July 30, 2026 Acting? Ep. 32 OUR FIRST GUEST CO-HOST
Welcome to another week of Acting?! This week Joanne joins as a guest co-host in T’s absence. She and Alicia share thoughts about a recent self-tape for class before discussing the luxury of theatre rehearsals. Joanne dropped a gem discussing how we raise our talent ceiling when we accomplish something new. I’ll leave you all with this quote from Alicia:
“Just because I can’t do something today, doesn’t mean I can’t do it tomorrow”
