Episode 330: Are You a Good Actor?
🎧 Episode Summary:
In this empowering solo episode, voiceover actor and coach Mandy Fisher poses a bold question that every actor must learn to answer with confidence: “Are you a good actor?”
We’re taught from day one to expect rejection in this industry—but rarely are we taught to say yes to ourselves first. Mandy breaks down why internal validation is the foundation of success and how your energy, mindset, and self-belief shape every audition, job, and opportunity.
💡 Key Takeaways:
-
Your Confidence Sets the Tone: If you walk into the room unsure if you belong, others will sense it.
-
Start with a Daily Practice:
Ask yourself:-
Am I a good actor?
-
Am I an expert storyteller?
-
Am I worthy of this career?
-
Am I ready for my next opportunity?
Your answer needs to be YES—every single time.
-
-
Don’t Wait for External Feedback: Casting directors and agents often won’t tell you what you did right. Create your own feedback loop by reviewing your past work and tracking your progress.
-
Rejection Hits Different When You’ve Already Said Yes to Yourself: A “no” becomes part of the process—not a blow to your self-worth.
-
Progress Is Quiet: Celebrate subtle wins—more callbacks, better auditions, stronger connections.
