Customer Reviews
A must listen
Sam brings the good, bad, and the ugly of the acting industry in real talk. She’s approachable, honest and easy to listen to whilst going about your day. I turn to her podcast especially when I want to feel a sense of community or need a temperature check on the biz so I don’t feel as alone or insane. I love her positive mindset and think she is an excellent resource!
Authentic
So rare to find such an authentic, tell it like it is voice in Hollywood WITH humor and kindness. New actors will find so many helpful tips and those who have been around the block too.
I’m a working actor because of Sam Valentine
Every little piece of advice she has ever given has allowed me to continue my careeer and be a working actor in LA.
