On the Come Up with Kimberly Sanchez
The Journey Into Acting: Auditions, Commercial Modeling, and Poetry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Alicia Azahar, an actor, commercial lifestyle model, and poet, to talk about her journey from theater to on-screen work. She shares what she learned from her first shoots, the realities of auditions and callbacks, and talks through the mindset shift that helped her stop taking every no as a verdict. Alicia also shares self-tape habits that can help actors stand out and build confidence in the industry.
Beyond acting, Alicia opens up about how losing her mother at a young age led her to writing and poetry as an outlet for healing and self-expression. She shares the inspiration behind her book, Uninterrupted Thoughts, and how it became a way to encourage others through her experiences. We wrap up with a fun this-or-that game, what's next for Alicia, and where listeners can follow her work.
