In today’s episode of “Camera, Lights, Panic,” we explore how you can incorporate film, TV, and performing into your life without moving to LA, quitting your job, or diving in before you're ready.

Here are four part-time ways to experience the magic of the camera and performing arts:

1. Join background acting agencies.

2. Use online audition directory websites.

3. Apply for novice/student films and short projects.

4. Create your own scripts.

For examples of agencies and audition directory websites, check out my latest Instagram post @lightscamerapanic_podcast.

In today’s episode, I discuss my personal experience with relationships and as someone with mental health issues. I also talk through ways that people in those relationships (someone who is dealing with mental health and someone in a relationship with someone who is dealing with mental health) and how to ensure the relationship stays healthy for both parties involved. Make sure to give me a follow on Instagram @lightcamerapanic_podcast to keep up on latest episodes.

In this introduction episode, I discuss:
