#270 Back Into It Air Date: 8/3/2023 So, everything we undertake has its own set of challenges. We know this. Everything worth doing contains the “what if’s”. “What if It doesn’t happen?”, “What if I can’t find the time?”, What if it doesn’t work out?”. Actors are well versed in taking on alternative points of view when it comes to their acting or acting career. It is built into the DNA of being an actor. It can really affect our sensibilities for better or worse. Right now, we are paralyzed with the actors and writers strike. It prevents us from even thinking about the, “what if’s”. Well, to that I can only say, “Lets get back into it!” Let’s find ways to keep ourselves ready so when external issues finally resolve (and they will) we will be ready. Back into it is today’s subject on this episode of Casting Actors Cast!

#268-Act As If Air Date: 6/22/2023

Repeat after me, “I have NO Problems…I have situations”. When we can reframe any issue that we face, we are shifting our negative perceptions into something less caustic. Problems now become just situations. When it comes to our acting talent or acting career, we might need to consider re- framing how we feel so we can embrace our progress and not beat ourselves up. I have a three-word phrase that helps me see another less harmful view of myself. It’s so powerful, in fact, that this simple phrase can alleviate a whole host of “situations”! Tune into this episode of Casting Actors Cast and find out how you can turn acting and career problems into manageable situations.

Give Time, Time Air Date: 6/8/2023 Have you ever noticed how fast the time goes when you are focused on something important? Or how slow it feels when you are bored out of your mind? Isn’t that weird? We know that time is a construct and is constant but why does it shift when we’re in a different headspace? The same can be said about our acting careers. When things are popping up, we seem to manage quite well. When things are slow, not going our way, we seem to focus on how slow our progress is. Giving time, time is one way we can be career minded and not focused on how slow it sems to be moving. Giving time, time on this episode of Casting Actors Cast.
