Audition attitudes: addendum 18.12.2024 9:54 ↓

This is an addendum to the "Worst Thing Ever?" episode. And it probably won't be the last. I have a lot of feelings about audition attitudes.

Audition Story 11.12.2024 10:43 ↓

Auditioning -- always an adventure.

Declining Invitations 04.12.2024 11:42 ↓

This episode comes from a recent aha! moment. Love those. How I realized that declining an invitation with an honest answer can be an act of vulnerability. And an act of freedom.

Maybe the connection between these two art forms is obvious but my own understanding and experience of it has developed slowly. Over time. It's a magical connection.

Control 16.10.2024 10:57 ↓

What's in my control and what's not? How an actor's reslience is fed by knowing the difference. 

My Marvel Audition 09.10.2024 8:14 ↓

Not a typo. I didn't mean my marvelous audtion. Or my marvel of an audition. Nope. It was an audition for a Marvel project. Here's what it meant to me. 

A MESSAGE TO MY YOUNGER SELF? 02.10.2024 8:32 ↓

My message to my younger self? I don't have one. First, she wouldn't listen. Second, I don't want to change her. Or me. For better AND worse.

Worst Thing Ever? 25.09.2024 9:19 ↓

Auditioning. Often described as the worst thing ever. But it's one of the core elements of an actor's career, so how is describing it that way that helpful? My thoughts on reframing this.

On Regrets 18.09.2024 6:57 ↓

Talking about regrets. And letting them go.

Unfettered 11.09.2024 5:38 ↓

Unfettered: not controlled or restricted; free, unrestrained. Merriam-Webster  I don't want to wait until I'm 85 to feel free. I need to channel it now!
