Ever wonder what really makes an audition successful—besides booking the role? I’m back on the mic after a little hiatus, and today I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a personal experiment I ran during a recent in-person callback at CP Casting.

Instead of letting nerves take over, I walked in with a clear intention: to embody that “it factor” energy—neutral, grounded, and fully present. I turned the waiting room into a little mindset lab, noticing the difference between holding space versus shrinking under pressure. And when the teleprompter glitched (first way too fast, then painfully slow), I stayed rooted in the moment. The feedback? They loved my grounded choices and direction-following—major win, even if I didn’t walk away with the role.

That experience ended up shaping my entire Q1 review as an actor. From callbacks to finally liking how I look on camera (!!!), to creating this podcast—there’s a lot to celebrate. I’m also being super real: I haven’t booked yet this year, and that’s okay. I’m not chasing just any role—I’m creating space for the right ones.

Looking ahead to Q2, I’m focusing on fresh headshots, reel upgrades, coaching, and showing up like the version of me who’s already booked and busy.

Oh—and I just got back some gorgeous model digitals from a workshop I did, and I’m obsessed.
