As a former guest I may seem biased, but I LOVE this podcast because Emma gave me free reign to spill all the tea on what I think works for actors and the lies they need to give up. She is a gift to smart actors everywhere.
Emma is such a wonderful host. I had the distinct pleasure of being a guest on an episode. Emma was the ultimate professional and I felt so at ease. As a new podcast host, I learned so much from her (and still do!). As a NYC based Actress, her podcast is so crucial. I love her episode with Casting Director Katie Griffin. Emma skillfully asked the best questions and I learned so much. If you’re an actor, definitely subscribe!

Thank you Emma for breaking down the buiz in a way that is accessible and relatable — great point that so many people are working towards their goal and yet their stories are left untold. It’s important to share what it’s “really” like. Excited to dive in! -Chelsea
Great pod if you’re looking to start out. Thank you!
I continue to learn from each and every episode. I am always excited for the next one to come out!! Thank you for introducing so many interesting people on your podcast, so rad!
What a gem of a podcast. Every episode has been fun, interesting and very informative. I learned a lot about breaking into the acting business and that has been very inspiring. The host is doing a great job to keep it honest but positive. Well done, five stars.
I just listened to the fourth episode and it was fantastic! Each episode has been full of information on how people break into the acting industry through varied and unique channels. This is so valuable! I’m already looking forward to the next episode.
Only a couple of episodes in and absolutely loving it. It’s been hard to stay motivated, especially during quarantine, but this has got me reinvigorated to pursue my passions!
I am LOVING this podcast! Can’t wait to hear the next episode!
Wow! This podcast is such a fantastic resource for new actors, but also just really entertaining if you’ve ever wondered how things work in HOLLYWOOD nowadays. Really starting off strong in these first three episodes, but that guy in the third one needs to get a better mic sometime soon. Love the theme song too! It’s so catchy and fun, I keep singing along. Looking forward to more new episodes!
I have been so excited for this podcast! I am already feeling so inspired and informed hearing firsthand from people not just established in the industry but WORKING HARD EVERYDAY to get their name out there and grow. I am definitely going to be tuning in regularly to allow myself to learn and feel more confident in my craft.
This podcast is really interesting. Those of us who are not in the acting world have no idea what challenges every day actors face. However, this podcast let’s us really see what it’s like to be in the world of acting. I can’t wait to listen again next week!
This is a incredible podcast! And it was very interesting to hear about the casting and unions! I can’t wait until the next episode comes out!
I’ve been looking forward to hearing this podcast. I heard of this podcast through a colleague who had the privilege of being one of the first interviewees. I got out of it exactly what I expected. The knowledge so far has been helpful to finding new avenues during this pandemic to stay productive. I look forward to hearing and learning more!
Thanks for starting this podcast!
Even not being in the acting world, what is being talked about is super relatable to any industry!
Such organic content is refreshing to hear and will leave you with some positive vibes! Love it!!!
