In this truly insightful talk with the beautiful Socratis Otto we went deep early and covered so many interesting topics:

• Mental health, anxiety, trauma and inner child
• Highschool bullying
• His journey into acting, including NIDA
• The importance of saying no
• His journey through NIDA
• Tattoos and acting
• Learning about the audition process - developing film and tv discipline on the job
• Becoming an acting coach
• How the audition process has changed
• Advice for graduating actors
• Leaning into what you’re good at and exploring different hats
• Feature Film - The Flood and how Socs chooses a character
• Authentic Casting

This podcast wouldn’t be possible without the generous time of our guests, our producer Pete Dillon from Fearless Collective and The Roller.
