Why I built this process
Early in my career, I kept getting called in for the same procedural roles — often victim-driven. On paper, they made sense. I could play them. The work was solid. But I wasn't booking them.
What eventually became clear wasn't that I couldn't book victim roles. It's that I don't wear victim well.
My essence screams survivor! Fighter. Winner. Regal queen. That's how I function in story…
So the moment I stopped trying to play "woe is me" and started playing those exact same characters through my actual casting essence, something shifted. The choices got braver. The reads got clearer. And I started booking the victim — not because I learned to be more victim-like, but because a regal queen who has been victimized is approximately one thousand times more interesting than a victim who is just… being a victim.
That didn't come from acting harder. It came from understanding my casting identity — and refusing to abandon it even when the role seemed to require something else.
I built Casting DNA™ as an on-camera actor. But the principle applies just as powerfully to voice actors. Your essence reads through the microphone just as surely as it reads through the lens. The casting world is listening for it.
Casting DNA™ exists so you don't have to spend years figuring yours out the hard way.
Meet your guide
Hi, I’m Adria.
I’m a working actor, writer, filmmaker, and acting coach who’s spent more than three decades building a career in this industry.
Along the way I’ve appeared in projects including The Artist, Mad Men, and dozens of television, film, and commercial productions. I’m also an award-winning filmmaker and a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
But what I love most is helping actors gain the kind of clarity that changes the way they approach their careers.
Because when your materials truly communicate who you are, the industry can see it too.
