Episode 54: Molly Mahoney The Prepared Performer

Sep 11, 2017 | Auditions, Musical Theater, Social Media, Tips | 0 Comments

Molly Mahoney and myself both went to Chapman University and earned our BFAs in performance.

Many of us end up working flexible jobs like waiting tables, temp jobs, or babysitting.

Molly aimed to change that paradigm for herself. She found that when she shared her skills on social media, so many people outside of the industry loved her confidence in front of the camera and an audience and wanted to capture that same confidence for themselves. Any good performer knows to say yes to opportunities, so she did – and she’s built a thriving business from there.
