There are so many people who come to Hollywood with the hopes and dreams of making it big. I remember that day back in 1999. I was so excited but at the same time, I was scared because I had no idea what to do. I wish I knew then, what I know now. Someone who knows what they are talking about is working actress and Playhouse West teacher, Holly Gagnier. She lays down so much knowledge and wisdom in this podcast that I ask you to grab a pen and paper to take notes.  Plan on success!
