    casting director workshops: my exact step-by-step process for doing them well

    Casting director workshops used be….different. Then 2017 happened. Now they are regulated, and absolutely not something you should be casually throwing money at. So while I don’t do them often these days, I want to tell you exactly how I would approach a workshop today if I were signing up next month with a strategy. We’re talking: - What shifted after the pay to play investigation and why workshops look so different now - Why I rarely do them and when they actually make sense - How to be picky instead of burning cash trying to “network” - Online workshops, Zoom audition skills, and smaller markets having access - Where I think you get the best value including ACE Studios, Actors Connection, and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation - How to act in the room, what to ask, and what not to do - The follow up strategy I use with reps and casting For our Q&A: I answer Willow’s question about defining your 2026 working actor systems and flows, building off episode 112. submit your questions here: https://shorturl.at/dHVZp La Times Article: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-06-28/hollywood-success-avoid-predators-dont-get-scammed-success

    why acting feels harder now: the four stages of competence explained

    ou know that feeling when your acting abilities seem to vary? like when you finally nail a scene but it took every ounce of brain power you had. or why you may think you had this whole thing on lock when you just stared out but now it’s all too much info in your brain. i found out there's actually a framework for that. the four stages of competence explain why some days you feel like a genius and other days you're wondering if you've ever acted before in your life…hello friends, welcome home. we’re talking: - the four stages of competence (and why actors need to know them) - unconscious incompetence: when you don't know what you don't know - conscious incompetence: the uncomfortable awareness that something's off - conscious competence: doing it right, but it takes effort and focus - unconscious competence: when the work becomes instinct - why "natural talent" might just be skipping a stage - how to recognize which stage you're in right now - what to do when you're aware you're bad at something (and why that's progress) **submit your questions here: https://shorturl.at/dHVZp**

    why 'more shows' doesn't equal 'more money' for us actors

    there’s a lot of noise right now about things “picking back up.” more auditions. more shows. more chatter. and yet a lot of actors are looking at their bank accounts like… cool cool cool, where is the money...am i not doing this right? lets talk about what that “400 scripted shows” number actually means. inside this episode: why “more shows” doesn’t equal more jobs you can actually audition for what’s really counted in current scripted show numbers how 6–8 episode seasons impact pay, relationships, and residuals current sag co-star and guest star rate realities why take-home pay is way less than people think how competition has expanded with self-tapes and multi-market submissions why diversified income is not failure, it’s survival a reminder that you are not the problem

    the invisible patterns shaping your acting career + are new headshots worthy of an email blast?

    this episode is about: - why new headshots alone usually are not a reason to email casting or reps - what updates are actually worth sending - the difference between outcomes and systems - the seven working actor systems and how they overlap - choosing one system to focus on for the year - how small bookings still matter - staying grounded instead of waiting for the next thing to save you today’s q’s: are new headshots are enough reason to email casting or agents, what updates actually matter? when outreach is helpful versus just busywork that makes us feel productive? and then getting into our main topic: building a working actor system instead of chasing outcomes….hello 2026. -the seven core systems that actually support a long acting career and why focusing on just one of them for a full year can change everything. i also share what it was like booking and shooting my first on camera role since 2021, including the very unglamorous reality of waiting six months between audition and shoot and then immediately having to return to normal life. submit your questions here: https://shorturl.at/dHVZp
