One Broke Actress

Audrey Moore from Audrey Helps Actors is BACK! She was last with us on One Broke Actress for the Premiere of Season 5. Many of you may know her from her own podcast, where she seeks to give information, inspiration, and camaraderie to actors everywhere of all levels. She can also be seen staring in several Emmy nominated shows such as Dopesick, Better Call Saul, Godless, and Feud. She loves nap time, making her own clothes, and eating at Chilis. As proud as she is of her life's work, she owes most of it to her husband who is a patient man. In this episode, Audrey and I get real about the ups and downs of this industry, the intense amount of work required from us as actors, and how she navigated her career while processing a lot of grief at home.

Straight from IG Live (forgive the audio quality) I am joined by CD Amanda Doyle. Her love of actors and the creative process got her in on the ground floor of Castability, which we really get into in this episode. Here's the deal..

As actors, we are never told how we did in an audition, why we didn't get a part, or how close we got. It sometimes feels impossible to grow.

Castability was created to empower actors with real data. It works as an audition simulator. Actors submit self-tapes, and receive private rankings from vetted Casting Directors, with their top-ranking work showcased to the industry on our Castability List...hi new workshop game?!

OBA is a proud partner of Castability. Check if out here!

If you love the honesty OBA is built around, you're gonna love the way Sam Stiglitz approaches the world. This high-level CD-turned acting coach is a myth buster on the internet and you know we love to see it! 

I asked Sam to join me for an IG Live last month and it was such good content I had to make it into a podcast! We dive into:

What are the things she learned about the business as a CD that helped her work better with actors?

What are the biggest myths being spread right now in the industry

How she feels about submission reports and agent communication

Standing out in self-tapes

Looking for casting opportunities in smaller markets

And how she is navigating the business of being an online presence with her (totally full!) line-up of working actors

Check out Sam's website here and make sure you follow her on IG and Tiktok too!
