That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

Over the course of a 40 year career, Ron Cephas Jones has built a beautiful body of work ranging from theater in New York City with the Labyrinth Theater Company, to an award winning performance in the NBC television hit, This is Us . Today’s guest has learned the craft purely through experience and now teaches the art of breaking down the script to students at the California Institute of the Arts. His credits include the role of William Hill in This is Us, Truth Be Told, The Get Down, Luke Cage, Looking for Alaska, Mr. Robot, Low Winter Sun and many more. Today, Ron breaks down his technique for building dynamic characters by shedding light on all those actor terms like “beats”, “transitions”, “specificity” and everything in between. Through it all, whether it was taking odd jobs in New York, or his two Emmy award wins, Ron Cephas Jones has never forgotten what is most important to him: being a father to his Emmy award winning daughter, Jasmine Cephas Jones, and being happy as an artist.

Today’s guest started out as a dancer at just 2 years old and grew up studying ballet. She continued her dance practice all through college before deciding she wanted to pursue a career as a theater actor. Before she was cast in the role of fan favorite, Dr. Luisa Alver on Jane the Virgin, Yara Martinez spent the early years of her career in New York where the auditions felt few and far between. Today, she shares her journey with us, taking us through her 15+ year career in television and film starting from doing as many as 7 pilots that never made it to series, to battling nerves in the audition room, to receiving her very first...and second...straight offer both in one day! Since her early days in New York, Yara Martinez has earned credits on major television series such as True Detective, Alpha House, Jane the Virgin, Deputy, Hollywood Heights, The Lying Game, and many more. She gives us some practical insight into the business side of the industry including how she structured a series of short but effective emails that landed her representation in Los Angeles, and emphasizes the importance of finding an agent that is just as excited about you as you are about them. For Yara, it’s all about maintaining a delicate balance between gratitude and worth when it comes to your career and the belief that no one will advocate harder for our love of what we do than ourselves.

From bringing diverse and dynamic characters to life on screen, to flexing his entrepreneurial spirit through his production company Them Too, multi hyphenate actor, director, producer, and writer Alain Uy has become “one to watch” in the entertainment industry, and he isn't slowing down anytime soon. Alain Uy is best known for his acting work on Helstrom, The Morning Show, and True Detective just to name a few, but above all he is a grounded and collaborative storyteller. Growing up as a Filipino immigrant, he found his voice silenced and searching for opportunities to express himself. This led him to pursue a career as a professional dancer. But when a debilitating injury ended his dance career, he found acting. From cold calling, to repeatedly submitting to agencies, to balancing a full time job while auditioning, Alain’s been through it all and shares the lessons he’s learned from failing and trying again. He reveals the importance of being present and seeing yourself as a collaborator to enable others to do the same. He shares valuable insight into his process and how he mines the character for trauma and experiences to discover how they became the person they are. As a producer, Alain’s been on the other side and gives advice on being a multi hyphenate and how it further informed his acting and artistry as a whole. And Alain shares a little something he learned on the set of True Detective from the one and only Colin Farrel: there is no one that’s less than. We are a family, a community, a team, and must support each other as such.

Today’s guest is living proof that alliterated names are a mark of success. Michael Mosley has done it all. His career is one to marvel, working nonstop in film and television in comedies such as Scrubs and dramas like Netflix’s Ozark and FX’s Next. Mike takes us through his beginnings as an acting student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts into a prolific and admirable career. He’s candid about his early auditioning struggles and how he eventually overcame his insecurities and lack of confidence. From working with Margot Robbie in Pan Am to Jason Bateman in Ozark, he tells all and proves that building relationships and being a good person begets work. He shares his advice for longevity in this business but admits that acting is like gambling, and he’s always trying to stay at the table. Ultimately, Mike believes attitude is everything- you’ve gotta say F-it and have a little punk rock in you.

Having anxiety about life? Holidays? Auditions? What 2021 will look like? Me too. You are not alone. Today, I wanted to share the healthy EXIT to any anxiety. I wanted to end with soothing and practical wisdom from one of my great healers Nicola Salter. Anxiety is a jumbled mess of saying that your body is looking for "any exit" to not feel the cortisol dump that is happening. So here are some recommendations to immediately give the healthy exit for anxiety - whether you are trying to avoid a family catastrophe this holiday season or stepping back into the audition room. Nicola Salter is an international Mentor, Quantum Field Practitioner, Heart Math Coach, Educator, Author. To manage your anxiety (during this holiday season) and build more coherence prior to and during an audition, I recommend you practice some breathwork called Heart Focused Breathing. This is a quick and easy technique to reset your emotions, and rewire your brain. It is used widely to calm anxiety on the spot and help you become centered.   Episode Links: COURSE: How to Decode & Calm Your Emotions: Your Self-Care Tool Kit for Overcoming Stress, Anxiety, and Overwhelm   Show Links:  COURSE: Creating great characters and existing in each moment has landed some of the best actors and storytellers on That One Audition.  To uplevel your character building check out CONTENT IS CONFIDENCE CONSULTING: Consulting with Alyshia Ochse COACHING: Coaching with Alyshia Ochse SUBSCRIBE: To dive deeper into each episode, plus receive exclusive bonuses related to the show, come join the newsletter here INSTAGRAM: Be sure to snap a screenshot and tag me @alyshiaochse and @thatoneaudition as you're listening to this week's episode.
