In this episode, we kick things off with a big rant about Giana’s travels, moving, Los Angeles, Bradshaw’s tattoos, ghosts, and real estate. Then, we dive into Giana’s experience of settling into San Francisco and returning to the audition process.

We break down the many different styles of auditions and offer advice for teachers navigating them. Giana shares her personal journey of re-entering auditions after some time away. After 11 years of teaching, being the “new girl” again brings up a mix of emotions and uncertainty. We discuss getting on sublists, the feeling of competition, and the importance of following up.

Despite the challenges, Giana is excited about this transition. This move has felt much smoother and more effortless than past ones—likely thanks to years of experience, the podcast’s growth, and her expanding network. She shares a story about connecting with another teacher also going through auditions, encouraging them to keep at it. She also recalls Jason’s funny comment about sharing who she trained with and the humbling experience of starting over.

We wrap up with some hilarious stories—like the time Giana got Bradshaw a job he immediately quit and the saga of two rogue students armed with elastic bands and doing clam shells.
