On the first episode of Do It Again But Better for 2025, Jess chats to actor, acting coach, lecturer, improv-er, and owner of boutique acting studio Joy Studio, Emily Joy. An absolute wealth of knowledge on all things audition-related, Em shares some tales of her own experiences, including her very first audition as inspired by Britney Spears, how she came to eat apples on-screen for Human Error, and the journey that had everyone feelin' Fisky more than once.

Emily Joy (she/her) is a stage and screen actor. She recently played the role of Detective Constable Maia Kirsner across all six episodes of 'Human Error', a new crime drama streaming on Nine Now and Stan produced by Roadshow Rough Diamond. Emily also appears as Ally Pastecki in seasons 2 and 3 of the hit comedy 'Fisk' on ABC and Netflix. Emily originated the role of Jared in the play 'Trophy Boys' which enjoyed sold out seasons and five star reviews. Emily is also the owner of Joy Studio - a boutique acting studio based in Naarm. She helps actors book more work across Australia, the UK and the US.
