Gabrielle and I are BACK! We are discussing the current state of the acting industry, dealing with silence, managing expectations during uncertainty with the IATSE strike talks looming, and the evolving nature of actors and influencers. No matter how you feel about social media, we share our experiences on how it has helped us as SAG influencers, and why you may want to consider growing your own platform too. We get into the complexities of maintaining creativity, the impact of social media on our professional lives, and the significance of building a supportive community with those around you.

Kicking off the end of June with how i recovered from c0vid and some tips for you actors! But the meat here is my review of an advanced acting class I just wrapped with casting director Erica Bream, my biggest takeaways from the class including feedback from casting, virtual audition tips, using character breakdowns effectively, and how I like to evaluate classes!

For our Q&A section, we're talking moving to LA - priorities for kicking things off right and what I have learned!

I’ve done the impossible. I convinced my mom and dad to be on the podcast. I know, we thought it would never happen and yet here we are! I am so proud to bring on Rich and Debbie Valentine, and interview them on what it was like to raise an actor and support me in my dreams. You may not know this, but I didn’t come from a creative family. It’s really all on me, and my parents took a big leap of faith that I am forever grateful for. I share my experiences and challenges as an actor with my parents, and hear their side on how they feel about me moving from the Midwest to Los Angeles, constantly facing rejection, and coming out on top. Recorded at the family home, this is a must-listen for anyone needing a boost of familial support and insight into the actor’s life.

There is a HUGE learning curve and connection between fitness and acting careers. I am breaking it down with: the impact of expectations versus reality, the challenge of balancing multiple goals, and the concept of shiny object syndrome. And and a dash of the importance of mental and physical resilience in pursuing career goals.

Getting deep in my experience of signing with a new manager. Also reflecting on past rep relationships and the importance of building trust + relationships in the industry.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to finding representation and I’m gonna cover why I tell actors to stay engaged in the industry, be open to new opportunities, and focus on improving their materials.

For our Q&A I am going deep into yet another rep topic: sending and tracking emails!
