Get Set!

Welcome to the SEASON 5 FINALE episode of the Get Set! Podcast where we aim to demystify the idea of an overnight success while highlighting the array of diverse jobs within the industry, with a focus on Women in the Film and TV space.

Figuratively, literally, physically, mentally, vibes wise, and what's on paper, WHAT are YOU telling the industry about your craft, your career and where you want to go, and how is that affecting your journey and your results.

We love an OG episode because we like to dish about what's top of mind for us in our careers at the moment, compile the best (and worst) recommendations we hear, and learn to take a little of our own advice.

We hope you have enjoyed this 5th Season of the Get Set! Podcast as much as we have! We're so grateful to have you on as listeners with us.

To continue to bring you excellent guests next season, help us out by FOLLOWING, RATING [ 5 stars ;) ] and writing a REVIEW of this podcast to help us widen our audience and bring you more incredible filmmakers.

Salcedo was a Sundance Fellow and Rideback Rise Fellow in 2025, and a Netflix/Shondaland Fellow in 2024, and tells us all about her journey getting there, the difference and need of each fellowship in her career, and her biggest advice directing her feature film SWITCH & BAIT, a female-centric action film.

From building your process, to building your at home set up, Voice Actress DELILAH KUJALA walks us through the origins of her acting career after graduating with a BFA degree, to her successful Voice Acting career and landing a recurring role on South Park.

We love learning the logistics on this pod, like tangible advice on where to find these VO gigs, and the realities of training for this profession. What we also get in this episode is the mental prep of dropping into the scene, what to do in between those career changing calls, and when to go all in on something you want and “Make the impossible, possible”.

She's also about to have a baby!!! CONGRATULATIONS DELILAH!!! We are so excited for you both professionally and personally!

One of our favorite people in the industry RICHELLE TAYLOR is back on the podcast today, sharing with us all the details of how she booked and worked her first directing job for a major network television show!

She walks us through how this job came to be, her prep process, the realness of those first few moments where every department head is looking to you, how she balanced everything on the day, how and why to trust the people you work with, and the feeling of dropping into an already established show and actors who have worked for years in these characters, along with building new ones.

There is SOOO much info in this episode, and if you listened to her episode in Season 2 Episode 14 talking about her extensive experience on set as a Script Supervisor, you know what an incredible person she is, and that she's absolutely FULL of logistical and tangible notes that are beneficial for everyone to hear in this space.

If you need to hear it, this is your sign, to keep working, keep doing the thing, keep putting your best foot forward, and moments like this can happen, where you get the opportunity to finally be in your dream role on set.

CONGRATULATIONS RICHELLE!!! We can't wait to see what you do next!

Go check out Richelle's episode of "Boston Blue", episode 13 “Beautiful Broken Things” which premiered April 3rd of this year, on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus.
