On Showing Up with Spencer Martinez

Spencer Martinez, a South Jersey native with a love for Musical Theatre, earned her BA at FDU, becoming the first in her family to graduate. After backpacking through Europe, she kicked off her career with an Off-Broadway production in NYC. Adapting during COVID, she founded the LimeLight platform, providing accessibility and education to the industry.

Recently booking UGC for various companies and the NYC based "Moving UP" workshop, she not only strives for her own comeback but consistently gives back to the industry that fuels her passion. From a log cabin to Manhattan, Spencer's journey epitomizes resilience, creativity, and a commitment to community in the ever-evolving world of musical theatre.

In today’s episode, ⁠Spencer Martinez⁠ shares her experience with sexual harassment and how it influenced her ability to show up to auditions, what needs to change for both non-union and Equity performing artists, and how she learned to not make decisions based on fear.

She also discusses how “The Artist’s Way” led to a profound personal and professional realization and the steps that led to building confidence including switching voice teachers, using affirmations, and writing her “morning pages.”
