#215- If Broadway Auditions Scare You, This Is What You Need to Hear

On this week's episode, Salisha pulls back the curtain on what Broadway auditions are really like. From crowded open calls filled with anxiety and anticipation to calm, appointment-only auditions with casting teams who already know your work, Salisha shares firsthand experiences from both sides of the audition process.Here, she walks listeners through the differences between open calls and agent appointments, what it feels like to step into rooms with completely different energies, and how learning to take up space changed the way she showed up as an artist. She also reflects on the moment she stopped playing it safe in auditions and chose to take a risk that paid off.Salisha explores• The reality of Broadway open calls versus appointments• How energy in a room can affect your performance• Why taking up space matters more than rushing• What happens when you stop choosing the safe option• How being yourself can be the most powerful audition choiceThis episode offers an honest look at the audition process and a reminder that casting rooms are not about being perfect. They are about being present, prepared, and unapologetically yourself.CHAPTERS01:04 Gratitude and life update02:18 What Broadway auditions are really like04:40 Open calls versus agent appointments07:28 Taking risks instead of playing it safe10:53 The real lesson behind callbacks and rejectionYou can send fan mail here!@salishathomas @thesalishashow, www.thesalishashow.comMany thanks to Gotham Network in NYC, TyNia Brandon for writing and laying vocals down for the updated theme song and Big Red Studios for the intro video wherever you watch the latest season of The Salisha Show!
