At some point you'll have to ask yourself, do you just love acting, or do you love pursuing a professional acting career?  This week Charlie has a conversation with his former student Isha Blaaker, who has answered this question. Isha talks about what he learned working with Tyler Perry, and his incredible experience bringing to life Allison Davis in Ava DuVernay's newest film Origin, based on the acclaimed book Caste, by Isabel Wilkerson. Charlie and Isha also discuss how to manage nerves, how to handle emotional material, and the invaluable insights you can only learn on a set. It's a wide ranging and inspiring conversation on what it takes to live the life of a professional actor. You can follow CBP on Instagram @creatingbehavior, and Charlie's NYC acting conservatory, the Maggie Flanigan Studio @maggieflaniganstudio. Theme music by  https://www.thelawrencetrailer.com.
