Connecting iPhone to the Studio?

Ok, perhaps a little off topic for this sub, but I figured I'd give it a chance. Given voice actors (and related industry folks) seem to be a significant presence on Clubhouse, it's gaining notoriety as a place to be heard. Given it's iPhone-only at present...

Building relationships with Casting Directors
