In this episode, we explore two guests this week. Two completely different paths. One lesson that ran through both conversations — do you actually trust yourself? Inspired by Christina Chang's powerful question "do I trust me?" and Julee Cerda's story of running late to her first major TV audition and booking it anyway, this episode digs into the tension between following the breakdown and honoring your own instincts — and why your self tape is the ONE place where your interpretation gets to lead. Plus, why week three of Self Tape May is the perfect space to come test your instincts, gain new tools, and build the kind of self-trust that makes you dangerous in any audition room.

Using a real horror audition scene — drunk on a balcony, running through a theater, gassed, tied up, and waking up face to face with a killer — we break down exactly how knowing your frame can do the majority of the storytelling work for you, seamlessly connecting your tech and craft into one powerful system.
