Staring Fear in the Face as an Actor

Posted on by Talia, Actress & Lifestyle Coach

FEAR.

Most of the time, just on the other side of fear is liberation and elation.

Throughout our acting journey we get to face sooo many scary experiences.  What scares you most in your acting career?  Is it performing, the audition process, thinking no one will want to represent you, going in for a producer session, or the thought of you not “making it”?

It was time…I CHOSE to face a BIG fear of mine right in the face.

For at least 5 years, the notion of taking an improv class kept knocking at my door and I wouldn’t answer it. Then I […]

Getting to Know Your Type

Posted on by Talia, Actress & Lifestyle Coach

How many of you struggle with knowing your type?

I recently have worked with a couple of clients who had the goal of getting new representation and before we got into repackaging their marketing materials, creating a target list, and all the necessary prep work that goes into it when I asked what their type casting was – I began to see a theme.

Many actors don’t know what their type is and they leave it up to the industry to decide it for them.

So before we could jump into more of the administrative tasks needed to seek new representation we had […]

How to Give Your Best When You’re Not Feeling Your Best

Posted on by Talia, Actress & Lifestyle Coach

I have a confession to make.

Recently during my time off…I got booked.   Yep, I got cast.  Yes, I was on set.

How did that happen while I was not auditioning?

I’ll start by saying, “Never count out any of your auditions.”  So check it, it was early this year in January when I had the casting opportunity.  I read for four different co-star roles for the upcoming season.  They said shooting would take place anywhere between March-August.

There are those auditions that you just know you did a slam dunk, you went all in, and it just felt “right” -aka – lived and not […]

Top 3 Ways to Book the Room

Posted on by Talia, Actress & Lifestyle Coach

Don’t go to get booked.  Go to book the room.

It’s what we commonly hear as actors if you’ve been in the game for a minute, have taken an on-camera class, or have been on many auditions, but you haven’t booked anything yet – you’re getting frustrated and a mentor, actor friend or teacher reminds you of this…oh so golden piece of advice.

If you are new to the acting scene and you’re now learning this for the first time, keep reading and once you begin to audition – own it.  And watch your career and confidence unfold because of it.

If you […]

Why it’s Worth Doing What Scares You and Failing Big

Posted on by Talia, Actress & Lifestyle Coach

Do you consider yourself a comedic or dramatic actress or both? 

When I first moved to LA, I was all about drama roles – give me an emotional storyline with a heart sickened character to devour, pour my heart into and my soul was on fire. 

Well, trying to make my way as a working actress in LA, I got presented with a couple of surprises. 

The first delightful surprise was, oooh I’m meeting with a manager, how cool – in a coffee shop, “wow – she thinks I have the “it” factor”!  Needless to say, I signed and within a couple of weeks, I started to audition here and […]

Don’t Throw in the Towel

Do you plan to stay in the game?

Sometimes a major player in the game gets hurt and has to stand on the sidelines, but one thing he knows for sure, he’ll be back in the game.

At Coach Summit, one of my fave things to do is the Super Saturday workout at the crack of dawn, led by all the celebrity trainers like – Chalene Johnson, Shaun T., Autumn Calabrese, and Tony Horton to name a few. Usually every year I share sweaty pics from the infamous workout that’s among thousands of other coaches.  This year it was 25,000 of us!
