• 4.9 Podcasting, Patreon, & Audiobooks w/ REBECCA STRUZYNA

  We have a special spooky guest with us this Halloween week; coming straight to us from Cobwebb Cottage in the UK is The West London Witch herself, REBECCA STRUZYNA!!!Rebecca, or Becca as we know her to be, is an Actress, Musical Theatre teacher in London, and Creator of The West London Witch Podcast where real stories are shared about people's experiences with the spooky, strange, mysterious, and unexplained. Becca has had INSANE guests on her show including Chris McKinnell (Ed and Lorraine Warren's grandson from the infamous Annabelle Doll story), Brandon Alvis and Mustafa Gatollari from Ghost Hunters, Andrea Perron from the real Conjuring house, Mike Allen who was the actual reporter for "The Devil Made Me Do It" court case, and more! Though in the end Becca shares that some of her favorite moments come from the people who write in to tell about their own personal haunted experiences. No matter who the guest is, the goal is always a great story! We talk the mind and technical hurtles of starting a podcast, creating a great and consistent show, and the differences between content for Social Media and sharing exclusive content for a growing fan base on a platform like Patreon. We also get into how to approach and sustain your physical and mental self during an audiobook recording, and how to prep for that feat as an actor.

  This Monday we have on the pod, our new obsession... SHELAH LARSON!!! Shelah (pronounced SHAY-LA, get it right), is an Actress, Producer, Director, Writer, and Content Creator. She's been awarded “Best Actress” for indie-films, including Bad Vintage (2023) and Back Home (2022).

• 4.5 How to Network Successfully

  We love and hate this … it’s NETWORKING!! So essential, so vital, and sometimes so fun! But definitely beneficial when you do it the “right” way. In this episode we cover networking in unusual places, or places you wouldn’t think you’d find people in your field, like your survival job, and yes, even the women’s bathroom. We discuss the power of networking horizontally, not just vertically, networking solo vs. networking with a partner, some financial work arounds and tips, what we think is the BIGGEST waste of time at networking events, and our favorite advice from none other than the queen herself, Taylor Alison Swift. We get into the good, the bad, and the ugly of networking events, but provide tools to help you make the most of them at any level of your career.  It’s no surprise that other than on set, our favorite places to network are at women centered events, and we have some incredible recommendations for you below: Networking Resources:Women In EntertainmentMoonshot InitiativeAlliance of Women DirectorsScript Coverage: @KateBai on InstagramPitch Deck help: @LMPowers15 on InstagramNext Monday we have an INCREDIBLE multi-hyphenate guest that we got through...you guessed it, NETWORKING! We'll be talking all about her career twists and turns, and the successful film festival run she's now having. You won't want to miss it! Be sure to follow, rate, and review this podcast.
