  • Gave me so much confidence

    This is the best podcast on acting that I've been able to find. It has given me so much more confidence. As an actor, I've had a bit of a rough time, because I'm on the autism spectrum.

  • Great podcast series!

    I am really enjoying these podcasts. All of the actors have been so open and generous with their experiences, passing along what they learned, and advice which applies not only to actors just starting out but anyone in the business that hasn't gotten that big break they are looking for. Thanks to these actors for sharing their personal stories in a very real and entertaining way!

  • Great acting podcast

    I am really enjoying the stories of what other actors have done and what they've learned along the way. There's no need for us to make the same mistakes as others, and this really helps! Not only informative and entertaining but inspiring. It's a good reminder that everyone began not knowing what they were doing.
