What happens when you book the job, get on set, and it’s not what you hoped? Let’s talk about navigating on-set challenges.

When you start feeling like you can’t do the job, take a breath and watch interviews with your favorite actors. You’ll quickly realize that you aren’t alone. Even the most successful actors at every stage of their careers have moments of serious self-doubt. ā˜ŗļøā¤ļø

Always remind yourself that you beat out thousands of people to get this role. You have everything you need to deliver an amazing performance, even if the environment isn’t the most supportive.

You are the CEO of your creative business. Keep fighting the good fight, and I will too! šŸ‘ā˜ŗļøā¤ļø

Auditioning for a co-star role in a procedural? Casting directors are often looking for actors who can simply come in, affect the other person, tell the story, and get the job done. You don’t need a huge beginning or ending to make an impact. You don’t need to get caught up in standing out as well.

Keep it simple, clean, and focus on advancing the story forward rather than making it about you. More often than not, those clean and grounded reads are exactly what books the job! ✨ šŸ’Ž

I hope this helps!

The actors who book comedic roles understand rhythm, like when to pause, when to react, and when to let the scene (conversation) breathe instead of pushing for laughs.

If you’re prepping comedy auditions, save this post for later and come back to it before your next self-tape. šŸŽ¬

Stillness on camera is powerful, but don't confuse it with stiffness! The secret to stillness actually comes from listening. When you're in an open state of receiving what you're hearing, your face and body naturally become less busy.

Remember something I've always said, which is stop trying to be interesting, and just be interested. When you genuinely care about the conversation, you instantly become captivating to watch. ✨ šŸ’Ž

A great tip that helps if you really struggle with stillness is to put a piece of tape on the floor when rehearsing at home. Treat it like your mark on set. Try this technique for your next self-tape if you really struggle with being still.

We all know self-tapes require a clean presentation. So then what do you do if you’re living in a conversation where there’s a lot of chaos, a lot of hysteria, and some physicality that requires that?

In class, we tackled this exact problem. The solution is to keep your movements localized. Instead of running around, stand in one place and aggressively do the actions needed in the conversation. This focused physical action feeds the conversation’s intense emotion and intent while keeping you perfectly on camera.

Physicality should feed your performance, not distract the casting director. ✨ šŸ’Ž

I hope this helps!

The ultimate Mother’s Day surprise! The lovely Carla Rosati stopped by the studio unannounced! I haven’t seen her since she started her healing journey, so having her here meant the world to me. Miracle was right there to capture the exact moment she walked in. Every single year, Carla gives me a Mother’s Day gift, and she made sure this year was no exception. I was so completely surprised and overwhelmed with joy.

I love you so much, Carla! ā¤ļø
