In this Wednesday Wisdom, Alyshia Ochse explores how to manage fear, stay present, and activate your inner monologue in ensemble work. Inspired by Roman Zaragoza (Ghosts), this episode breaks down why curiosity, actionable thoughts, and emotional specificity make your performance magnetic — even in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.

Learn how to:

• Navigate fear of "not being enough" on set
• Keep your inner monologue active to stay truthful and engaged
• Balance active listening with a strong, specific point of view
• Let your curiosity and presence influence the audience and casting

Whether you're part of a large ensemble or navigating self-tapes, this episode shows why staying alive in the moment is your most powerful tool.
