150. Dealing with Success, the Rising Cost of Acting, and Grief with Audrey Moore

Audrey Moore from Audrey Helps Actors is BACK! She was last with us on One Broke Actress for the Premiere of Season 5. Many of you may know her from her own podcast, where she seeks to give information, inspiration, and camaraderie to actors everywhere of all levels. She can also be seen staring in several Emmy nominated shows such as Dopesick, Better Call Saul, Godless, and Feud. She loves nap time, making her own clothes, and eating at Chilis. As proud as she is of her life's work, she owes most of it to her husband who is a patient man. In this episode, Audrey and I get real about the ups and downs of this industry, the intense amount of work required from us as actors, and how she navigated her career while processing a lot of grief at home. 02:12 — How Audrey's Pandemic Went 03:48 — Working While Grieving 06:28 — Booking Dopesick 08:50 — Audrey's Process for Handling Emotionally Demanding Roles 13:05 — The Pressures of Growing Name Recognition 18:27 — Auditions & Self Tapes 23:38 — Time, Energy, and Money for Bigger Audition Opportunities 30:20 — Audrey's 2022 Day-to-Day Schedule 32:41 — AD: Cast Away Cancer with Castability @castability.actor 34:52 — Why Actors Quit the Industry & What Kept Audrey Going 40:52 — Taking on Negotiating Power as an Actor 44:04 — Good Reps & Finding Community 51:19 — Loving the Hard Work 55:20 — Audrey Helps Actors 58:23 — Audrey When It's Slow 1:01:10 — Where to Find Audrey Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Audrey's personal IG, @audreyscoresmoore Follow Audrey Helps Actors on IG AudreyHelpsActors Website Abundance Bound with Miata (Listen to her ep with Audrey here) SAG-AFTRA Official Podcast Cast Away Cancer with Castability Hosted by Jessica Sherman, CSA and Friends -------- Want more?
