    NADINE CROCKER: "Continue On" Suicide Prevention and Art Therapy

    Nadine Crocker started her career with a passion for acting, but later found her calling in writing and directing. Drawing from her own lived experience, her award-winning feature film "Continue" is currently in the film festival circuit and shines a light on the topics of suicide prevention and mental health. To elevate the voices of others, Nadine formed Continue On, a non-profit focused on providing financial support for fellow storytellers and creating a subsidy for youth in need of mental health services. In today's episode, Nadine discusses the unique challenges of indie filmmaking, creating a family dynamic on set, and how when it comes to choosing her actors, it's all in the eyes. Ultimately, Nadine explains that directing is a beautiful, intricate dance between collaboration, problem-solving, and knowing when to step out of the actor's way.
    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Nadine Crocker right here.

    BILLY BURKE: Working Off Instinct

    BILLY BURKE: Working Off Instinct

    For years, actor Billy Burke showed up on our screens playing either the cop or the criminal role, he says. Over the course of his decades-long career, however, his characters and list of credits have expanded to include "Mafia!", "Dill Scallion", "Gilmore Girls", "Twilight", "Zoo", "Maid", and "Fire Country", just to name a few. In today's episode, Billy shares how having a bold confidence in himself led him to a sense of fearlessness in his career. He discusses the blessing of self-tapes, not taking the business too seriously, and what he thinks is good direction to give actors on set. When it comes to the craft, Billy lets his instincts guide him and his work speaks for itself.
    These are the unforgettable stories that landed Billy Burke right here.

Writing non-stop notes

Such an important podcast. I find gems of knowledge in every episode. Just listened to Brittany S. Hall’s episode and OMG I wrote so many notes my hand started cramping up.

The BEST acting podcast - should be part of acting school curriculum

This podcast has allowed me to look forward to house chores (and anything else you can do while listening to a podcast)… while every actor’s journey is different, Alyshia has created an online community with transparency that helps us all recognise a rewarding journey is also always challenging. That being said, each episode is incredibly inspiring - it really should be taught /included in any acting school’s curriculum for all students to listen to. Thank you for making this podcast Alyshia !

A NeverEnding Masterclass in Reslience

I stumbled across this podcast while listening to the Just Shoot It podcast. I am SO glad I did. Alyshia asks all the right questions that affirms your journey as an actor. I get so motivated and inspired by listening to the stories of each of her guests. ESPECIALLY that Laurence Fishbourne episode, which can I say, was so incredibly refreshing and positive. To hear the full story of such an iconic black actor’s career was incredible to me especially as a woman of color. THANK you Alyshia for the work you have put into creating this podcast. You are a legend!
