Hey there, hero!It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous.Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck.Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept.You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging.

2024/04/16

Hey there, hero!The number one answer to the question I ask when I'm trying to gauge a student's concerns about learning, "What are you most worried about?" is so interesting.And we don't really think about that one moment, that one concern, that everyone in the world has also experienced. It's a universal.And if you give this momentous occasion a thought or two, it can really change your perspective on being a beginner.Or a "never tried it.".Or, at some

2024/03/26

Hey there, hero!Knowing your brand is essential, but once we determine the boundaries of our brand we might mistakenly misuse that knowledge.In this episode, I'm going to give you two examples around opportunities and your brand.Your brand can be your first filter, but then...I have a secret weapon for you.

Hey there, hero!The consideration you make for a single role in an on-camera or stage opportunity and the many many characters you might play in an audiobook......means your personal brand is likely going to be less of a discriminator.You're not auditioning for that one character.You're auditioning for the entire cast.Once you let that marinate...does that help?

Hey there, hero!My grandfather was a funny, smart cookie. He wasn't a performer, rather my grandfather was a plumber.I'm not really shocked anymore at how many lessons I learned from him, even though he was a tradesman, about how to execute my occupation and run my business.One of the basic rules he lived by was to be damn sure he had a measure of a job before he executed the plumbing needed.He measured, then measured again, just to be sure.

Hey there, hero!We may not have control over what happens to us in life.Sometimes, it's our doing.Sometimes, life happens with no input from us.And although we might not be the cause of some event in our life, there is one thing that we can control: how we react to it.And I'm telling you, your choices on how to react are far more numerous than you think.And being mindful, imaginative and deliberate about my reaction is something I’ve been concentrating on with great results.I want to share

Hey there, hero!The rest of that quote (from Helen Keller) is really important to know.Life in general, and our chosen path in life (being an artist) specifically, has some twists and turns in store for us.Some unexpected stops, some uphill climbs and some out of control skids.Some bends in the road.Unless...you are watching, vigilant and prepared.I wonder how you handle the unpredictable.

Hey there, hero!Taking care of ourselves is paramount - as actors, voice talent, writers and other creatives, we don't have an office infirmary and an in-person support community when we are in need of self-care.And one area where your personal mental and physical health can be threatened is when you choose to disagree with someone's point of view...especially in online communication.The anonymity of social media emboldens some to take very big liberties with the basics of good manners -

When I'm designing a performance, I work toward something that I can rely on, in a character, in business, in life, and then, if I can, lathering, rinsing and repeating.And I feel like I'm in the minority - I see most other artists achieving great performances, and then instead of repeating those performances, immediately trying to change it up.Make it different.Find a new way.Make a new choice.And I think that's fun, but that there

2024/01/02

Hey there, hero!When trying to understand a problem or challenge, while getting to the root of the problem and then on to the solution, we often ask "Why is this happening?"Great question. It's worth getting an answer, and one way to do that is to use a process that some call "about five WHYs" - asking "why?" over and over.Begin with the general question and describe what's happening, and then ask the question again and again, five or so times, looking for
