That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

In this episode, we're diving into the art of compression — how to walk into any audition, hit record on any self tape, and tell a complete, committed story in the small window you're given. We're also pulling back the curtain on week one of Self Tape May: Action & Horror. Using a real horror audition scene — drunk on a balcony, running through a theater, gassed, tied up, and waking up face to face with a killer — we break down exactly how knowing your frame can do the majority of the storytelling work for you, seamlessly connecting your tech and craft into one powerful system. Plus, find out how to get the What's My Frame course for FREE the moment you sign up. These are the tools that separate the actors who survive a scene from the ones who own it.

Get ready for an incredible journey from Korea to Hollywood with actress Kahyun Kim, whose path to success is defined by grit and vision. From navigating Juilliard to overcoming visa hurdles and building a career in her second language, her story is one of resilience and determination. She shares the hilarious "happy accidents" that shaped her journey—including a desk-humping audition that landed her a dream role and the moment her father crashed a high-stakes Zoom callback. After watching FRIENDS religiously growing up, Kahyun would tell herself every time she passed the NBC sign, "I'm going to be there one day"—and she made it a reality with her series regular role on NBC's St. Denis Medical.
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Kahyun Kim right here.
