#57.5: break*through - a queen does not rush… (trailer)
Manage episode 342999807 series 2924432
Welcome back to break*through! We're beyond excited to bring you another session from our new series under THE IDEALISTS. roster.
In today’s session, you’ll get to hear Marilyn’s breakthrough. Marilyn is a seasoned character actress and writer for stage and screen known for her rich, grounded portrayals of Latin women. A graduate of NYU’s prestigious acting program, Marilyn is transitioning from a number of successful supporting roles working alongside iconic performers Morgan Freeman, Jane Lynch, and Parker Posey to a larger role on the Tyler Perry show All the Queen’s Men. It’s a huge shift in how she presents herself in meetings, on set, and even in her own self-talk—one that’s leaving her feeling anxious and intimidated as she now tries to navigate stepping into more complex leading roles.
Marilyn is working with one of our phenomenally energetic coaches Alicia Dara. Alicia is a nationally recognized speech and presentation coach who has helped thousands of people including CEOs, Global VPs, Executive Directors, and Presidential candidates find their Power Voice, and put it to work. Her clients include Microsoft, Amazon, Kimpton Hotels, Planned Parenthood, The National Women's Political Caucus, Facebook, Merrill Lynch, and Twitter. Her most popular course helps women strengthen their voices and clarify their personal messaging—exactly what Marilyn needs right now on her journey to becoming a leading actress.
In this episode:
- Alicia leads off by working with Marilyn on her “Personal Power Pitch”—a living document for that defines her superpower and provides a north star for how Marilyn wants to be perceived when walking into a room.
- Next, Alicia dives deeper into the four pillars of public speaking: pacing, volume, enunciation, and clarity, and together she and Marilyn rehearse and refine Marilyn’s personal power pitch and set a practice schedule.
- Alicia then relates a piece of critical wisdom about how Marilyn can redirect unwanted attention or flirtation when it comes to people’s reception of her appearance and how to kindly refocus the conversation back on the project without creating undue conflict.
- Lastly, Alicia advises Marilyn on how to discern and read the room and modulate how much of her story she shares. There are some projects where her heritage and journey will be valuable and other times where she’s going to feel the need to protect that story and redirect the conversation. She has full permission to set her boundaries as she sees fit.
