New Year, New Season of Actors With Issues! For our first episode of the year we are joined by former casting director and current acting and audition coach Sam Stiglitz. Sam got her start as a theatre performer with aspirations of becoming a Broadway performer. When she realized she wasn’t the biggest fan of New York City (no offense taken!), she made the move to Los Angeles, and after interning at a casting office, began her career in casting. Since then, she’s worked with some of the biggest offices in LA, started her own office and made the transition to coaching clients. 
“I found with having my own office the same thing that I found with acting: I don’t like promoting myself. I didn’t like having to call executives and say ‘hey I’m here, gimme a show!’” she shared. So, Sam instead turned to coaching actors for their auditions on a referral-only basis, reaching out to agents and managers to connect her to their clients, eventually becoming one of the go-to audition coaches for actors.
