BONUS: Randall Slavin — We All Want Something Beautiful Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest takes us on a fascinating journey that begins in a gas station and culminates in an extraordinary career of striking, viscerally effecting images. Randall Slavin began his creative career as an actor, but eventually found that he truly came alive when he was takes photos of his actor friends. He's since developed a body of work that features nearly every iconic face of Hollywood. From Charlize Theron and Dennis Hopper to Kevin Bacon, Terrance Howard, Zoe Saldana, and so many more, he captures the essence of each of these artists in the most expressive and imaginative ways.

He shares what he learned from his pursuit of an acting career, and how he was ultimately able to discover how the universe was pulling him in a new direction. Our conversation offers an insider and outsider's perspective on what it is to be an actor, and what it is to listen to and trust the inner voice that calls to every artist.

His work has been featured in nearly every major publication, in galleries across the world, and in his new book, WE ALL WANT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Sense Memory — with Alyshia Ochse Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

Everything we perceive, interpret, and ultimately feel in life is filtered through our five senses, and stored in our subconscious with sense memory. Our imaginations are fueled by life experiences. Building our emotional muscles to their full potential is just as important as developing our physical and vocal muscles. This is the key to both our physical and emotional life as actors. Without sense memory, we cannot act. Please subscribe to That One Audition on Apple Podcasts and follow us on social media: LINKS:

096: Travis Van Winkle — An Ascending Loop of Frustration and Mastery Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest entered his on-camera career after being eliminated from the first round of a reality TV show. Little did he know how one small connection from this otherwise absurd and hilarious experience would open the door to a creative career that would force him to examine his humanity and the world around him. Travis Van Winkle made it to LA with a few hundred bucks in his pocket and the belief that somehow, he would find a career telling stories on camera. He's done just that and more, having appeared in films like Transformers, Friday the 13th, Meet the Spartans, and an even longer list of television roles.

We chat about how his capacity for gratitude has expanded since the beginning days of his career, how a life in this business has encouraged deep personal reflection and growth, and how the jobs he's lost have paved the way to even bigger, better, and more expansive opportunities---like going back to school AFTER his series regular role in THE LAST SHIP.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: CLOAK of a Coach — with Alyshia Ochse and Matt Newton Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Matt Newton, NY acting coach, gives insight on how he helps protect actors and uses his keen eye and kind heart to bring forth the true essence of your authentic artistry.

095: Peter Facinelli — Do Your Best Work, The Subjectivity of Art Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

For today's episode I'm sitting down with actor Peter Facinelli. Before he was cast as the head of a certain vampire family in one of the highest grossing film franchises of all time, Peter wanted to be lawyer. But after realizing that a life practicing law wasn't at all like what he'd seen on TV, he discovered his love for acting—which as he shares, served his desire for attention, but also to disappear into becoming other people----which he has now done for the past 25 years. From his roles in Twilight, Nurse Jackie, and Can't Hardly Wait, to all the jobs that didn't quite work out, we chat about the subjectivity of art and how one seemingly "lost" job can open the door to even greater opportunities.

Looking back on his 25 year career, he shares how he chooses what to do next, when to say no, and what producing and directing has taught him about giving back.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Grace — with Alyshia Ochse Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

Is it possible to give the same grace to an artist who takes a decade to learn as it does to a lawyer or doctor as they learn?

094: Jaime Ray Newman — Collaborating Community in Creativity Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

When you listen to today's academy award winning guest, you'll likely wonder how she manages to balance executive producing award-winning films, appearing as a series regular and recurring role on multiple TV shows, and raising a one-year-old. The answer, as Jaime Ray Newman shares today, is surprisingly simple. With the help of her creative community and collaborator-husband Guy Nativ, she's managed to build a body of work that captures humanity with breathtaking honesty. From the Academy Award winning short, SKIN, to her upcoming role in the series, LITTE FIRES EVERYWHERE with Reese Witherspoon, she shares her journey and how she's gone from creating her own theatre company at 16 in Michigan, to building a life in Los Angeles telling dynamics stories with prolific artists. As an actress, Newman has been working steadily for almost 20 years. She was a series regular on multiple TV series, including The Punisher for Marvel/ Netflix, Midnight, Texas for NBC, Bates Motel for A&E, Eastwick (based on The Witches of Eastwick) for ABC, Eureka for SYFY, and most recently Midnight, Texas for NBC. Newman will next be seen in the feature film Valley of the Godsdirected by Lech Majewski, starring opposite Josh Hartnett and John Malkovich, and Midnight Climax directed by Joseph Sorrentino.

As a producer, Newman and her husband, filmmaker Guy Nattiv, run New Native Pictures. Their short film SKIN won the 2019 Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short, along with many festivals around the world. It was acquired by FOX Searchlight.

093: Chris Chalk — Find Your WHY Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

Today we're sitting down with actor Chris Chalk as he shares how he's made a career working on Broadway, on TV, and in Film—with some of the industry's most notable names and memorable projects—like Denzel Washington in FENCES on Broadway, in 12 Years a Slave, on Fox's Gotham, The Newsroom, and the Netflix mini-series When they See Us. From auditioning across from Denzel, to curating a team of supportive reps who have his back and helped him fight for his goals in this business, he has lots to share about setting an intention in his work and staying excited about the process of telling stories on stage and screen.

In addition to his lengthy list of credits, you can also see him in the upcoming and anticipated HBO series Perry Mason.
