This month we are delighted to welcome the wonderful Ramani Leah to our Modern Class of Casting Visionaries!A California native who grew up in San Diego, Ramani found her way into casting while attending film school…and the rest, as they say, is history. Known for her standout work on the long-running series Criminal Minds and the Netflix hit My Life with the Walter Boys, Ramani brings both a sharp creative instinct and a deeply grounded perspective to everything she touches. Jessica had the pleasure of working alongside Ramani under the banner of April Webster Casting, and it was clear from day one that her passion and eye for talent set her apart. When Jess stepped into her first role as head casting director, Ramani was one of the very first people she brought on board. Her intuition, and collaborative spirit have always made her an invaluable partner.What makes Ramani’s journey especially inspiring is her experience navigating the industry as a young mother, balancing the demands of casting with the challenges and joys of parenthood. In an industry that too often puts career before everything else, Ramani has forged her own path with grace, strength, and intention. In this episode we discuss...How Ramani started her career in castingHer journey working under casting directorsBeing a young mother and the challenges she faced coming up in the industryHow the industry has changed in terms of casting film and getting approvals through the studio systemHer outlook on the industry as it was and how it stands nowTalent crushes and so much more!Make sure to subscribe, rate and review!

In this episode of Tipsy Casting, Jess and Jenn sit down with couple curators and professional matchmakers Lauren Rosenberg and Jaydi Samuels Kuba — the dynamic duo behind LJMatchmaking and affectionately known as the “Love Agents of Hollywood.”Tune in to hear how Lauren and Jaydi each got their start in the entertainment industry, what inspired them to team up and turn their matchmaking talents into a thriving business, and how they combine showbiz instincts with heart-led strategy to help singles find something real.From insider tips and tricks for navigating online dating to the surprising ways they vet for chemistry, Lauren and Jaydi offer plenty of wisdom — including a few personalized pointers for Jessica and Jenn’s own dating lives.It’s part Hollywood story, part modern love guide, and all heart.Couple curators Lauren Rosenberg and Jaydi Samuels Kuba are your classic Hollywood multi-hyphenates: showbiz veterans by day, professional matchmakers by night. Known as the “Love Agents of Hollywood,” this dynamic duo has built a boutique matchmaking service that blends industry instincts with heart-centered strategy — and a track record of real-life happily-ever-afters.Jaydi, a TV writer whose credits include Family Guy, Salem, and Good Times, first launched LJMatchmaking in 2014 after spotting a major plot hole in L.A.’s dating scene: there was no go-to place for quality singles looking for something real. Her own matchmaking journey even led her to her husband, Dave — though, in true rom-com fashion, she had to “get high on her own supply” and ask him out herself.Lauren, a former TV development executive and producer (Monica The Medium, Checked Inn), has been matchmaking since her early days as an assistant at WME, where she pitched singles the way others pitched scripts. Now a talent manager at Mortar Media, she still channels her gift for spotting chemistry — both on and off screen. Fun fact: she even got engaged on a Comedy Central show (with a little help from comedian Theo Von).Together, Lauren and Jaydi pair intuition with spreadsheets, wish lists with gut instincts, and typecasts with real-life surprises — all while helping their clients cast for something deeper: lasting love.Resources: LJ Matchmaking WebsiteLJ Matchmaking InstagramJaydi Samuels Kuba IMDBLauren Rosenberg IMDBHollywoodWEST (Hollywood Women Executives Stronger Together)────────────────────────────⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay Tuned with Tipsy Casting on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipsy Casting YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Jessica ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Jenn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn More About ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jess ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jenn's⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Casting
