That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse TIANA OKOYE: Lessons from Broadway to 'Twisted Metal'
Get ready for an electrifying conversation with actress Tiana Okoye, whose performance journey spans from the UCLA musical theater program to Broadway, to the high-octane world of Peacock's Twisted Metal. In this episode, we explore Tiana's incredible resilience, including the "humbling" moment her first major tour contract for Sister Act was terminated due to vocal nodules and how she pivoted to find success at Tokyo Disney and on Broadway in The Cher Show. You'll hear the "nitty gritty" of her audition process, from meticulously writing subtext in notebooks to manifesting a series regular role with a simple sticky note. From her intensive Broadway training to bringing the iconic video game character "Dollface" to life, Tiana shares what it truly means to "fail big" and find self-confidence in an industry that rarely offers handholding.
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Tiana Okoye right here.
