Ep 197 – From Open Mic Dabbler To Paid Pro What if you could turn your late night open mics and bar shows into a real career on stage and on screen, without going broke, burning out, or killing the joy that made you start in the first place? In this solo episode of Inside the Audition, I answer 6 raw, honest questions from one of my clients who wants to go full time in comedy. I walk through what I actually did, what I would do differently now, and how you can use the same principles whether you are a comedian, actor, or any performer who wants to get paid for what you love. If you feel stuck between "I love this" and "how do I make money from this," this one is for you. In this episode, I share: How I went from unpaid open mics to higher paying gigs The real steps that moved me from "I will perform for beer and wings" to corporates, keynotes, and paid shows, plus the stuff I would skip if I was starting again today. Craft vs cash, and why they are not the same game How to think about getting really good at what you do, and separately, how to think about making money from it, so you stop confusing the two and beating yourself up. How to handle the money roller coaster without frying your nervous system Day jobs, runway, expenses, when to quit, when not to, and how I would set things up now so you can pursue your art without living in constant panic. The "writing vs hustling" question How much time should you spend on new material vs finding gigs and opportunities, what "balance" actually looks like, and how I personally create new material in real life, not in theory. Mentors, coaches, and why I lost years trying to lone wolf it The story of the headliner who took me on the road, what I learned from generous veterans, and why I now put so much value on coaching, acting classes, business coaching, and real communities. How to actually network with full time comedians without being weird Where to show up, how to become part of the community, why hosting your own show is a cheat code, and simple ways to build real relationships instead of awkward transactions. Staying positive when you are not booking as many gigs as you want Why tying your happiness to "how many shows I have this month" is a trap, how I think about slow seasons now, and what to do when your calendar is light so you do not spiral. Performing in the States and visas How my dual citizenship works, what most Canadian and international performers pursue instead, and what you should start saving and documenting now if the US is in your future. The bigger game: who you are being, not just what you are doing Getting specific about what you actually want your career to look like, why energy and identity matter more than any single tactic, and how to think long term while still being ready for magic today. Rough timestamps 00:00 Why I turned one client's text into a full episode 03:04 Craft vs money, and why you need to separate them 07:06 My early days saying yes to almost everything 10:08 Being a pro on and off stage so shows lead to more shows 18:42 Handling money, quitting your job, and not nuking your nervous system 20:48 Writing new material vs hustling for gigs 24:59 Mentors, coaching, and the cost of doing it alone 32:12 Where to actually meet and connect with working comics 36:02 Staying optimistic when you are not booking 42:33 Working in the US and the O 1 conversation 44:56 Bonus: getting brutally clear on what you really want Sponsored by: Monologue of the Month Club If you are serious about performing and you want to go from unseen to unforgettable and book your next lead role, join Monologue of the Month Club.

This one's different. It's not about audition technique. It's about you. Your real life. The role you're already playing and the one you'll be remembered for. After attending a celebration of life for a family friend, I reflect on a truth too many actors learn too late: 💥 "There's no callback that can replace a moment that matters with the people you love." If you're chasing every gig and saying yes out of fear… If you're burning out while trying to "make it"… If you feel guilty for choosing rest, or family, or joy... This episode is your wake-up call. Your permission slip.  Your full-body YES. 💡 YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH: 🎯 A powerful reminder: You're already playing a lead role in your own life. ❤️ Why acting should support your family life, not steal from it 🧠 How to reframe the 'grind' and stop saying yes to things that feel like a no 🧘‍♂️ How to move from work-life balance to work-life harmony 🚫 The lie of hustle culture and how to escape it for good 🌱 A vision for a career that fits your actual life (not one that demands you abandon it) ✨ HEADLINE TRUTH: 🎬 You are the writer. 🎬 You are the director. 🎬 You are the lead. So… is the story you're telling one that you love? 🎯 READY TO BUILD A CAREER THAT LOVES YOU BACK? 📦 Join Monologue of the Month Club Your monthly ritual to rehearse, record, and rise.

🎧 TL;DL: Your most powerful auditions don't come from perfection—they come from presence. In this episode, I chat with actor, poet, filmmaker, and self-described "soldier of the arts" Kody Poisson for a deep dive into what it really takes to drop the armor and deliver an unforgettable performance. From growing up in the mountains of Germany to training in the UK, from crashing and burning in auditions to getting a single life-changing redirect, Kody shares what it takes to go from rigid performance to intuitive artistry. Whether you're overthinking your self-tapes, stuck in your head, or just need a reminder of why you started this journey in the first place… this episode is your reset button. 🎯 Key Takeaways You'll Love: 🎭 Why "intellectual armor" is killing your performances—and how to drop it 🎯 The surprising redirect that changed Kody's entire approach to acting 🧪 What it means to live in the laboratory of the imagination 🍳 Why you should stop being an "artistic waiter" and start being a "culinary expert" 🎬 How to find truth in the moment instead of chasing perfection 🎥 Why Kody left the traditional path to create his own projects as a guerrilla filmmaker 🧠 How coaching other actors deepened his own artistic process 🔄 The trap of endless takes—and the real reason your 10th one never lands 🎬 Big Questions We Answer (That'll Make You Hit Play Fast!): What do casting directors actually want—and why is it impossible to guess? How can you stop trying to "win" the audition and start showing up as your fullest self? Why is trying harder sometimes the exact wrong move? What's the real difference between preparation and performance—and how do you know when you've crossed the line? How can indie filmmaking and acting training fuel each other—and help you build a creative life on your terms? 🎧 Tune in now to hear Kody's powerful take on why your best audition isn't planned—it's felt.  This conversation might just change how you approach your next lead role.

🎧 A Special Crossover Episode with the Mind Your Business Podcast This is the episode I've been dreaming of. I finally got to share my full story on James Wedmore's Mind Your Business Podcast — and now I'm bringing that conversation straight to you. If you're an actor, comedian, or creator juggling auditions, day jobs, and side hustles... wondering how the hell to build something sustainable — this is your wake-up call. I walk you through how I went from an actor with a duct-taped, do-it-all-myself coaching business to building two digital memberships that now bring in over $93K/year — all while staying in the industry, booking roles, and even traveling the world. It started with one decision: enrolling in Business by Design after attending The Rise of the Digital CEO training. And in this episode, I unpack every lesson I learned from it. 🔑 What You'll Learn in This Episode: The one belief shift that helped me escape the starving artist trap How I built Actors Audition Club and Monologue of the Month Club into recurring income streams Why this free training from James Wedmore is more valuable than courses I paid $5K for What happened when I finally raised my prices and stopped doing it all myself The wild story of hiring 7 coaches in a week — and what came next How to launch your first offer (even if you don't have it built yet) Why I believe every actor, artist, or coach needs to own their own audience BONUS: My private Q&A with James on burnout, creativity, and building a business that supports your art 🧠 This Is for You If… You're tired of chasing gigs with nothing to show for it You want your creativity to fund your life, not just your resume You've thought about creating a course, workshop, or membership — but don't know where to start You're done feeling burnt out and underpaid for your talent You want your business to feel like you (not a corporate machine) 🪄 Teasers That'll Keep You Listening: The $25K investment I never thought I'd make — and why it unlocked everything What really changed when I joined Business by Design How I got 250 new clients from a single voicemail The launch strategy I ditched — and what I use now instead What I tell every actor who's afraid to "sell" online 💥 Don't Miss This: The Rise of the Digital CEO — the free 3-part training that started everything for me — is happening NOW. 🧠 It only opens once a year. You don't want to wait another 12 months. 📲 Comment "RISE" on Instagram @joeyfreddylarsen or register instantly HERE. 🎁 PLUS, when you join Business By Design, you'll unlock $2,888 in exclusive bonuses I created to help actors and creatives launch their digital business faster with less stress.

What happens when you show up to your first big audition... and completely bomb? In this episode, I'm joined by actor, model, and new Actors Audition Club coach Sahil Zirvi, who shares the painful (and powerful) story of the audition that could have broken him... and why it turned out to be the wake-up call that changed everything. We talk about: The one mistake that ruined Sahil's shot at a major role — and why he never made it again The harsh reality of being judged by casting in your first 30 seconds (or less) What makes a "professional" audition — and why most actors still don't rehearse enough Why it's not about memorizing lines (and what to do instead) How coaching others actually helped Sahil level up his own acting process The mindset shift that turns rejection into a badge of honour (instead of a reason to quit) Plus, we go behind-the-scenes of what it's really like to: Book an international commercial that flies you business class to Europe Get invited to join Actors Audition Club as a coach Be in the room with casting and see an actor lose a role over one single word You'll walk away from this one with a renewed commitment to preparation, a few laughs, and a massive boost of inspiration to show up like a pro every single time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 🌟 Want to land more auditions and book your next lead role?
