About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of active listening in acting and auditioning, inspired by insights from Dylan Walsh.

Six words from Dylan Walsh stopped us cold this week — "Where I learned to listen is off camera." So what does that mean when it's just you, a few lights, and a reader on the phone? We break down why we spend four times as much time on the other person's lines, why slowing down in the world of Taylor Sheridan is your biggest power move, and how the muscle you build this week is the exact one you'll need for week four of Self Tape May.
