WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Don't Cut On Yourself

from That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse Hosted by Alyshia Ochse

Your best take might be the one you think you ruined. In this episode, a coaching session with a brilliant actress reveals one of the most common and costly habits actors carry into the room, the self-tape, and onto Zoom — cutting on themselves the moment something real and unexpected starts to happen. We break down why discovery feels like failure, why "nailing it" is often a trap, and why your feelings after a take simply cannot be trusted. Plus: the practical tools that pull you off autopilot and put your instrument back in the driver's seat — working with a coach who disrupts you, finding a reader who throws you, setting an intention before the take, and giving yourself a PSA after. Discovery is the job. Not the plan. Subscribe now for insightful discussions, empowering interviews, and practical advice to enhance your career longevity and satisfaction.
