You're an actor because you love it. Because it's fun! Because you can't *not* do it. But have you ever wondered why we're so damn stressed?
My name is Tony Rossi. I'm a mindset coach and guest expert for Backstage, helping actors see things differently with the things that make them stressed and overwhelmed so that you can focus on what matters.
Actor Problems is a self care podcast for actors that does just that.
And remember - we can be messy, actors, and still get the things we want.

IT'S CHRISTMAS!
The thing about the holidays is that everybody seems to be happy. But what if you’re not? What if you had high expectations and things didn’t go as planned? Or what if this year you’r…
You have big goals. You obviously want these goals to happen.
BUT - are you actually the type of person who believes that this is possible?

Ross Grant is #notperfect. He’ll always admit that part.
But what he’s especially vulnerable is how he spent his early 20s - drinking, going into work hungover, and hoping one day he’d just “make it”…
