Olissa Rogers works in casting as a casting associate and has recently started casting projects independently as a casting director. Olissa is an incredibly positive, and forward-thinking person who absolutely understands the need for kindness and wellbeing in our industry. 

Olissa is an ambassador with the incredible Wellbeing in the Arts who provide vital supportwithin the arts industry.  

Olissa’s positive, supportive social media channels lift people and make twitter a better place…..in my humble opinion! 

We chat all things work/life balance and how Olissa has managed that over time, sustaining positivity and resilience throughout her life to live life to fullest.  

We talk about the challenges of a post pandemic industry and how short lived some of the ‘we have to slow down and reflect more’ mantras became, leading to even more stress, more work and eventual burnout.  

We discuss mental health in the industry and what more we can do, including the hot topic of ‘yes/no’ post audition with an interesting and insightful casting perspective.  

Olissa shares her tips on boundaries now that modern life feels busier than ever before.  

Olissa says “failure makes you stronger” – I love how powerful that is!  

This is an uplifting, positive and realistic look from adifferent vantage point and I loved it! 

Enjoy!
