Lisa Pantone

Lisa Pantone started performing in theatre at the age of fourteen. After a few years in front of the audience, she decided to use her talents behind the scenes casting and directing theatre. It was there she realized her love of the art was best suited for coaching and casting. Over the years she has done just that.

Ms. Pantone has now successfully been casting and working side by side with noted film, theatrical,  and commercial directors, writers and producers such as: Vadim Perelman; James Woods; Susan Kirson; Marley Sims; Rayna Saslove; Jason Wolk; Elliot Shoenman; Daniel Shoenman; Rhonda Vernet; Lynn Pateman; Gil Cope; Jake Banks; Rich Kaylor; Joel Lipton; Antonio Cortes; Teresa Antista; Michael Connell; Nic Arnzen; Jeff McQueen; Rod Finley; Bill Werts; Tony, Ridley, and Jake Scott; Rick Linklater; Aaron Lipstadt; Hugh Johnson; Michael Bay; John Schlesinger; Antoine Fuqua and David Deneen. As a result of her instinct for character and her ability to identify the vision of her directors, many of Ms. Pantone’s projects have gone on to be recognized and nominated for numerous awards and honorable mentions.

Ms. Pantone is frequently offered and has often accepted the director’s chair herself on behalf of various independent theatre and actor’s studio productions. This allows her to practice her second love of nurturing, guiding and developing the actor’s craft. Regarded as an “actor’s director”, Lisa has developed a well earned reputation within the acting community throughout the United States as an extraordinary private coach, teacher, and mentor – keeping her very much in demand. Teaching all over the United States, Lisa makes contact through her Master Workshop allowing her a “first look” at fresh, undiscovered talent that she is able to bring to the attention of her directors, producers and ad agencies.

Since opening Pantone Casting in 1983, Lisa has cast a combined total of over 1000 national and international commercials, feature films, movies of the week, television series, industrial films and theater.
