🎮 FEATURE STORY: Stop Playing Small. Start Playing Bigger.

Let’s cut the fluff, if you’re talented but still not booking lead roles…

 
It’s probably not your skillset. 

 
It’s your energy.

This week on Inside the Audition ep193, I sat down with @danyadouglashunt a former Olympic therapist turned mindset mentor to elite entrepreneurs and creators.

And what she dropped?


💥 Straight. Up. Transformational. 💥

We talk about:


Why your biggest breakthroughs won’t come from another acting class 

 
How to finally own your spotlight 

 
Why fear of visibility is silently killing your auditions 

 
And a dead-simple mindset tool that reframes rejection on the spot

🧠 MINDSET SHIFT OF THE WEEK 

 
“
You’re not your thoughts. You’re the one who observes them.”

Danya asked me this on the podcast: 

 
> “If you say ‘hello’ in your head… who said it? Who heard it?” 

💨 Boom.


You’re not your fear. 

 
You’re not your doubt. 

 
You’re the one with the power to act anyway.

📍 This week, catch one moment where you start to shrink back to the small you. 

 
And choose to expand and play bigger instead.

 

 ✨ THE LEAD ACTOR DIFFERENCE

Most actors wait.

 
Lead actors create.

They don’t need perfect conditions. 

 
They need a clear plan to grow from unseen to unforgettable and land lead roles.

That’s why I built the Monologue of the Month Club: to help you go from “hoping, wishing, waiting” to booked.

Every month:


✅ You choose a new script (curated & themed) from our Monologue Vault


✅ You rehearse it with support, coaching and feedback


✅ You perform it live and record it.


✅ You get coaching, feedback & growth

💬 FINAL THOUGHT

You don’t need to do more. 

 
You need to think different, train different, and show up different.

This week’s podcast will help you do exactly that.

Let’s stop auditioning like background  and dayplayers… 

 
And start building your career as a Lead Actor.

See you Wednesday at the Jam.
