Welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony on the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today I finally got my 4k camera back. It has been fixed. So that is cool. But anyways, we are in the new 2022 Subaru Impreza courtesy of Apple Subaru in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so I'm in this one today because there are actually a couple of changes for the 2022 Impreza. Not only that, this is a compact car that comes standard with all-wheel drive, which you guys probably already know, but it's not just that. It also is the best all-wheel drive system in existence, which is a very cool thing as well. And so in this video, I will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering for a ride quality sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2022 Impreza. First one being the base sedan starting at $18,795 and there is the premium sedan starting at $22,195 sports sedan for $23,595. There is no limited sedan by the way for the 2022 model year. So we did want to mention that right there, but then the limited hatchback will start at $26,395. And by the way, for this first three trim levels, I didn't mention sedan. They are all available in hatchback form. If you wanted to go that route, simply just add $500 to any of those prices. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Impreza is going to be the same. Powering this little beast is going to be a two-liter, horizontally opposed Subaru boxer engine, putting out 152 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 145 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM. Power sent to all-wheels. They're Subaru's legendary, symmetrical all-wheel drive system. That power sent to the ground through either a five-speed manual, which comes on the base trims or the sport hatchback or a linear Tronic CVT, which of course is what we have today. And by the way, that linear Tronic CVT does come with paddle shifters I'll have, you know, which we will be testing out in a little bit here, but zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 8.5 seconds with MPG numbers coming into 24 in the city, 31 on the highway from the manual, 28 in the city, 36 on the highway for the CVT, so substantially more if you were to go with that CVT, of course, but either way, taking regular unlanded fuel. But so now having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway and let's test out the paddle shifters here first. And before we do that, I did want to mention there is actually a full manual shift mode to the CVT, so it's kind of simulated shifting, but just slide the shifter all the way to the back and to the left and that is going to give me full control and that actually tells me what simulated gear I am in up here on the digital portion of the gauges as well, so it's saying I'm in fifth and there's an Aston Martin Vantage. That's pretty cool. I can downshift. It's going to put me in fourth. That's pretty cool. I like how they do that even though it is simulated shifting. But anyways, let's go ahead and find that straightaway and let's see how quickly these paddle shifters are going to react for us here. Alright, we are in first gear you guys. Let's go ahead and test out the paddle shifters here in sport driving mode. Here we go. Ha! They're not bad. Okay, keep in mind again, it's simulated shifting, but they actually do react pretty quickly, which I kind of like. So if you want to have a little bit of fun with the paddle shifters, seeing as this is a CVT, they're there for you. And they actually do react quick, although wouldn't mind it a little higher quality finish. They are black plastic, but other than that, I shouldn't be picky at this price point. But having now gotten that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's find one more straightaway here. Let's get back full control to the Impreza. Let's do an acceleration test. And like I mentioned before, I did that there. There is SI drive here for the Impreza. That's going to be found on the right side of the steering wheel. You have the choice between sport and intelligence. So if you put in the sport driving mode, it's just going to adjust the shift points, the throttle sensitivity, things like that. So having said that, let me go ahead and leave it in that sport driving mode and let's now test out the acceleration and see how quickly this one can get us here up to speed. All right. In three, two, here we go. I skipped one. All right. A little bit downhill here. Not the quickest thing in the world. I gotta be honest. 0-60 in 8.5 seconds is not the quickest thing in the world. So you shouldn't have any issues in merging onto the highway, but wouldn't mind it if they made this one a bit quicker. I'm thinking probably in the future they may turbo charge the Impreza. Nothing like they have on the WRX or anything like that, but I can imagine them doing that not only for gas mileage, but also give this thing a little bit more pet because this is not the quickest thing in the world. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration, as always, braking is equally important.  In the back, 10.8 inch solid rear disc. As far as that 60 to 0 stopping distance goes, that is going to come in at a very respectable, very impressive 118 feet. And so since we're coming up to a stop sign, let me just, yeah, that feels really good actually. Definitely no issues with any soft braking feel or anything like that. It is on the firmer side, so I can see why that 118 feet number exists. And for reference, typically with sedans or hatchbacks, a lot of times they'll come in in the 120. So 118 feet is definitely plenty respectable for the Impreza. But then touching on suspension and handling up front, you're going to get an independent strut type front suspension. In the back, double wishbone type rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars. As far as ride quality goes, let's go ahead and hit some manhole here. It's fine, definitely no issues. I would actually say it rides a little bit on the smoother side for a compact car. So definitely no issues with that. As far as steering feel goes, that might be the first thing I noticed when I first got in this one. It definitely leans on the heavier side of things, which I personally prefer. There's so many sedans, so many compact cars out there where the steering feels on the looser side. And I don't like that. It didn't give you a better feeling of confidence going into a turn. So a little bit on the heavier side, nothing too crazy, but I do like the weight of the steering here in the Impreza. As far as cabin noise goes, it's actually been perfectly fine. I mean, you are going to get a little bit more wind noise when you get into compact cars. But quite honestly for the Impreza, it's not that bad. So I really don't mind it. As far as visibility goes, that is perfectly fine. I can see perfectly fine out the back. So 100% on point there. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Subaru Impreza. Alright, so here she is, you guys, the new 2022 Subaru Impreza, finished in crystal white pearl. Didn't want to mention, first off on the exterior, there is one new color option for the 2022 model year that will be called Sapphire Blue Pearl. In case anybody wanted the latest and greatest when it comes to color options. But let's go ahead and start up front now of this one. Multi reflector halogen headlights to the side come standard on all trim levels, but the limited, they will come with the automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark out at night, those headlights will turn on automatically for you there. LED daytime running lights, then also coming standard on this one. Fog lights down below, you guys can see those coming with the premium trims and the limited. That's why we have them because we had the premium trim actually today. Then like I said with the headlights, LED steering responsive headlights coming with that limited trim level only, meaning when you're going around the bend at night, those headlights will swivel based on the direction of your steering angle, better help illuminating what is around that bend. So you're less likely to hit a deer or a possum or a rodent or whatever. So that's definitely pretty cool too. But overall, you guys have essentially seen this front end before. I am definitely a big fan of the fog lights down below, but pretty much rounds out the front end of this one. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side of the Impreza. All right. So now since we are around to the side of this one, raised roof rails starting up top here, coming with the premium trims and the limited hatch. That is how you're going to go ahead and get those black window surrounds to come standard when it comes to the side mirrors. They are power adjustable body colored side mirrors for the premium trim level and up. And I put it that way because if you go with the base Impreza, you're actually going to get black side mirrors. And then if you wanted integrated turn signals, go with the sport trim level and up and they will be heated side mirrors then if you were to go with the premium trim level and up. Then taking a look down with the wheel configuration, 16 inch steel wheels with covers coming with those base trims, 16 inch aluminum alloys coming with the premiums. That's of course what you guys are looking at right now. 17 inch aluminum alloys coming with the limited hatch and then 18 inch aluminum alloys coming with the sport trim levels. And then as far as these door handles go, they are body colored door handles for all trims but the limited. So wanted to mention that because the limited trim is actually going to give you chrome door handles in case you were interested. But overall very nice looking side profile to this one. I like the tire black they put on the Impreza. Definitely clean this one up nicely for me so I appreciate that. But anyways, let's now go ahead and make our way to the back of this one. And so now since we are around back, body colored shark fin antenna does come standard. Just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light. Then just below all of it, let me get down a little lower here. There is a single exhaust outlet. It will be tucked away but having said that you can get a stainless steel tip that would not be tucked away. If you were to go with the sport sedan only, that is the only configuration we're going to get that stainless steel exhaust tip. So I did want to mention that but having said all of that, I think you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right so now since we are around back of the Impreza, when it comes to opening that rear hatch there are a few different ways to go ahead and do that. There actually is a button on the key fob to unlock it but essentially it is a manual hatch. So just simply lift up on the hatch itself. But once opened up cargo space comes in at 12.3 cubic feet for this sedan. Then if you were to go with a hatchback like we have here today, 20.8 cubic feet. So substantially more with the hatchback configuration. But either way if that was not enough space there is a 6040 split meaning those rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space then if you needed it. There are actually two grocer bag hooks back there. There's four cargo tie-down anchors. If you wanted a cargo cover which we do have here go with the premium hatch, sport hatch, or limited hatch. Essentially the hatchback trim levels. Cargo lighting also found back there as far as underneath the cargo floor that is where you're going to find your spare tire then in case you were curious. But now let's go ahead and make our way up to the rear leg room here. So that is going to come in at 36.5 inches for both the sedan and the hatchback actually. For reference I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. There is a rear center armrest with cupholders only if you go with the limited trim so we don't have it here today. No rear ventilation. You really don't need it in the car of this size. Dual rear USB charging ports then coming with the sport trim level and up so again we don't have that here with us today. Then making our way to the front seats. Manually adjustable cloth seats coming with the base and premium. Heated front seats coming with the premium trim level and up. You will find leather seating with the limited trim level only. Also with that limited trim you're going to get a power adjustable driver seat but that's the only way you're going to get that because we do a manual seating here with us today but overall seating wasn't actually that bad. Not the very most comfortable seats I've ever tested but actually not that bad for manually adjustable seats without lumbar support. So I will put it that way but anyway so let's now go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped for the sport trim level and up. Otherwise it's going to be wrapped in urethane like we have here on our premium trim level. Then make our way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here.  A pretty basic key there but it is actually a push button start if you were to go with the sport trim level and up. Or it is going to be an option on the premium that we have here today but I will say we don't have that option so it is simply a turn key start for us. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot on the brake and turn the key and so once started up tachometer is all the way to your left speedometer is on your right. There is a small digital display front and center and to control what is on that digital display there are actually steering wheel mounted controls found on the left side there and of course you can adjust your driving modes up there as well using the s i drive buttons on the right side of the steering wheel but it does give you things like how many miles you have left until you hit empty you can choose to display a digital speedometer up there if you wanted to trip a trip a pretty much your basics everything you need up there then making our way to overall interior quality of power moonroof is going to be optional on the premium trim level and up meaning it doesn't come standard on any particular trim level but it is optional on all of those trims alloy foot pedals then coming with the sport terms only automatic climate control coming with the limited and overall I do like the carbon fiber ish looking accents on the doors as well as just above the passenger side glove box there is some nice stitching action going on just above the passenger side glove box as well just in front of the shifter you do have dual usb charging ports a 12 volt power outlet and an auxiliary port there as well and some rubberized storage as well so things don't slide around just behind the shifter you actually have your heated seat buttons and dual cup holders as well and then within the center armrest there's a decent amount of storage with a 12 volt power outlet actually in there as well overall as far as interior quality goes it is kind of on the basic side of things but then again we do have the premium trim level but it gets the job done I'll put it that way but one more thing I wanted to mention there is an auto dimming rear view mirror with a little compass in the upper right hand corner and home light controls so up to three different garage doors that is an option that we do have here today so that's available I wanted to mention it because we do actually have it but it doesn't come standard on the premium but we do have it which is pretty cool but now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment and the tech on this one 6.5 inch color touchscreen display coming with the base in the premium that is what you guys are looking at right now of course and then if you were to go with the sport trim level and up though you're going to get an eight inch color touchscreen display either way you get bluetooth and audio streaming android auto apple car play for any configuration you got to love that so you just simply hook your smartphone up to the impresa via usb cable and you have free navigation displayed up on either configuration that's pretty cool factory navigation system though if you wanted it it's going to be optional on the limited and there is a smaller little tech display up above all of this I want to mention that too giving you your time of the day as well as your outside temperature and some basic information there as well but back to the main screen you can of course check out your radio information up there as well and by the way when it comes to the sound systems four speakers coming with the base six speakers coming with the premium trim level and up but there is an optional sound system that's going to be optional on the sport and limited only that's going to be an eight speaker harming card and sound system with 432 watts but again we don't have that one of course today we do have the six speaker sound system so what do you guys say let's go ahead and turn on that radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one that wasn't horrible for a six speaker sound system Elise it wasn't horrible not the very best I've heard obviously the clarity was pretty good the base could have been a little bit more in my opinion for a six speaker sound system but the clarity was on point it'll get the job done last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that infotainment screen is when you do put the impresa in reverse you will of course find a pretty high definition rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety and so first thing I want to mention IIHS top safety pick which pretty much says it all right there front side side carrier bags do come standard along with the driver's knee airbag up front as well in the back you're going to have latch aka lower anchors until there's your children for the rear car seats rear child door locks tire pressure monitoring system but the fun comes in really when you get the premium trim level and up because that is how you're going to get Subaru eyesight and that's optional on the base trim level by the way it's just standard on the premium trim level and up but that is going to include a pre-collision braking system pre-collision throttle management lane departure and sway warning and then lane keep assist then as well and then if you were to go with the limited that's going to add a few things as well including high beam assist blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and reverse automatic braking then as well and so overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the new 2022 Subaru impresa all-wheel drive coming standard that's what Subaru does with all of their vehicles minus the BRZ almost forgot about that one but love that all-wheel drive system it is tested to be the best all-wheel drive system in existence even now to date so that's a beautiful thing easy to use infotainment screen of course it's a little infotainment screen but it is very easy to use great resale value of course with Subaru is basically because of their incredible safety and that amazing all-wheel drive system as far as room for improvement goes it is a little bit on the slower side I will say that wouldn't mind it if they maybe even offered optional turbocharged engine maybe just for the top trim levels perhaps with the impresa wireless android auto apple car play also would be pretty nice you still have to hook your phone up through a cable on this one which is fine but wireless is definitely going towards the future and so-so fuel economy but that's kind of what you get with all-wheel drive systems these days but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching feel free to follow me on social media

Ma'am, with all due respect, and I really mean this. What happened?  Nathan went on to say he was just kidding. He must have said yes. All he knows, he fought for all freedom this morning, he and second lady Karen has been claiming that they're not together. It's Veterans Day. Thank you to all the veterans who served this country and created freedom here. And here's a great quote from Lincoln about this. I just walked into the airport, well, toward the airport and I found this. So once again, thank you. Oh man, to all of our family, friends that served. It's crazy. My father and myself and for all of the World War II veterans here in Washington, DC, those that are here and those that are not here, we thank all of you, we love you, we honor you and you are the reason for why our country is here, what it is today. God bless you and everyone, and it's a pleasure to be here. The price of freedom is not free. So fitting that they chose to place the World War II Memorial between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, two presidents that, you know, two of the earliest presidents that wanted to protect freedom, not just in our country but in the world. And, you know, so they chose, they put this World War II Memorial just right in the perfect place here in DC. I was not expecting to film this today. I, frankly, I, and this is sad but forgot that it was Veterans Day until, I guess, yesterday. So anyway, let's not forget our veterans. Whew, what a special place. Yeah, I flew for the Navy. We're waiting for our Uber. Did you ever think you'd hear a World War II veteran say, I'm waiting for my Uber? He had a great, he was great. Jeff and Jerry. One last thought on World War II. My grandfather served in World War II. My mom's dad, Leonard Warren, and he survived. He made it back home, thankfully. But boy, he was captured twice and escaped twice by the Nazis. He served mostly in Italy in the, oh, and here's my, here's my ride. But anyway, here he comes. Times have changed. But this is one of the only two airports that the federal government still controls. Oh, okay. This one and that one. Yup. Yes, I will. I enjoyed my time here. That Uber driver was a veteran as well. He served in the Korean War. Thank you for your service, sir.


Hi my name is Beljika and today we're going to talk about Carmen Cuba, Carmen Cuba. If you speak Spanish she is bilingual and I didn't know that. I was a little curious because her name is Carmen and Cuba is her last name Cuba. All of this information that I'm going to tell you is based off of videos that I watched, interviews, articles that I read, everything online and I did see a lot of different information from different resources so I'm going to link everything in the description but because there was a lot of mixed information I only am going to share with you what I heard her say with her own voice so during some interviews because there's some people that said that she was born in Peru which I don't think so. Her dad is from Peru but I don't think she was born in Peru. You have heard of Carmen Cuba first of all. She cast Stranger Things that's what she is mostly known for. That's really what put her on the map publicly so we're going to talk about a little bit of her background what I was able to find online as well as how you can audition for her. She is half Peruvian. Her dad is from Peru and her mom is American. I wasn't really able to find any information about that but in general it sounded like she spent a lot of time in I believe it was Bolivia, Peru and here in the U.S. and because of that she's bilingual so she originally was a journalist in New Mexico and that's what she wanted to do. She was a journalist for Univision if you guys don't know that's a Spanish speaking network and so she went to LA for school and she was working at a law office and in that same building the real world if you guys remember I think the real world still has seasons coming out. I haven't watched it in such a long time but the real world had offices in the same building that Carmen Cuba was working in for the law office and apparently somebody in the elevator was like hey we're doing interviews today for the real world if you want to come up and interview basically you know inviting her to audition for the real world. Well she went to the audition and she was already a fan she had seen I believe at this point there were three seasons or something like that and when she interviewed she was like you know what I love this show but I don't want to be in front of the camera is there any way that you can that I can be a part of it in a different way so she ended up working for them eventually landed in casting for them and after five years of doing casting slash interviews because she did describe these more as interviews because you know it's not like they're performing a monologue in order to get into the real world but she did that type of casting for about five years and then through a friend she was able to get into film casting so she has been doing that for quite a while and she used to do mostly films but now she is doing a lot more tv shows that's really interesting and such a great thing to know that she comes from casting reality because you really have to see who those people are as humans right because for reality shows you're not trying to you know have them perform this specific script you want to see what they have in them for real in real life how are they going to react to different situations representation has always been at the forefront of everything I've done I was a journalist first with univision and uh Abba Kirk in New Mexico that was what I thought I was going to do until I realized it was not the kind of storytelling I really wanted to tell I really do try to get everyone relaxed and everyone connected by talking to each other you know it's a dialogue those moments for me are helpful in figuring out how to give somebody direction because no two actors you can't just give every actor the same three kinds of direction and expect to feel like they can give you something authentic to themselves but still in character I think that gave her that background of casting reality shows for five years really gave her a good idea on how to talk to people and get to know them as humans because in the entertainment industry you do have to have talent but you also have to be able to be somebody that people want to hire films might take a few months but if you're in a tv show it might take like six months to film one season and then if that tv show goes on for years and years you really don't want to deal with adiva or a bad person in general and when I was listening to her in an interview with one of the actresses from Viva the actress said that Herman has this amazing way of she just like starts talking to them and she's recording the whole time and she's recording them as they talk about their lives and that's how she gets to know these people in the way that they express themselves you kind of start seeing the character or not Garmin and Tanya did a really great job not only of casting like very talented actors but genuinely good people and that's always just like a gift when you get to work with beautiful people that are also talented because it just makes it so much easier and much more enjoyable and you and you build relationships that become long lasting and then you you know you're constantly thinking for the next projects like oh I want to bring this person in I want to bring this person in Garmin Cuba really has a way of choosing people that are good genuine kind people in real life so it's really nice to you know go on set and work with people that you really like versus not liking them you know when you're not acting because they're just not great people to work with the shows that she has cast for have had a lot of awards she's also won an arduous award if you guys don't know what that is they have awards for casting and she has won and she's currently nominated for one for 2021 for Mrs America I'm currently watching that so Carmen Cuba is an LA based casting director and she now lives in LA and that's where her offices are based out of but because she is such a huge casting director and she really dedicates herself in finding the right people for the right role versus um you know oh what big name can I put into this film sometimes casting directors have to do that because you know they're they're they're not the people that ultimately make the last decision they have people that are above them so they do have to pay attention to what their directors and the role their producers want but in general a lot of the what I got from the interviews about Garmin Cuba is that she really focuses on casting the right person you know and that's what I strive for that too of just to sort of always forget anyone that I used before and when I read a new script and just find the new people that can tell those stories obviously you can look through my work and there's people and I love working with people again. Some of the work that she has cast recently is Mrs America which is currently on Hulu and then Stranger Things um she's done all seasons of Stranger Things and I know season four right now is still in production as of February 2021 at least that's what it says on IMDB Pro um but a lot of her work that is current and um a lot of the things that kept coming up in a lot of these interviews because Stranger Things has a lot of kids she really enjoys casting kids casting people under 18 she does cast for all kinds of people but she really enjoys that. I am very connected to children and um and uh so like Pan's Labyrinth is another one that I just look at and I think that maybe what that means is that I also like look for that in adults that vulnerability that openness that inability to hide who they actually are I think that I connect the most to the people who still have that access to the freedom of being a child of embarrassing themselves of not being able to protect the very thing about them that makes them different from everyone else. I observe them a lot and I just think that they're much more complicated than we often see in television and and so the mirror of trying to sort of match the complexity of my own children with with finding actors to to portray that was really exciting for me because of course casting children is different because they don't have as much experience as an adult does and they really are more genuine I think um so she really likes to cast children specifically and because she does have such a huge team and she really wants to cast the right person she will often talk to certain agencies globally and try and get as many submissions as possible that are accurate so this brings me to how can you audition for her of course the best way to audition for any casting director especially somebody as big as this because you have to think about everybody wants to audition for her because of her reputation of how successful all of her shows are so how you can audition for her the best way is through an agent because they will have the most opportunities to submit you to her how do you find new talent what where do you look how do you do it watch a lot of stuff um read a lot theater sort of everything that you would imagine and then I actually do have a few sort of key people I have someone in New York who you probably worked with her Heidi Marshall Heidi Marshall is this brilliant theater director and who who has always sort of worked with actors and just is somehow on the ground with up-and-comers in New York and so I'm not gonna lie I send her my breakdowns and she sends me tons of people who don't have agents who aren't and I read all of them because she knows me she knows my taste and um and I trust her and I've cast lots of people from her so that and I have other people like that people who I know are you know who run theater groups who are are at theater schools introduce me to people agents obviously are always sort of pointing out new talent I've actually been thinking about collaboration a lot lately too and including in it agents right because I think we don't and managers representatives I think you don't think about those as those kind of relationships but they make our lives really it really is a huge part of it and and it goes back again to people who know you those are the relationships when you've been around long enough you know when someone calls and they say you know I really think you should check this person out it's a shorthand you go yes fine I'm not gonna don't prove you don't have to prove it to me just I'll do it right and that's huge it's huge for saving time it's huge for staying open all of that but it is it's relationships people you trust people who aren't going to waste your time because you're not going to waste their time but you can also self-submit in some occasions so you should know what her name is Carmen Cuba in order to be able to identify those auditions when you see them online so Actors Access and Casted Talent are a couple of different websites that I would suggest that you create an account for and then whenever there's casting calls and you see Carmen Cuba you know who she is and if there happens to be a big open casting call for that that you can submit to then you can do it through there but again having an agent and if you're interviewing with agents or doing research with agents make sure that if you want to audition for Carmen Cuba you do have that conversation with them and say hey there's these casting directors that are really like their work would you be able to submit me through them have you seen them on these casting websites because in a lot of casting websites like I've said in a lot of other videos casting directors have the option of sending it to just agents for the agents to submit the people that they know will be good for those or agents and actors and one of the auditions Carmen also said that sometimes she will do fake auditions she will put you know some random sides with a pseudo name and she will say hey I need these type of people and give a basic you know outline of what kind of people she wants to submit and then she will be able to audition people from there versus putting out a big casting call for a specific character on stranger things everybody and all of their friends are going to audition for that because that is such a huge show I create fake projects when I'm trying to hide certainly for something like stranger things I wouldn't have wanted to give away that we've had a Russian storyline so I created some search for something that didn't exist and fortunately I've been working long enough that people trust that it's going to be something even if they don't know what it is and so I did this general search for for Russians and used you know fake sides I think we used like mission impossible sides or something so maybe she'll get less attention but people who actually know her will be like okay I definitely want to get in front of Karman Kuba no matter what she is casting for if it's stranger things or any other project because if you have the privilege of having her take a look at your audition then you are in a great place because if she really likes you she is going to keep you in mind for that project or for future projects. Self tapes too because we can see so many more I'm often asking people to tape who aren't going to be right for that part but who look interesting and who I can sort of then catalog for something else. I also have a category in my notes which is interesting but not for this and I could have watched for two seconds and thought that and that gets put into its own thing and I will always go back and look at that. And because she's so dedicated to finding the right person she's also mentioned in a few different interviews that she not only auditions actors through these casting websites but she also has her team and herself look on Instagram and see what actors are posting. Tanya and I actually do a lot of Instagram stalking stalking yes I was like digging yes stalking stalking and we do that before not casting you know we keep in touch we're like oh did you see this woman and Tanya's like who's that. See what actors are posting and ask theater ask other actors like hey what actors that aren't represented do you think I should look at do you have any talented friends that might be able to fit this role give me their information so creating your own work and posting it on Instagram on YouTube is really great because especially right now where she can't go and see a performance of yours in the theater if you have some kind of presence on Instagram or YouTube or one of your acting videos makes it to her then she can you know see your talent without you necessarily having to audition along with these thousands and thousands of people through an actors access um submission so she does do a lot of research outside of all of these casting websites which I think is great but is also um so much work and it shows how great her team is because of course she's not just one person doing all of these different projects she does have a team that helps her in finding the right people and auditioning them. She did mention that when she cast in other countries there are specific agents that she goes to she didn't mention which ones so again doing more research and seeing which agents she has cast from so if you go onto the IMDB for a certain show and you see the actors IMDB pro you see the actors see who they're represented by let's say in um Australia if she cast somebody from Australia well which actor was it and who are they represented by in Australia and you will maybe be able to see okay those agents are somebody that Godman has worked for so essentially doing more research and seeing who she has worked with because she does do a lot of work consistently like Stranger Things she's been doing for seasons now you know so she works a lot with that director those directors those writers those producers and when you continue to see repetition of oh this director uses her a lot or this producer uses her a lot then you can do more research on okay they're working on these five projects maybe one of them will be Carmencuba or in general when you see something you know on a casting site for Carmencuba get on it right away and send in the audition as soon as possible so you are you know maybe one of the first five hundred versus one of the first five thousand and if you want to learn more other than you know the interviews that are available I highly suggest you watch some of her work and of course please watch work that she has gotten uh awards for but also look at work that she's done five years ago 10 years ago uh so you can see her work in action so for example Stranger Things of course you definitely should watch Mrs. America something that I'm watching right now I'm on episode three or four and then I also want to watch Vida I can't believe I still haven't seen Vida and I also want to watch the girlfriend experience just so if I ever have the chance to talk with her I know her work and maybe if she references a character from one of those shows I know exactly what she's talking about but yeah you should definitely watch these casting directors work that will give you such a great idea and if you want to continue to learn more about casting directors I highly suggest the SAG after a youtube channel the back state youtube channel or their podcast in the envelope I believe Breakdown Services Actors Access also has a youtube channel there's just so many interviews and so many casting websites that also do interviews do podcasts and you will learn so much because inevitably they get asked where do you post your auditions do you only go through agents and then you will be able to hear oh I do a lot of casted talent I do a lot of actors access and you will be able to stay up to date to what they're currently using because of course it's always changing and do you want to keep up to date with them in general so that's Carmen Cuba that's all I know about Carmen Cuba and I'm excited to have learned more about her another latinx casting director um thanks so much for watching at the end of every video I feature another channel this is today's feature if you would like to be featured on my next video make sure you're subscribed like this video and leave me a comment


Narcissists are dependent on your reaction. Just a quick video to make you aware of this truth, please like and subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, share the video with anyone who you believe may help. Narcissists are heavily dependent on your emotional reaction to them, it gratifies them, it makes them feel alive, it gives them narcissistic supply, attention and validation, a feeling of power and control over you, they like the way it makes them feel, when they see you react to the things they say and do, it becomes an obsession to them, an addiction.   At least for that brief moment, you may have been wondering, how can the narcissists treat a person this way, without feeling any guilt or shame, they don't feel much guilt, but they do feel shame, I believe this is why they like to use denial, blame shifting and projection, it is an attempt to dodge the guilt and shame they would otherwise feel. They might be successful at dodging the guilt, but it's not that easy to dodge the shame.
