🎙 She Was Just a Reader… Until the Director Gave Her the Job!

What happens when you treat every opportunity like it’s yours to book — even when you’re not auditioning? In this powerful episode, Alexandra Fiallos shares how she landed a commercial by accident, why Shakespeare is still a booking machine in 2025, and how coaching actors turned into one of her greatest creative callings.

Whether you’re just getting started or gunning for your next lead role, this conversation is a masterclass in preparation, mindset, and artistic ownership. It’s the episode actors didn’t know they needed — until now.

🔥 Inside This Episode:

What happened when Alexandra was just reading for her sister… and booked the role herself
Why most actors self-sabotage their self-tapes — and how to stop doing it instantly
The #1 mistake actors make when choosing a reader (and what it costs them)
How Shakespeare helped Alexandra feel understood in a language that wasn’t even her own
Why your “moment before” might be the most important thing in your audition
The coaching philosophy that shifts actors from insecure to unstoppable
How to create “directorial sparks” that get you remembered, even if you don’t book
What to do when you get a bad script — and still want to stand out
Why memorizing is overrated — and what to focus on instead
The subtle self-sabotage actors do in the room… that turns off casting without them knowing

🎭 Plus: The role Alexandra thought was a horse (spoiler: it wasn’t), how she landed Desdemona in one week, and what makes her cry tears of joy in coaching sessions.
