Dealing with Competition Air Date: April 28, 2022 Competition. It can feel awful. Working very hard to do the best work you can, say, with an audition scene, and suddenly this queasy feeling takes over. Your inner voice is saying, “I bet someone else will do this better”. Or “there are probably so many other talented people up for this, I am sure I won’t get it!” In that split second moment, you’ve become sad, defeated, or worse.

What’s Happening With Regional Theatres Air Date: April 14, 2022 Because of Covid, regional theatres have had to re-tool and reinvent their business model. Statistics tell us that a 30% drop in revenue (or more) is not uncommon. Some theatres have had to close their doors altogether while others resorted to “online” readings and performances to maintain their relationships to their subscribers. It is not all bad news, however. Non-profit theatres are making a comeback. Slowly but surely, new

Air Date: 3/31/2022 Stop Performing Start Conversing! After watching countless auditions on zoom and on self-tape, I've come to the realization that most actors are giving a performance. What I mean is, many times, I want to say to the actor, “it is not a performance, it’s a conversation. Just talk”. I guess the question you might have now is, just how do you do that?
