Spring Showcase Reflections
For our next meetup, we’ll be joined live by casting director and founder of West Coast Casting, . We were proud to have Mairéad recently lead our second showcase of 2026, where actors had the option to tape in Irish or in English. You can watch Mairéad’s standouts here, and read her comments on what made these particular tapes stand out to her.
Together, we will revisit the standout performances, unpack what made certain tapes land so strongly, and explore the craft of self-taping in a practical, real-world way. This is a chance not only to gain insight, but to engage directly with Mairéad and fellow Fishpond actors. It’s all about connection.
Q&A
This meetup will involve a Q&A, so be sure to tune in and have your questions for Mairéad at the ready. Make the most of this opportunity to connect with one of Ireland’s most hard-working casting directors.
We’re always rooting for you and we’re here to help you stay in control of your career.
We can’t wait to see you there,
From Aislinn and all at Fishpond
