The Writer Comes First | Season 2 Episode 9
In this episode, I’m sharing some real talk about what it truly takes to succeed in acting and auditioning. Success isn’t about how many classes you’ve taken or who you’ve trained with — it’s about showing up with authenticity and a clear understanding of your role. I’ll walk you through practical techniques to help you improve your performance, connect more deeply with your characters, and increase your chances of booking roles. My goal is to remind you that your journey is unique, and confidence, preparation, and self-awareness are your biggest assets in this industry.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your career to the next level, this episode is packed with advice to help you unlock your potential and stay focused on what matters most.
Key Points:
1. Your ability to interpret and portray a character is what matters most, not who you’ve trained with.
2. Your background and credentials don’t determine your success — your effort and mindset do.
3. Improving your reading comprehension and understanding the script is essential to your performance.
4. Focus on understanding and aligning with the writer’s intent, so your performance serves the story they want to tell.
5. Confidence comes from embracing what makes you unique and focusing on your strengths rather than comparing yourself to others.
Remember, you are the missing piece to the puzzle. Your authenticity, preparation, and deep understanding of the story will set you apart. Keep pushing forward, stay committed, and never forget the power of your own voice.
