In this episode of the Soulful Ambition Podcast, Analisa Leaming returns to her roots of performing and sits down with colleague + friend, Broadway’s Denis Lambert. Their conversation is candid, raw, and will leave you itching to just do the damn thing, your art, that is. Analisa and Denis discuss Denis’ personal journey from dancer first, the challenges of auditioning, and the importance of community and collaboration in the arts. They explore the emotional rollercoaster that comes with auditions, the significance of authenticity, and the need to process emotions in the creative journey. The conversation also touches on strategies for successful auditions and the importance of staying true to oneself while navigating the industry.
