Podcasts about why i'll never make it

Whether in life or her profession, Megan lives by three simple mottos... Work Hard  •  Be Kind  •  Stay Classy  • And it is these ideals that led her to turn a punch to the gut into another creative outlet for finding work and fulfilling her passion. She opens up about the tough road she faced coming to NYC from Oregon and what propelled her into a world on the page and behind the camera. She's got a lot of wisdom and insight to share today...this is a jam-packed episode! Here are links to what she talked about today: Blog Post - Megan first joined the WINMI community in April of 2019 with her own Why I'll Never Make It story. Adventuress Films - Art is important and has the power to make us realize, on a deep level, that we’re not alone in the world. And we need that now more than ever.

Welcome back to part two of my conversation with Terri Dollar. In the previous episode we focused on STAR, her program working with special needs theater artists in Raleigh. Normally this would be another Final Five episode. However, after our initial conversation about her work with special needs actors I had a lot more questions about the other work that she does. So today in this bite-sized episode we chat about her talent agency and what she looks for in actors she represents as well as how she works to open up casting opportunities to all of her clients, including a couple of the STAR actors who are on her roster. We then discuss her work with Artsplosure, a huge arts festival she runs every year in Raleigh that is completely free and open to the public. All in all Terry is one busy lady. I know that when I grow up I want to be more like Terri Dollar, and I’m sure after listening to the rest of our conversation you’re probably going to feel the same way too. ---------- To learn more about Terri and Artsplosure check out kutalentagency.com and artsplosure.org.

Why I'll Never Make It (whyillnevermakeit.com) is a wonderful show hosted by my friend Patrick Oliver Jones. This is my conversation with him on his show! We cover a lot of what has got me to where I am today among other topics. Enjoy!

So you didn’t get the part. You did all the work, you chose the perfect outfit, the perfect song, perfect headshot. You picked the perfect    monologue and practiced it forwards, backwards, and sideways. You read the entire script, memorized the vocal score, and watched the film version. You go into the audition and absolutely blow the audition panel away with your effort and enthusiasm. The creative team looked absolutely thrilled and about ready to hand you the role… And then. Radio silence. Maybe you got down to final callbacks for a show, and the creative team decided to give that specific role to someone else. Another actor. How many of you are all too familiar with that dreaded phrase, “we decided to go a different direction…”??? Maybe Broadway World or Playbill just announced the cast for the show you were in auditions for… and your heart feels like it’s been torn into a billion pieces. Maybe you’re watching your friends, your peers, your classmates book their dream shows and jobs… and you’re wondering when is that going happen for me? Or even better… WILL it ever happen to me? Maybe you’re stuck in a “rut” and you just can’t seem to even get a callback? So what do you do now? We've all been there...  and it sucks. Today, I'm discussing the 7 steps that I take when dealing with "rejection." Looking to build your rep book and coach your audition material? Head to actoraesthetic.com/coaching.
