Eposide 2- The Interview Blueprint
In this episode, I’m breaking down how these interviews actually work—because a good conversation doesn’t “just happen.” I’ll walk you through my interview blueprint (the simple structure I follow every time), how I prep, and how I create a space where guests can be real—not performative.And yes: I’ll also be sharing some of the core questions I come back to in almost every interview. Not to make things scripted, but to give each guest a familiar runway—so we can get to the honest, behind-the-scenes stuff: auditions, nerves, rehearsal room reality, and the moments that remind them why they do this.What I’ll cover in Episode 2
The flow of a Voices of the Stage interview (start to finish)

Welcome to Voices of the Stage — a theatre podcast for the people who love the magic, but don’t always get to hear what happens behind it.In this very first episode, I’m introducing what this show is (and what it isn’t): long-form, honest conversations with actors and actresses from Broadway, touring productions, regional theatre, community stages, and beyond — told in a way that’s warm, accessible, and totally jargon-free. No gatekeeping. No “industry-only” vibes. Just real stories about auditions, rehearsals, nerves, weird backstage moments, and the deeply human parts of making theatre happen.I’ll also share how the interviews will work, the kinds of guests I’m looking for, and how you can help shape the show from day one.Have a guest suggestion or a question you’ve always wanted to ask a performer?
