If you’ve ever wanted a podcast to learn from the stars and get the best masterclass tips and tricks for launching your own career, you’ve come to the right place!
Daniella: “At the end of the day, we are all just fans of entertainment.”
We love and appreciate all our listeners and followers on social media, and we received some incredible fan plot theories for Zombies 5. So many of you sent in so many awesome story ideas. From MK turning into a mermaid, to the Sirens tricking Victor into falling in love with them and Nova saving him with true love’s kiss, and even a Descendants x Zombies mashup, the Zombies writers should take note!
Mordechai: “I would love a Descendants and Zombies mashup, that would be so amazing.”
If you didn’t get the chance to submit something, we are going to post another opportunity on our socials, giving you the chance to submit even more fan theories!
So many of you commented Zombies 5 fan theories that included mermaids, and speaking of mermaids, Daniella also puts Mordechai to the test by seeing how well he knows his young entertainment mermaids! How well would you do?
We also chat through all things that are trending, including Hilary Duff, who has new music coming out! As massive Lizzie McGuire fans, we are so nostalgic.
And even though Halloween may be over, we deliver you a masterclass moment about when it is the best time to wear a costume to an audition. Daniella says the more a casting director can envision you as a character the better, so choose three things that you can wear on an audition day to feel the part. Even if it’s just a type of shirt, a specific shoe or even just an accessory, make the casting director not be able to see anyone else in the role!
Daniella: “Choose to wear three things that make you feel like the character.”
Young Entertainment’s own reporter, Lauren Smolka, also had the chance to interview Jonathan Bennett, host of the Hallmark reality series Finding Mr. Christmas, which is currently in season 2. The Mean Girls star hosts a fresh 10 men as they compete in a series of festival challenges in hopes of booking a leading role on the Hallmark Channel.
This was one of our favorite interviews ever, as Jonathan reveals his top tips for aspiring actors and the importance of getting out of your own way, what he learned from hosting the show, and his favorite off camera moments. Check out Finding Mr. Christmas on Mondays at 8/7c on the Hallmark Channel!
Mordechai: “He was very direct and he knew what he felt was right.”
