Izad Etemadi
Hey all! My name is Izad (pronounced E-Zad). I'm an actor and screenwriter who has had the benefit of working in casting for 7+ years. Seeing how the other side operates opened up my eyes and changed my approach to auditioning. Comedy and commercials are my specialty but I have experience in all genres and styles. As your reader, I am here to support you and play with you so that you deliver the strongest audition possible. I am also happy to coach you and give notes - just let me know! As a coach, my passion lies in helping actors bring their authentic self to a scene.
Currently I have my own series in development with a major production company, am co-producing a feature film, and you can see me recurring on the upcoming series Orphan Black: Echoes!
