She wasn’t booking much.
Then suddenly, Virginia had a Casting Director, Producer AND Director fighting for her to lead a movie.
They were telling the network: "She’s the one. She can carry this role."
So what changed?
How does an actor go from struggling to book… to creating an audition powerful enough that an entire creative team advocates for them?
In this free acting class, acting coaches KC Clarkson and Donna-Marie Manning break down one of the biggest things holding talented actors back:
OVERTHINKING.
And more importantly, we show you the difference between overthinking an audition and actually preparing for it.
Using a scene from The Devil Wears Prada with Andy (Anne Hathaway) and Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), we show you how actors can stop obsessing over things like:
“Should I pause here?”
“Am I being awkward enough?”
“Should I look down?”
“Does casting want something different?”
“Am I doing enough?”
…and start asking the questions that actually create strong, specific acting choices:
What do I want?
Who is this person to me?
What’s standing in my way?
What’s at stake?
What changes during the scene?
Because preparation gives you something to play. Overthinking makes you watch yourself play it.
We also talk about Virginia’s journey, the importance of building the right team around your career, and what it takes to create auditions that make casting directors remember you — and advocate for you.

And looking back on how far you have come is so important. Even if you dont book for a year. You can look at your old safe tapes and see the growth!!
I think it was Ann Marie who said it, I can't NOT do this. I am an actor.
