Episode 407: Feel the Fear and Audition Anyway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Feel the Fear and Audition Anyway Working actors are not fearless actors. They have just learned how to move when they are afraid. This morning I woke up with what I can only describe as generalized anxiety. And I knew I could take a shower and stew in my own anxiety juices for a while, or I could just do something. So I attacked the email inbox. About 20 minutes later I was like, woo, I am ready, I am going. The anxiety was gone and I was zip-zopping through my day. That is the whole thing. It
Episode 406: Greed Is Making You a Terrible Actor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody in this industry ever says this out loud, so I am going to. Greed is making you a terrible actor. Not greed in the cartoon villain sense. I am not talking about people twirling their mustaches trying to steal jobs.

Read excerpt
A student of mine forwarded me an email she got from a voiceover guru. One of those here is the truth nobody tells you posts. And after reading it, she asked me, very sincerely, if she was a terrible voice actor. I cannot tell you the range of emotions I felt. From heartbreak to anger. Because she is not. She has been working at this for five years. She is talented. She has done a lot of things right. And one post made her question all of it. That is the damage incomplete information does. And t
Episode 403: Energy Vampires! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Energy Vampires in the Acting Industry Not everyone around you wants you to be emotionally healthy. That is not paranoia. That is a pattern worth recognizing. Because some people feed off insecurity, confusion, desperation, and approval seeking. And as artists, as actors especially, we are emotionally open. We are sensitive. That sensitivity is gorgeous for art. But it is dangerous without discernment. What to Start Noticing How do you feel around the people in your life? Around the people in th
