    Episode 347: Your Mind Is Your World
    Jul 30 2025

    In this solo episode, Peter gets deeply personal about a challenging week—and the powerful mindset shift that came from it.

    After getting emotionally “twisted,” Peter turned to her most trusted tools: journaling, meditation, and coaching. What started as a spiral led to a breakthrough realization:

    Your mind is your world. And your world is your mind.

    When you’re in your fear-based thought system, everything feels like a problem. But when you shift into a more loving, conscious mindset, you begin to see challenges as opportunities.

    Peter shares how unconscious thinking patterns can create unnecessary suffering, and how awareness, honesty, and a willingness to feel your feelings can shift your entire experience.

    Whether you’ve had a tough week yourself or you’re just ready for a new perspective, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate reminder of how much power lives in your mindset.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The difference between fear thoughts and love-based thoughts

    • What Peter does when she feels overwhelmed or triggered

    • How to use stream-of-consciousness journaling to uncover what’s really going on

    • Why it’s okay to “suffer a little” before you’re ready to shift

    • A practical way to reset your emotions when you’re feeling stuck

  • Episode 346: Why VO Actors Should Try TikTok

    Episode 346: Why VO Actors Should Try TikTok
    Jul 23 2025

    If you're a creative who rolls their eyes every time someone says, “You should be on TikTok,” I get it.

    I did too.

    But I’ve also seen firsthand how a free platform with a low barrier to entry can quietly change your entire business.

    Not overnight. But steadily. Strategically. Without becoming someone you’re not.

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I use TikTok to stay visible, book clients, and build trust—without filters, dances, or pretending to be an influencer.

    So, why TikTok?

    I never expected to like it. I don’t love being on camera. I don’t enjoy over-polishing or oversharing.

    But I do love showing up for my community. I love talking shop. And I really love when a new client says,
    “I found you on TikTok… I just felt like you got it.”

    They didn’t care about my résumé. They didn’t go through my website.
    They watched a few videos, got curious, and reached out.

    That’s the power of visibility.

    Why Visibility Matters More Than Ever

    I set a personal goal of 30,000 followers. Not for vanity.
    Because I’ve seen how perception changes with scale.

    At that number, people stop wondering if you're legit. They start assuming you are.

    It’s wild, but true: I’ve had actors tell me they didn’t book the job because they “didn’t have a big enough following.”

    So while I don’t love the rule... I’m learning to play the game.

    What I Post (and How I Keep It Manageable)

    I post just once a day, Monday through Friday. No weekends. That’s it.

    My content rotates through three categories:

    1. Trend-Based Posts

    Not dancing. Not chasing virality.
    Just using trending audio or formats to talk about life as a voice actor. Red flags. Weird specs. Behind-the-scenes stress. Stuff people relate to.

    2. Original Content

    This is where I share warmups, workflow tips, gear recs, or things I wish I knew when I started out.
    The more specific, the better.

    3. Personal Stories

    No life-overhauls or tearful confessions.
    Just honest stories from inside the booth: bombing auditions, almost quitting, learning the hard way.
    Those posts? They connect deeply.

    A Weekly Posting Roadmap

    If you want to try it out, here’s a simple structure:

    • Monday – A trend or audio reworked for your niche

    • Tuesday – Respond to a question or comment

    • Wednesday – Share a personal or client story

    • Thursday – A POV sketch or observation

    • Friday – Tips or encouragement for beginners

    Repeat. Tweak. Evolve based on what’s resonating.

    Use Your Analytics

    TikTok gives you free data.
    Look at what people are watching all the way through, saving, or sharing—and lean into that.

    Kill what’s not working. Keep what is. Don’t overthink it.

    This isn’t about being viral. It’s about being valuable.

    Profile Tips to Help You Get Hired

    You don’t need a perfect feed. But your profile should make sense to someone new:

    • Clean, recognizable photo (not necessarily a headshot)

    • Bio that says what you do and what kind of content you make

    • Link to your site or lead magnet

    • Keep your vibe real. Show up as yourself.

    Don’t hide your mic. Don’t over-filter. You’re not selling a brand. You’re being a person.

    What If You’re Not Using TikTok?

    That’s totally fine.

    But then ask yourself: Where are your future clients going to find you?

    Instagram? YouTube? Discord? Email?
    Wherever you plan to show up, you need a strategy.

    And if you’re not going to show up at all? Then you need a different kind of strategy.

    Need Help? I’ve Got You.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck about how to grow your VO presence online—let’s talk.

    You can always reach me through mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com, or DM me on TikTok at @astoriaredhead.

    I’d love to see what you’re creating.

    Because we’re not just growing followers.
    We’re growing careers.

  • Episode 345: Shifting Your Momentum with Stephen Ridley

    Episode 345: Shifting Your Momentum with Stephen Ridley
    Jul 16 2025
    How to Change Your Momentum When You’re Stuck as a Creative If you’re an artist or creative who feels stalled—like you’ve hit a wall in your motivation, progress, or passion—you’re not alone. Whether it’s burnout, fear, comparison, or just plain fatigue, creative momentum can vanish without warning. And getting it back? That can feel impossible. But here’s the good news: momentum is a choice. Not something that magically returns when the conditions are perfect—but something you can actively create, even in the mess of real life. In this week’s Acting Business Boot Camp podcast episode, I spoke with Stephen Ridley, musician, speaker, and founder of Ridley Academy, about exactly that. What unfolded was a deeply personal and practical roadmap for any artist who wants to stop stalling and start moving forward again. What Does It Mean to “Change Your Momentum”? Momentum isn’t about working harder. It’s about shifting the energy underneath your decisions. According to Stephen, the way we talk to ourselves—our internal attitude—shapes what happens next. He calls it the self-fulfilling nature of mindset. “Both negativity and positivity become self-fulfilling prophecies,” he says. “And both are equally available.” In other words, what you expect tends to be what you get. So if you’re expecting things to be hard, slow, or pointless… they probably will be. But here’s where this conversation gets interesting. Stephen doesn’t suggest “faking” positivity. He actually recommends the opposite. Step 1: Stop Resisting Your Mood When you’re stuck in a low state—feeling anxious, apathetic, overwhelmed—the worst thing you can do is pretend you’re not. Instead, lean in. “I’ll play piano in apathy,” Stephen says. “I’ll let myself feel lazy. I’ll turn up the volume on the feeling until I get bored of it. That’s when the momentum shifts.” When you stop resisting how you feel and start actively creating it, you take back control. It’s no longer happening to you. You’re the one creating it. That awareness is where movement begins. Step 2: Ask the Question That Changes Everything Once you’ve moved through the feeling—not skipped over it—there’s a simple question Stephen recommends to create forward momentum: “What can I do for you?” Not just you, the person in front of you. But you in the broadest sense: the audience, the community, the world. This question flips your attention from inward to outward. It connects you to purpose. It anchors you in service. And for artists, that’s everything. Because the role of the artist, as Stephen beautifully puts it, is not to collapse into the emptiness of life—but to provide the antidote. The Trap of Creative Victimhood So many creatives are unconsciously stuck in a victim mindset. Waiting for permission. Hoping to be chosen. Scared to make the wrong move. But as Stephen says, the longer you wait, the more you stall. And stalling, while it may feel passive, often comes with a payoff: you don’t have to take responsibility. That’s the truth most people don’t want to hear. But the moment you reclaim that responsibility—without shame or blame—you begin to unlock the creative momentum you’ve been craving. Final Thought: You Don’t Have to Wait The most successful creatives aren’t necessarily the most talented. They’re the ones who know how to take action even when things aren’t perfect. They’ve learned to choose positivity without needing to feel it first. They know how to get out of their heads and back into service. Stephen’s message is simple, but profound: “You don’t have to find momentum. You can create it. And it starts with one decision.” Want to Practice This Work?
