There are so many ways to feel out of control as an actor, because ultimately you can only do so much. In this episode, I list different things you CAN control and should constantly be working on so that you don't feel lost or confused on why things aren't happening.

I would love to hear from you guys! Follow me on IG @dbauditioncoaching. DM me there and I will get back to you!

10/02/19 • 35 min

The more time you sit on the idea of wanting to start instead of taking action, the harder it gets! Think of this episode as your blueprint for this business. It can get so frustrating scrolling through tons of google articles just looking for some SOLID advice on this industry and how to get started. That's what this podcast is all about; I want you to have somewhere to go and learn from someone you trust who KNOWS this business.
