The WAJ podcast is designed to show you HOW the work is done, WHAT the realities of the working actor life are like, and to share all the different ways actors have come to this career. There is no one path and no single answer. We want to learn from all of those further down the road, to shorten the learning curve and to discover what helps and what doesn’t when it comes to having a lifelong career as an actor.

🏁 In our second week, highlights include:

• Deciding on the beats of the scene - what each is "called"
• Bringing Leontes back to sanity vs. punishing him
• Exploring the meaning of "I'll keep her in the stables"
