One Broke Actress Podcast OBA Bonus Podcast

Gabrielle is now my roommate and you can be sure to let Caleb and Corey know. No, but really, we have spent a LOT of time together recently and we wanted to sit down together and really get into how living with each other has given us brand new perspectives on the industry. We have each gained a better appreciation for truly how different actor’s lives can be. We are going into how we view each other’s individual journeys, our varying audition experiences, and the realization that smaller acting roles can still significantly contribute to an actor's career. That’s right: we are in a market that now values career expansion over leveling up, and if you don’t know what we’re talking about, then listen through all the way to the end and you’ll know exactly what we are probably going to be seeing in 2024 and beyond. Let’s navigate the evolving landscape of the industry together!

I flew to Atlanta for an in-person callback, as a local hire, so Gabrielle Byndloss and I are going to share the experience and the importance of having a support system and the financial considerations of pursuing opportunities in different markets...

In the final episode of the April series on the One Broke Actress podcast, we are focusing on looking back at all of our past goals and what we want to change going forward to get us closer to our ideal more. I’m going to introduce an equation to help you set up the next three months of your life, focusing on accomplishing and enjoying what's been done, the current vibe of 2024, and desires from an ideal morning exercise. This is going to involve selecting one area (health, finances, career, mindset, relationships, spirituality) to focus on for improvement. Choose something that actually works for you, that you will work towards, because we need to actually execute plans rather than merely discuss them. Put your plan into action!! And trust me, I know it’s hard. We get really honest about what I’ve been struggling with and want to change for the future: improving my mindset. I’m revealing vulnerabilities about trusting in my career and my struggles with self-doubt. But we are also going to take those feelings and outline specific goals to support my mindset, including limiting my daily tasks, spending time alone daily, and ensuring all other goals support my main focus. Hold me to it, and I’ll hold you to yours! What goal are you focusing on for the next three months of 2024?

I am taking you through a 3 week dubbing I am working for a Netflix series.

I’m bringing you the real info on the logistics of getting dubbing jobs, the payment rates, and the challenging yet rewarding nature of the work.

I’ve honestly gotten to a place where I am so grateful for this gig and to be able to act in such a challenging atmosphere.

I also get into how I network while working, how I deal with difficult scenes such as simulating sex or giving birth, and how I take care of my vocal health including standing up for my needs during recording sessions.

All recorded to and from recording so thank you for being so great about the off-audio bits!

Building off of our work in Week 1, we are going to do a Quarter 2 reset of our goals. What did you do in the first three months of the year that you wish you could do different in the next three months? I’ll be asking some questions to get your minds going, and help you analyze where you’ve directed your time and mental energy so far and how to change what’s not working from you. And, to top it all off, I’m sharing my own personal reflections on balancing my acting career with other responsibilities. Honestly? I’m not where I thought I would be. So let’s talk about it. In fact, let’s talk about it together! What do you want to change for your next three months in 2024?
