Actress, author, and activist, Selenis Leyva believes that the desire to perform is something that you’re born with, a passion that lies within your genes. Born in the Bronx, it was clear from the start that Selenis had a thirst for learning the craft when at age 14, she asked to use the school auditorium to create a drama class for herself and a group of her fellow classmates. Today, she recalls a defining moment in her youth where she was told that her dream of pursuing education in the arts was “not for you” and how this pivotal moment gave her the motivation to go forward with the mindset of “Just watch me.” Selenis captivated audiences with her riveting and layered performance as Gloria Mendoza in Netflix’s hit show, “Orange is the New Black.” What started as a dayplayer role that her agent advised her to pass on, became a fully fledged character she created off of a breakdown that simply read, “Gloria Mendoza, Latina.” Today, we’ll hear about her journey navigating an industry where Selenis recognized a lack of Latinx representation on screen and how that was reflected early on in her career in the types of roles she was called in for. Over the course of her 20 year career, Selenis has continued to challenge the idea of what others labeled as “not for you” and has used her platform to shine a light on the stories of others who are often excluded from the table. She has achieved this not only on screen, but also through the publishing of a book co written with her sister, Marizol Leyva, titled, “My Sister: How One Sibling’s Transition Changed Us Both.” Selenis has a kindness and self confidence that radiates to those around her when sharing advice for up and coming actors. Above all else, she emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself. With self respect and self love, she says, that’s all that’s needed to want the best for yourself and to settle for nothing less.

Today’s guest is the one and only Noomi Rapace. She’s an actress and a producer. A shatterer of limiting beliefs. She achieved international fame originating the role of Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish adaptation of the Millennium Series: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” This woman digs into the mind, body, and soul of every character she plays. Just watch her portray septuplets in “What Happened to Monday.” It’s masterful. And from the beginning of her career in Sweden, she’s taken a unique approach to auditioning that might unravel some of your ideas about this industry. Noomi’s worked with everyone from Guy Ritchie's in “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” to Ridley Scott in “Prometheus,” to Tom Hardy in “Child 44,” to John Krasinski in “Jack Ryan.” She opens up about producing and starring in her latest film, “The Secrets We Keep,” and shares how much she enjoys peeling back the layers of truth in her own life and in the stories she tells. Her career is an example of the depths you can go when you master your fears, and the connections that unfold when you create the work you want to create.

“If you can see it, you can move it.” One night, as a teenager living on a farm in Canada, Paul Greene dreamed he was working on a movie set. He had never seen one before. Now as an actor, musician, writer, director, and producer, Paul has worked on the sets of countless films and series. He’s been dubbed the Cary Grant of the Hallmark Channel. And today, we’re diving into the stories of how he got there. Paul didn’t work as an actor in the beginning. He traveled the world as a model spending most of his 20s working for brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger. Paul shares how spiritually and financially grounding this time was for him but also how the dream of storytelling never left him. At 30, and with a 5-month-old son, he set out to manifest that dream. Many commercials, series regular and guest spots on dozens of TV shows including NCIS, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Newsroom, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, and Bitten, as well as 9 Hallmark Films later, you could say it’s manifest. He currently stars as Dr. Carson Shepherd in the Hallmark hit series When Calls the Heart. Last year he released a new album called Freedom for your Soul. And on Father’s Day 2021, he’s releasing a book, 52 ways to be the Dad you wish you had. This man is always creating. And in a powerful way, it’s thanks to his son and Paul’s never-ending mission of having his life be a contribution to others.

Breathwork is the bridge to spirit, takes us into other realms, heals our body of trauma, regulates our para sympathetic system (nerves/fear) and connects us to our voice. Today, Robin Solo joins Wednesday Wisdom to give insight about how Breathwork will help strengthen your instrument. Tension is restrictive to breathing freely and deeply. A person free of stress will be calmer and better able to concentrate and connect to what they are saying in an open way. Our breath changes with our emotions so if you are free of stress anxiety, tension, fear, etc…you’ll be more present in your voice and body. If you are not breathing deeply and freely your voice, which is fueled by the breath, may sound weak and breathy without enough energy to project. This breath practice physiologically strengthens our lungs, lung capacity and endurance. Also if you are someone who has limiting beliefs or trauma around using your voice - for example you were told to be quiet, you felt not seen or heard because you felt no one was listening to you or taking you seriously - this practice can help you let go of that trauma and support you in speaking your truth. It can support you in speaking up and taking your power back in opening your throat chakra giving you more confidence to feel and express emotions through your voice.   EPISODE LINKS: EMAIL: RobinSolo@gmail.com TURNING POINT PILATES: Breathwork MEETUP: A Breathwork Collective: Quiet the Mind, Uplevel Body & Soul SHOW LINKS: Please subscribe to That One Audition on Apple Podcasts and follow us on social media: WHAT'S MY FRAME: Learn the basic frames used in filmmaking and how to incorporate them to create dynamic and engaging self-tape auditions.

Today’s guest is the gutsy and candid Sarah Shahi. You might recognize her as Jenny from Alias, Carmen on the L-Word, or the iconic Sameen Shaw on CBS’ Person of Interest. She’s a refreshingly honest and thus charming actress who makes no apologies for being herself. She discusses how befriending Robert Altman as an extra on his set inspired her to pursue an acting career and make the move from Texas to LA. She emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself in every way possible- for her, that means keeping her wardrobe casual and messy- even if it costs her the job. Sarah keeps it real, opening up about what it’s like to film sex scenes and even begin lactating mid-audition. Her career is an example of what can happen when you don’t plan your life around the work and instead trust that the net will catch you.

I am thrilled to welcome the radiant Angel Parker to TOA. This powerhouse has proven she can work in any genre, going from the hit Disney show, LAB RATS, to Ryan Murphy’s THE PEOPLE VS. OJ SIMPSON, and Marvel’s RUNAWAYS. There is nothing Hollywood- or life- has handed Angel that she hasn’t taken in stride and reframed to work in her favor. Today, we’ll hear how she worked through personal tragedy while having to shoot a pilot, the lesson she learned working with Sarah Paulson, and the silver lining of almost booking THIS IS US. For Angel, the work is about trusting that life is always leading you to exactly where you need to be. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Angel Parker right here!
