    Break Into Streaming

    Remember the days when “making it” meant getting your big break on a network sitcom, or landing three lines in a soap opera and hoping your character didn’t die in a freak elevator accident? Ah, the good old days... Well, guess what? Those days have streamed on by. Today, the entertainment industry looks completely different. Why? Because of streaming services—Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max... I mean, honestly, if you don’t have at least four of these, are you even procrastinating properly?

  • Voice Overs vs On Camera

    Voice Overs vs On Camera
    2025/05/29
    If you've been thinking about Voice Over work in addition to being an actor, this episode is for you! Voice acting today has become a massive industry. We’re talking audiobooks, podcasts, e-learning modules, video games, meditation apps, smart assistants, and even—wait for it—AI-generated clones of real voices. (Yeah, it’s a little creepy. But hey, if Siri ever sounds like Morgan Freeman, I won’t complain.) So let’s get into it. If you’re used to on-camera work, the jump to voice acting isn’t just a change in medium—it’s a full-on mindset shift. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The In-Between Times

    The In-Between Times
    2025/05/08
    So, here’s the truth. Every actor, no matter how successful, goes through what I like to call the “in-between.” It’s that awkward stretch of time when you’re not on set, not auditioning, and frankly, not sure when or if the next opportunity will come. And that’s hard. Especially when you’re watching your peers book jobs, or you're scrolling through casting sites that just don’t seem to offer anything for you. And worse, maybe your bank account is saying “no” to classes, workshops, or even just a night out. So now you’re not acting, not training, and definitely not feeling creatively fulfilled. Sound familiar? If so, I want you to know—you’re not alone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
