Action: The Pursuit Of Acting Excellence

Part 2 of my conversation with actor and audition specialist Michael Kostroff.

Michael Kostroff has been in approximately every TV show ever made. Here's his advice on auditioning.http://www.auditionpsych101.comhttps://twitter.com/TheRealKostroff

How to lose the nerves and build unshakable confidence before every audition.

After being asked by many aspiring actors to recommend books that helped me when I was starting out I decided to make an episode on just that. All books mentioned can be found at www.leigh-foster.com/journal

On this episode, actor Justin Kucsulain. I met Justin on the set of Chicago PD, a role which he had booked from a self-taped audition (and which airs tomorrow night, january 20th on NBC). I later find out that he had booked multiple other roles in this same way, including a role on The Walking Dead and a recurring role my favorite Netflix show, Bloodline. I was fascinated and told him I needed to have him on my podcast.
