Tired of hearing - or rather NOT hearing "NO?" Well, you aren't the only one!

Rejection in this business is, unfortunately, a very common theme. When an actor does not receive a callback or hear anything back, that is the silent killer of dreams.

Here are tools and fresh perspectives on how how an actor can pull themselves up by the bootstraps when starting to self doubt or lose their enthusiasm for the thing they were once so passionate about!

In this episode, we discuss an actors preparation going into episodic season as well as a check list for every actor (whether you are heading to college or simply gearing up for Fall) to "check in" with themselves/reps/casting sites, etc. This episode is for every actor - no matter where you are in your journey!

When preparing an audition tape, it's common for actors to seek guidance from coaches to fine-tune their performance. However, involving too many voices—whether from acting coaches, friends, agents, or peers—can lead to confusion, overthinking, and a diluted performance. This is often referred to as the “too many cooks in the kitchen” problem. While feedback can be valuable, over-coaching can strip away the actor’s authentic instincts and result in a performance that feels mechanical or overly rehearsed. A strong audition tape should showcase the actor’s unique interpretation of the role, emotional truth, and clear choices. This topic explores how actors can recognize when they’re receiving too much input, how to choose the right kind of support, and how to trust their own creative instincts. It offers insider tips on how to work effectively with one trusted coach (if needed), maintain artistic ownership of the role, and avoid the common trap of trying to please too many perspectives—ultimately creating a more compelling and truthful audition.

Here we focus is on etiquette, boundaries, and industry standards. This episode will serve as a guide for behaving with professionalism — something especially important in the entertainment industry, where personal connections can affect careers.
