Maddie McGuireHOST
What do you love about auditions? What is your favorite part about supporting actors through your coaching?

Corey CliffordGUEST
So I personally love auditioning because I'm like, oh, this is my chance to like get to act as like basic as that sounds.

Corey CliffordGUEST
Like I had an audition like last night where I had to be like on a spaceship or something.

Corey CliffordGUEST
And it's like, not even like that big of a role, but I'm like, okay, how can I make this like feel like that? And the sound, and that I think is a fun part of self-tape is I understand the stress of like, well, now we have to be cinematographer and the lighting and all of that.

Corey CliffordGUEST
But I'm kind of like, yes, that just is what it is now for some, you do, you do.

Maddie McGuireHOST
When you kind of zoom out and look at your career, Corey, because we're kind of talking about permission slips and when we've needed help to sign them, is there ever, when you look back at your whole career, an uncomfortable action or a difficult action that you had to take? It was like a necessary evil that you had to take and it led to either one of your greatest career results or a lesson that you needed to learn in your career?
