Liz Lewis Casting Partners

Casting offices don’t advertise on billboards. They don’t need to. Liz Lewis Casting Partners has been a quiet fixture in the New York talent pipeline for decades, matching actors with commercials, voice-overs, and episodic work that keeps the city’s screens humming. The agency operates from a third-floor walk-up at 151 W 19th St, a stretch of Chelsea where theater lofts and advertising agencies share sidewalks with the occasional food cart selling dollar coffee.

You won’t find open calls posted on the door; most submissions arrive through reps or carefully timed drop-offs. The work here leans toward the bread-and-butter of the industry—national campaigns, network promos, corporate narrations—rather than the splashy pilot season everyone talks about. It’s the kind of place where a single callback can mean a steady gig for months, if you’re the right fit for the brand they’re building. That fit is what the team spends most of their day refining, in windowless rooms you’ll never see.

If you’re asked to come in, directions are straightforward: the map here will put you on the corner of 19th and Seventh. Bring a headshot, résumé, and the ability to pivot between a mom-at-the-kitchen-table read and a high-energy retail spot—sometimes in the same session. Questions about availability or next steps go to (212) 645-1500; expect a machine, not a receptionist, and leave a message that sounds like you’ve already got the part.
