In this episode, I talk about something that’s been really frustrating in my acting journey—getting completely different advice from everyone.
Casting directors, acting teachers, working actors, agents… all telling you different things about what you “should” be doing.
Take classes. Don’t take classes.
Get an agent now. Wait until you’re ready.
Focus on training. Just start auditioning.
At some point, it stops being helpful and just becomes confusing.
I share a personal experience of when I was deciding whether or not to join a conservatory, and how the advice I got actually made the decision harder—not easier.
This episode is about what happens when you start relying too much on other people’s opinions, how that can disconnect you from your own instincts, and why learning to trust yourself is one of the hardest—but most important—parts of this industry.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “wrong” because your path looks different from someone else’s, you’re not alone.
