Evolving with Emily

In this episode I talk about the Inner Game of Auditioning and what that means. Using W. Timothy Gallwey's book titled "The Inner Game of Tennis" as base material, I explore his ideas about how Self 1 vs. Self 2 shows up on the tennis court and then use concrete examples of my own to demonstrate how you can apply these same ideas when approaching an audition.

In these unprecedented times, I thought I would reach out to all of you in hopes that I may be able to offer you some guidance and just plain old love.

In this episode I interview actor and director Sheila McCarthy. She talks about her 40+ year career in the industry and gives some excellent insight and advice for anyone entering the business. She also shares some very funny stories (of how an innocent line flub made by one of her daughters ended up making her one of the funniest characters on Emily of New Moon) and she talks about her time playing Anges on the hit Netflix series THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY.

In this episode I interview Classical Violinist, Sarah Pratt. Sarah talks about her journey to first becoming a professional musician in Canada and now the U.S., coming from a small town of 5,000 people in Ontario, Canada to now making her home in New York City.

In this episode I interview actor Amaka Umeh. She is making history in 2020 at the Stratford Festival being not only a woman playing the iconic role of Hamlet but also as the first artist of colour to play the role on the Festival stage.

As the Holidays are approaching, I feel inspired to examine the idea of Kindness - what it means during our everyday lives and how we can strive to be kind more than just during this "special time of year" but rather all year round.

In this episode I interview Canadian Playwright and Order of Canada recipient, Norm Foster.

In this episode I take a break from my interview series to talk about setting your Personal Price (Your Worth) as an artist. Sometimes we find ourselves so eager for acceptance we abandon our gifts and find ourselves believing that what we have to offer is small or insignificant.

In this episode I interview actor and playwright Kristen Da Silva. Kirsten shares how a Twitter message changed her path as a playwright and how she went from being a self-produced playwright to an award-winning one.
