Are you tired of wondering if your self-tape was actually any good?

Most actors never hear the truth about their performances - and without real feedback, it’s easy to stay stuck.

If you've ever walked out of an audition or hit "send" on a tape with no idea whether it was strong or not, you're not alone.


This silence can slowly chip away at your confidence and make you question your talent.


In this episode, you'll uncover:


– The surprising reason most actors never get honest feedback - and how that stunts your growth

– How self-doubt sneaks into your performances and quietly holds you back

– A smart way to start getting the feedback you actually need to improve fast

If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing, hit play now and learn how to get the truth about your work - so you can start booking more roles with confidence.
