FP Talk / Spring Showcase Reflections with Ali Coffey

At Fishpond, we always want to help you to continuously learn and grow as an artist, and every month, we invite you to listen in (and contribute) to inspiring and enlightening industry conversations. You can always choose to attend live, or watch back afterwards in your Video Library. 

Spring Showcase Reflections
This month, we'll be talking to casting director (and Fishpond founder) Ali Coffey. We were proud to have Ali lead our first Showcase of 2025, where she carefully selected scenes with a pivotal dramatic moment from Primal Fear, Encanto, and Wonder. Ali selected six actors as her standouts (with three special mentions) - you can watch their work here.

Ali will be joining us live to talk more about the Showcase, her standout self-tapes and the art of self-taping in general. We want to help you to make your next audition the best one yet. 

Date: Wednesday 28th May
Time: 1pm
Duration: Approx 40 mins

We're always rooting for you and we're here to help you stay in control of your career. See you there!
