  • Best Of: Auditions
    Nov 3 2025

    Welcome to our first best-of episode! We've compiled some of our best tips and hacks from the archives on one of our most requested topics: auditions. Misha gives you some of her strategies to build confidence and advises actors to treat self-submissions as a vital marketing tool, even if you're repped by an agent or manager. Most importantly: never apologize in an audition unless it's an emergency. You should instead think of the experience as a meeting of equals and a chance to share a little bit of your best self with the room. Head high, no apologies!
