One Broke Actress

From Miami to Munich, today's guest Sidonie Smith is a musical theatre actress, violinist, and a damn good motivational speaker who hopped on a call all the way from Berlin. She shares how she went from shy orchestra player to making her own path and following her own "golden doors" of opportunity that led her to where she is now. I think we all need a little Sidonie in our life right now.  Sidonie's Website Sidonie's Instagram One Broke Actress Instagram  One Broke Actress Followed Movie Tickets --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-broke-actress-podcast/message

Matthew Law graces us with his thoughts, feelings, and journey as an actor, producer, and writer in today's episode. From his choice to finally call himself an actor, to finding validation not from roles but from practicing the work, and how tokenism effects sets...Matthew really shares himself with us. We also talk about how white supremacy has a significant role in roles themselves as well as actors "deserving" feelings to gain them and how the current protests and movement has refocused his passion in ways he couldn't have imagined.

Matthew tells us all about how and what he looks for in clients and how to have a true long lasting career with your reps.

Let's put this free time in to use. We don't have a "big epic plan" this season, but we do have a lot of amazing humans with the time to chat. And we sure do have a lot to chat about. This season we're going to cover the standards: day to day life in and around the business, what you know and want to share, how you got to where you are. But we're also going to talk a lot about what we're doing now and to prepare for the future of whatever this Covid-19 world throws at us. LOVE YOU ALL (please review this podcast).
