Behind the Audition: Self-Tapes, Mindset & Booking Big Opportunities
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of On the Come Up, host Kimberly sits down with actor Aleshah Brown to discuss her path from starting in acting at a young age to booking commercials and a nationwide Cinemark spot. Aleshah shares how simplifying her self-tape setup, trusting her first instincts, and treating auditions as a place to play have transformed her confidence and results on camera. They get into a mindset, rejection as redirection, “booking the room,” and finding representation in LA and Atlanta that expanded her opportunities. For Aleshah, training, community, and balance are the foundation of her growth, along with clear goals for future roles in film and TV. This episode is packed with practical advice on self-tapes, audition strategy, and acting career development for actors and creators building careers from passion.
