You’ve landed a big U.S. audition. It's your dream role. 

The problem is... the moment you hit record, your confidence disappears. 

Why does your accent drop out in performance?

And why does it feel like every time you get a U.S. audition your confidence and belief that you could actually book the role drops?

In this episode, I’m sharing what’s really getting in the way of booking those big U.S. roles  and how to fix it.

Listen as I talk about:

  • Why booking small roles doesn’t prepare you for high-stakes U.S. auditions
  • The hidden mindset blocks sabotaging your performance
  • The real reason one-off dialect coaching sessions often don’t help you right before the self tape audition
  • The two powerful shifts you must make if you want to book big U.S. roles
