I did something that scared me last month + I can’t stop thinking about it.
I did a free LIVE virtual training (perhaps you were there?), and I had to learn an entirely new software system to pull it off.
And yes, there was a lot of self-doubt + some serious ugly cry moments trying to quickly learn the new technology. Have you had those moments too lately? Maybe with all of the self-taping?
But what I also learned was that I didn’t have to be perfect, I just had to be present. And guess what? It absolutely wasn’t perfect, but I know that’s also what made my live training so amazing.
To connect with each other in REAL TIME – LIVE was electric, and I’m still buzzing from it.
To realize I can show up for this amazing community of actors from all over the world, and be vulnerable and authentic is honestly what makes my heart sing.
(And let’s not forget, vulnerability + authenticity is also what makes you a compelling actor).
I’ve also been hearing from actors everywhere that you’ve been feeling off your game lately, questioning your self-tape submissions and wondering how you’ll deliver your best work on the job in our “new normal…(or all of the above),
I hear you + I decided to do something about it.
I just put together a BRAND-NEW FREE MASTERCLASS and am going to teach it to you LIVE in August.
I’m going to walk you through a simple + proven process to uplevel your self-tapes, book more jobs + shine under pressure.

On my last audition, I did a selftape (without a reader – because of COVID 19 – the director allowed me to change the dialogue into a monologue) and then I did the Zoom Room for the ‘personal one-on-one’. Even though I was successful in booking it, I absolutely loathe this process. I can see in future where it might be OK for bit roles who say nothing, but for any roles with dialogue … until the technology improves so that video and audio is in sync, and there is no 2 second delay in sound, this is a very frustrating element to deal with on top of anything else. Besides that, I think for casting purposes, when you can only see the head of a person and nothing else, this way of handling auditions is hugely flawed, in my estimation.
I know we ALWAYS do the best we can, in any circumstance. But I do have a fear that all this technology is ultimately going to take over the human element of creativeness and interaction.
I’m a fairly balanced, positive, good-natured person and, even during these times, have really tried to remain so. However, I really have developed concern over where our film industry is heading, and it’s upsetting …

It is hugely concerning to me, that this Online Audition Room, no matter what platform it is on, is possibly meant to become permanent.
