Alison’s reel showcases her impressive talent and range, and her self-taped work is of excellent quality. Her headshots and resume are also top-notch. Overall, she is a very talented actor with a great look for film and TV. I highly recommend her and look forward to seeing more of her work in the future.

Your look, timing, and charm are on display, making you competitive in today’s market. Headshots show off your lovely personality, but consider removing unnecessary photos. Recurring is fine to list on your resume, but avoid labeling it as a “Recurring Character.” Keep me updated via email for future work, and consider showcasing more quirky characters to enhance your versatility. Your fantastic credits and great look make you stand out, but continue to work on your comedic timing as the industry shifts towards more character-driven roles.
— Paul Dinh-McCrillis, Casting Director
Loved your performances in all the projects in your reel. Your resume is impressive, and I can see that you have a specific ‘type’ that you excel in. When you’re ready to expand your range, adding a variety of roles to your reel and headshots will help. Your work is extremely competitive in today’s market, and I would love to see more of it. Keep pushing, believe in your talent, and keep seeking knowledge. You’re doing better than you think!

Great reel! Strong and versatile content with good scene choices and lengths. Competitive in today’s market, especially in strong/resilient female roles. Good headshots and resume. Would love to see more versatility in period roles or other genres. Consider trying voiceover work as you have a clear voice. Good work!
— Anna Erikson, Senior Producer & Casting
You are super competitive in todays marketplace. I see work for you in most breakdowns. You are a hybrid of mature leading lady/character actor. Educated, corporate, mom, neighbor, the list is long. Your reel has a nice thru line that felt appropriate for your natural range. It also showcases nice fluid work that has layers. Easy to watch, diverse material and a clear example of your casting, range and obvious talent . I also saw a trained actor, which takes me back to my layered and organic comment. Well done!
— Mitch Clem, Talent Manager - LA
Alison clearly has a great approach to her craft and is excelling in it. Hope to someday work with her.
— Tom Ohare, Casting Director
I think you are on the right path. You are at a point in your career that you don’t need “any” agent (if one ever does, actually), do your research to find the right one for you. Set clear career goals for yourself and go to your meetings with a clear game plan, you can totally choose who to work with right now.
— Chiara Licciardello, Agent, UGA Talent
Great reel, great selection of work. You have been in a few of my favorite shows! Very Believable!
— Lora Vinson, Talent Agent, Classic Talent Agency
Keep it up! You have special talent and it is clear you know what you are doing and love what you are doing!
— Jacqueline Wheeler , Agent, The People Store
You are quite competitive in today’s market. Strong reel, great headshots and the performance to go with it. You have an A lister quality about yourself.
— Tonya Hensley, Talent Agent, TDH Talent Unlimited
Your resume is extremely impressive.
— Brian Twohig, Talent Manager, Roger Paul Inc.
I think you are a very prepared and polished performer. Did you take time out to have a family then come back into the business? What you have done is great and you are going in the right direction.
— Miles Anthony, Agent, MAA Associates
Really nice work! Keep working on building those Guest Stars, and I’d say you have enough co-stars now that you should pass on those to keep moving the needle.
— Nicole Wichinsky, Agent, Stewart Talent
You are ripe for recurring roles on TV (think attorneys, cops, executives, TV anchors) - which is where I’d focus my efforts! Great work - keep it up :)!
— Melanie Forchetti, Casting Director, Forchetti Casting
So much versatility in the characters- with the range you show in the reel it’s clear you can do anything, even rapping :)
— Jami Rudofsky, Casting Director, Faison/Rudofsky Casting
I’d be interested in seeing you explore dramatic roles, probably playing types such as a businesswoman overwhelmed by pressure, an unfulfilled middle-class mom, a police detective or an attorney.
— Carlos Rodriguez, Talent Manager
You are wonderful and I hope to see more of you, I would love to see you in more comedy and fun roles, you have a great smile and your whole face comes to life. I think you would be that fun free spirit mom, wife and neighbor that could play both to comedy and drama.
— Gisela Shiffer, Talent Manager, 3G Management
My biggest note to Plum on our session is that they should be using you as much as possible! You have a wonderful on-screen presence: warm, relaxed, welcoming. You’re a pleasure to watch!
— Frances Cole
Well, just terrific reaction to you after you left. The chief photographer, graphics guy and cameraman were amazed, saying “is she this good just coming in off the street?”. Everybody who saw the taping talked about how good you were and you WERE! Those kinds of lines I wrote aren’t at all the easiest things to deliver - but you committed to it, you have got the ability and you were amazing.
— Jim Watkins, CW11 News Anchor
Triple threat…. Actor, producers, and just all around wonderful peep!

Truly enjoyed seeing the plays last night and hope that this is the first of many to come. Each of you brought depth and humanity to these already well-written pieces. So so nice.
— Christine Cirker
You could definitely do all the procedural /medical shows here. You could definitely play a detective or senator role , which there will be more of, also there are a lot of multi cams you are right for out here.
— Mark Smith, Agent, The Savage Agency
I’d love to see more comedy from you, as I feel like it’s a refreshing “other side” of who you are! I feel like you are so good and such an excellent look on camera - easy & natural. I like it so much.
— Holly Buczek, Casting Director, Wojcik/Seay Casting & HDB Casting
You are in a highly competitive and over populated demographic of the industry but I think the range of the material you have available shows you off well and makes you a viable option to consider for roles I am casting that match your type. I think your reel in conjunction with your resume would stand up well to others.
— Scott Wojcik, Casting Director
I totally believe your representation of the characters whether she be a newscaster, therapist, wife or professional business woman. Always room for a smart, professional woman who can play drama or comedy.
— David Bellantoni, Casting Director, Beth Melsky Casting
It’s amazing booking on the hottest show (Succession) of the past two years. I feel like there’s a nice sense of the work you have done and a nice sense of the range you have as an actor. It’s strong and competitive in this marketplace.
— Anthony Aiello, Talent Manager, One Entertainment
You are very competitive with today’s market. Although diversity is strong now there is always a role for you as a strong yet sensitive woman. I like you for smart roles. But have to say you have great comedic timing.
— Barbara SchulmanTalent Manager, Oxford Talent Management
You are a lovely actress and I feel would be easy to cast.
