script next to the camera or using a TelePrompTer might feel like a shortcut, but it’s sabotaging your performance

Where your eyes go tells the viewer where to look, and we can 1000% tell when someone’s reading! 👀

Memorization isn’t the enemy; it’s your secret weapon for believability.

Every rep you put in now builds the muscle you’ll need when a showrunner drops 10 pages on your lap the morning of the shoot 🤩

Let me know in the comments your favorite memorization technique that’s helped you!

Networking makes actors feel icky?

It often comes off as transactional instead of human. Flip the script: lead with curiosity, ask about their process, the project that lights them up, or how they got started.

If your brain freezes, ask a question like
- Any fun travel plans coming up?
- What shows are you loving right now?

People love talking about themselves. Use this at your next event!

If you want to build casting director relationships without the ick…

No one says this out loud.

🎬 First auditions? We’re looking for reasons to move you forward.
🎬 Callbacks? We’re looking for reasons to CUT you.

It’s true, and it’s important as an actor to understand the environment changes.

Yes, your craft very much matters, but then clients and directors are thinking, “Can this person take direction in the moment? What is it going to be like to spend ten hours a day on set with them? Are you just a cool human being to be around?”

Callbacks might not happen every day. But when they do, I want you to be ready 👏🏼

If you want to connect and learn directly from directors, then you should definitely be at the @swactorsconx this August 7th and 8th in Scottsdale, Arizona. Today’s the last day you can save $75 off your ticket Code “memorial75”

Lots of new faces around here. Hi,👋

I’m Bella Hibbs, your Scottsdale-based casting director at Good Faith Casting!

I cast commercials across the country and film/tv throughout the Southwest.

♊️ As a proud Gemini, I live for networking and meeting new people, yet I’ll happily stay in with a chilled French white Burgundy. 🍷

I’m still obsessed with The Vampire Diaries and my big casting goal is to bring a supernatural show to life.

Comment below your favorite TV show or movie!

Hot take from your friendly casting director: auditions are not feedback sessions, and that’s okay.

Recently I had a callback where an actor made it all the way to the top 2 selects for a great-paying commercial.

She did everything right. Truly nothing she could have done differently.

I sent her rep personal note because she deserved to know that. Those moments matter to me 💕

But here’s the truth most actors want hear:
That kind of feedback is the exception, not the rule. Casting is doing a job, finding the right fit for a specific role. A pro/con list for every actor isn’t part of that process.

So if you’re refreshing your inbox after every audition waiting for notes… I need you to redirect that energy.

The feedback you’re craving lives in:
✅ Your acting class, consistently, intentionally showing up
✅ Your own self-reflection, what went well, what you want to refine
✅ Your journal, seriously, if you know The Artist’s Way, you know 😉

Trust your craft and keep doing the reps.

Casting directors look at your headshot first when deciding to bring you in for an audition!

A professional headshot that clearly communicates who you are and your professionalism is step one to making a connection.
