๐ŸŽฎ FEATURE STORY: Stop Playing Small. Start Playing Bigger.

Letโ€™s cut the fluff, if youโ€™re talented but still not booking lead rolesโ€ฆ

 
Itโ€™s probably not your skillset. 

 
Itโ€™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?


๐Ÿ’ฅ Straight. Up. Transformational. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

We talk about:


Why your biggest breakthroughs wonโ€™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

๐Ÿง  MINDSET SHIFT OF THE WEEK 

 
โ€œ
Youโ€™re not your thoughts. Youโ€™re the one who observes them.โ€

Danya asked me this on the podcast: 

 
> โ€œIf you say โ€˜helloโ€™ in your headโ€ฆ who said it? Who heard it?โ€ 

๐Ÿ’จ Boom.


Youโ€™re not your fear. 

 
Youโ€™re not your doubt. 

 
Youโ€™re the one with the power to act anyway.

๐Ÿ“ This week, catch one moment where you start to shrink back to the small you. 

 
And choose to expand and play bigger instead.

 

 โœจ THE LEAD ACTOR DIFFERENCE

Most actors wait.

 
Lead actors create.

They donโ€™t need perfect conditions. 

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

Thatโ€™s why I built the Monologue of the Month Club: to help you go from โ€œhoping, wishing, waitingโ€ to booked.

Every month:


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


โœ… You rehearse it with support, coaching and feedback


โœ… You perform it live and record it.


โœ… You get coaching, feedback & growth

๐Ÿ’ฌ FINAL THOUGHT

You donโ€™t need to do more. 

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

This weekโ€™s podcast will help you do exactly that.

Letโ€™s stop auditioning like background  and dayplayersโ€ฆ 

 
And start building your career as a Lead Actor.

See you Wednesday at the Jam.
