On this special episode of Easy A, we're joined by artist, actress, and one of our best friends Jordyn Denning. Jordyn opens up about her journey into acting, including why she was first drawn to the craft, and how she's learned to cultivate the confidence to take on challenging & emotional roles.

We cover a wide range of topics around the artistic and spiritual side of acting: from building compelling characters, to navigating the audition process, to tackling intense emotional scenes. Jordyn offers insights on how she's learned to fully inhabit a role without losing her own sense of self.
