    #191 How to Stand Out in Every Audition with Hools Kay Wyder
    May 20 2025

    What happens when you stop shrinking yourself to fit the mold—and start auditioning like you?

    In this powerful and inspiring episode, I sit down with Hools Kay Wyder, a proudly queer, asexual, non-binary, and neurodivergent actor, coach, and creative force. From their early days in musical theatre to carving out space in the world of film, Hools shares what it really takes to stand out in the audition room—without compromising who they are.

    If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite “fit” in this industry, this episode is your permission slip to stop apologizing and start showing up as your full, bold self.

    🎬 What You’ll Learn: Why individuality is your greatest asset in the room

    How to prepare like a pro—without overthinking it

    The truth about casting directors (hint: they’re rooting for you)

    What it takes to transition from stage to screen successfully

    How coaching others can unlock your own growth as an actor

  • #190 The Audition I Bombed… and Why It Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened with Sahil Zirvi

    #190 The Audition I Bombed… and Why It Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened with Sahil Zirvi
    May 13 2025

    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.
