Todays episode provides you with a powerful 3-step solution to one of the biggest problems that most performers face...lying in the audition room. Most performers don't even realize they're doing it...and worse...it's usually the first thing that performers do when the walk into the audition room!! Lying in the audition room strips you of your power, kills the connection between you and the people on the other side of the table, and makes you have to work that much harder to stand out from all the other performers that are vying for the job. 

...remember, at the end of the day, you're only one audition away.
