    Some of my favorite quotes from our conversation:

    • “You need to bring yourself to the role in order for it to feel authentic.”
    • “I’m there to guide my clients in the entirely of their career, not just the next audition.”
    • “You need a good headshot… that’s your calling card.”
    • “It’s not the prettiest picture that catches their attention… it’s something in the eyes, some kind of emotion that makes casting want to call them in.”
    • “Watch out for the scammers… someone approaching you in the mall is probably not the right person.”
    • “Please, please, please do not get involved in the Mama Drama.”
    • “It’s very important to network here. So much of this industry is about connections.”
    • “I think you should get involved in short films if you can, so you start to develop a reel.”
    • “It’s more important than ever to have a great self-tape setup. It doesn’t have to cost a lot.”
    • “Trust that your agent or manager are doing everything they can to get you seen.”
    • “Your rep should be passionate about you.”
    • “If you want to be a great theatre actor, go to college.”
    • You should do community theatre. It’s great. That’s the first step to getting over stage fright.”
    • “Patience is very important in this industry.”
    • “Win the room, not the role. If you win the room, they’ll keep calling you back over and over.”
