Hey hey, actors!

It's been a minute!

Here's a quick check in episode as the year winds down & COVID is throwing off holiday plans.

This week, I share a story about how sometimes, when it seems like there's NO hope whatsoever - there's a few things we can keep in our back pocket to help.

Miss doing episodes for you all.

Talk soon!

-Tony

Stop me if you've said the following:

• "I wish I weren't so bad at auditioning."
• "I wish I weren't so bad at memorizing."
• "I wish I didn't compare so much..."

Or maybe you've said something along the lines of "I wish I weren't so emotionally attached to the outcome of this...:

We all have strengths and weaknesses. And all of us wish we had strengths that are our current weaknesses.

This week, I'm going to share some vulnerable weaknesses of my own - that involve ugly crying, hiding in my bathroom, and even something about snacking - then share with you why it's good that you're not different than you currently are.

Also - this is our last episode for season two!

We'll be taking a short break, then be back for season three. Stay tuned!
