Why do talented actors sometimes walk into auditions and completely disconnect from themselves? In this episode, casting director and acting teacher Jeffrey Dreisbach explores one of the biggest hidden audition killers: overthinking. From self-monitoring and approval-seeking to trying too hard to “be good,” this episode breaks down the subtle habits that quietly sabotage actors before the scene even begins. Practical, funny, and brutally honest, this episode helps actors reconnect to behavior, simplicity, and truthful work. What if the biggest thing hurting your auditions… isn’t your acting?

Some actors perform every script exactly the same way. Which is fascinating… because sitcoms and crime dramas are not emotionally identical species. In this Episode, we’re talking about musicality, genre, rhythm… and why the script itself may already be telling you how to act. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What if your obsession with “feeling the emotion”… is actually hurting your acting? Today we’re talking about the difference between feeling something… and doing something. And trust me— this one tends to make actors very uncomfortable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What if the very thing your acting class praised… is the exact thing hurting your auditions? Today we’re talking about the disconnect between acting training… and actually getting cast.

If you’ve ever created a 10-page backstory for a 2-page audition… If you’ve ever decided your character had a childhood trauma… that no one asked for… Or if you’ve ever walked into a room feeling very prepared… and still didn’t book it— This episode might save your career.

What if I told you that most actors don’t lose jobs because they’re not talented… They lose jobs because no one knows where to put them. Today, we fix that—without labels, without limits, and without the word “type.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Today we are talking about something that every actor has… every actor worries about… and almost every actor gets wrong. Your demos. Your video reel. Your voice-over demo. Now, I’m going to say something right up front that might shift your thinking immediately: Your demo is not there to show how talented you are. It’s there to make casting feel confident about where to put you. That’s a very different job. And once you understand that… everything changes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you ever walk out of an audition thinking: “I nailed that.” You felt connected. Prepared. Alive in the scene. And then… You didn’t book it. So the actor brain starts spinning. “Was I bad?” “Did they hate it?” “What did I do wrong?” But here’s the truth most actors never hear: The best actor doesn’t always get the job. The best match does. And once you understand why… Auditions become a lot less painful. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
