About this episode

This episode explores the importance of trusting oneself in the audition process through the stories of two guests.

In this episode, we explore two guests this week. Two completely different paths. One lesson that ran through both conversations — do you actually trust yourself? Inspired by Christina Chang's powerful question "do I trust me?" and Julee Cerda's story of running late to her first major TV audition and booking it anyway, this episode digs into the tension between following the breakdown and honoring your own instincts — and why your self tape is the ONE place where your interpretation gets to lead. Plus, why week three of Self Tape May is the perfect space to come test your instincts, gain new tools, and build the kind of self-trust that makes you dangerous in any audition room.
