Ep. 60: How to Be Awesome - Answers to Your Burning Career Questions: Part 1

This is our 60th episode of The Acting Podcast 🙌 which is a big deal for us here at The BGB Studio. So welcome to #60, and How to be Awesome.

You ARE awesome.

Say that to yourself, maybe even in the mirror; try it! I AM AWESOME. Now let it land. Right in your solar plexus. It’s TRUE. And while this Industry may not see you in your awesomeness- now or yet or since whenever- it’s your job… your responsibility… your privilege… to step into the light. To let your awesomeness be seen. To keep coming back to your art, even though your mind may be screaming for Industry access.

We talk about how to be awesome in this episode, which translates as… how to own, express, and share your awesome gift, your awesome art, and keep doing it even when you think nobody is watching. Find out why that is your path to all narratives of success.

These are intense times; it has been intense for a while- over 5 years since the start of the pandemic. So how can you find peace, joy, and inspiration in your work right now, even if our Industry colleagues may not be paying attention. How can you lean all the way into your art and light up the previously unseen parts of your talent? Blow it all the way up!

We also get that you’re looking for answers. You want relief, hope, yes… validation, and a clear roadmap to booking work.

So in this episode, we answer a few of the urgent questions that come up in our coaching sessions in the quest to find the most effective pathway to connection with the Industry. Like…

How to have an amazing reel, how to gather (and yes, make!) footage that will make your reel undeniable…

How to have headshots that get you auditions…

How to get agents and managers to know you and sign you… and if you have reps, how to get them to pay more attention to you and get you opportunities.

There is SO much to discuss around these questions and we start to unpeel the onion here in episode 60, part 1 of this big conversation. We also have included our Career MasterClass: How to Get (and Keep!) an Agent (here & in our show notes) which we are offering you FREE. So grab it, watch, listen, and join us for a 1:1 Coaching session and for Class!

Also… send us your burning questions! We want to hear from you so we can address them for Part 2 of: How to Be Awesome: Answers to Your Burning Questions.
