In this episode, we explore two guests this week. Two completely different paths. One lesson that ran through both conversations — do you actually trust yourself? Inspired by Christina Chang's powerful question "do I trust me?" and Julee Cerda's story of running late to her first major TV audition and booking it anyway, this episode digs into the tension between following the breakdown and honoring your own instincts — and why your self tape is the ONE place where your interpretation gets to lead. Plus, why week three of Self Tape May is the perfect space to come test your instincts, gain...

In this episode, we're diving into the art of compression — how to walk into any audition, hit record on any self tape, and tell a complete, committed story in the small window you're given. We're also pulling back the curtain on week one of Self Tape May: Action & Horror.
