Teaches at Acting & Voice Studios

Danielle Pretsfelder Demchick, CSA (she/her/hers) is an advocate manifesting change in how the real world is reflected in today’s media. Her focus is on elevating underrepresented and misrepresented communities, and with disability being the most underrepresented and misrepresented facet of our population, her passion for disability inclusion in media is always front and center in her work.  She has been an active member of the New York casting community since 2004. Nickelodeon was her casting home for over 14 years, where she tapped into her love of developing young talent. From live action and animation, scripted and unscripted, long form and short form, and even podcasts, she has and loves to cast it all! Some highlights from her Nickelodeon years include The Astronauts, The Barbarian and the Troll, Blue's Clues & You, Bubble Guppies, Dora the Explorer, Drama Club, Wallykazam, and Welcome to the Wayne.  

Since her departure from Nickelodeon to open her own casting office in April 2022, some of her favorite credits include RespectAbility's Disabled Children's Content Creator's Lab (sponsored by Netflix), SuperKitties (Season 2,) Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? (Showtime,) Grey House (Broadway,) and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah for Happy Madison Productions (now on Netflix.) She continues to cast Viacom Kids & Family content and has several independent films, animated and live action series, and consulting projects she can’t wait to share more about!
