Brian Breaks Character

A couple of months ago the incredible acting coach, To Be Or Not To Act's Jo Kelly asked me to come on her IG Live to tell her students how to find managers and agents and the conversation that unfolded was sooooo juicy I simply had to make it into an episode of the podcast.

If you're an actor who needs representation this episode is a no-brainer: LISTEN. NOW.

After helping 542 actors sign with the right reps, I can't wait to tell you all about why my rebellious, new approach to make agents want you actually works.

If you're not an actor, this convo has a lot to teach you, too: I teach the exact mindset you need to really put YOURSELF out there and to say what you really want.

Jo is the perfect Oprah to my Deepak because she understands what it means to put yourself out there and she doesn't settle for fluff answers... – she grills me on why and how I've learned:

• A target list is the worst strategy you can use to find the right match
• Agents aren't worried about your credits half as much as you are
• Your reel is a giant waste of time and money
• Referrals are dangerous!!! – and a big, gross energy suck
• Diversity matters (amen and hallelujah!), but it's not a closed-door if your type isn't in high demand

I promise that you can apply what we talk about in this episode to getting what you want in any career.

P.S. If you've already watched my free training - Make Agents Want You - this conversation will take you backstage on how it all came to be (and I'll share the latest stats on how my students are doing reaching out to reps RIGHT NOW).

I am gleeful and proud to introduce you to one of my very best friends and today's guest on the podcast, Kate Tellers.

The Wall Street Journal calls her "a storytelling guru."

Kate is on the leadership team at The Moth – one of the preeminent storytelling organizations in this country – she travels the globe to teach the art of storytelling. Isn't that so cool?!?

Her past clients include some of the brightest non-profits in changemaking: International Women's Forum, Kellogg Foundation, Ashoka, and Melinda Gates, as well as companies like Spotify, Google, and the U.S. State Department.

There are a buttload of reasons why a big company like Nike would pair with The Moth to incorporate storytelling into their brand, but the big takeaway for Brian Breaks Character listeners: Storytelling can drive the bottom line for profit and impact.

I believe all creativity is storytelling and I believe this episode is one of our very best.

Kate does not hold back in this masterclass in storytelling:

• Surprise! Your aim in storytelling isn't to entertain, but to get the truth in your story
• Your story matters, no matter what… but it's gotta matter to you (my Agent Goals students know this all too well!)
• Bring a strong POV or no one cares, no one cares
• Kate walks us through her 3-step process to prep before telling a story or hosting a show
• How to get involved... there's probs a Moth StorySlam near you!

Storytelling is the heart of what we do as creatives and I just know this intimate and honest conversation will inspire you (oooooooooh, and listen til the very end to hear some off-the-record Kate-n-Brian chit chat that will def make you LOL)

Mia is a classically trained theatre actor who is now going to Juilliard. But before that, she was working tirelessly to break into the world of film and TV. Her lack of materials to submit to reps, made her feel as if she was never truly "in the game".

Then, while going through the process of reaching out to reps and learning to own where she was at this stage in her career, Mia was thrown yet another curveball and was accepted into Juilliard for grad school.

Navigating her conversations with reps around this topic of potentially leaving the audition pool for quite a few years turned out to be yet another layer in what made her unique!

CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS

• You DO NOT NEED TV credits to get in the door with managers and agents

• Mia's theatre training had her focused on "range", but figuring out her personal unique story was actually the gift that changed it all

• How early in your career, rep meetings can leave a scar on your actor-soul

• Finding confidence in who you are and what you bring to the table can help you find a long-term partner

With this How They Did It series, actors I'm talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.

And, we all know that having great representation makes that impact all that much more possible.

But let's not get it twisted – looking for an agent or a manager sucks. It's not straightforward, there are tons of people telling you the best-slash-only ways to do it, and it can leave you in a constant state of anxiety thinking to yourself – is this ever going to happen for me?

And that's why in this series of tell-all interviews with my agent goals students – you'll hear how they did it.

REMINDER: Each of these bonus episodes is very different because each of these actors wants different things from their careers: some want to be on Broadway, others have their sights set on tv and film, and still others are creators and want to land reps that are excited by that.

In this episode of Brian Breaks Character, Showrunner, Creator, and Actor, Paul Witten gives us a MASTERCLASS in putting yourself out there! I brought him on the show so you can see how relentless creativity (and not taking NO for answer) reallllllly pays off! Paul is the creator and showrunner of Dropping the Soap starring Jane Lynch. And Jane WON the Emmy Award for her role on his show.

But it wasn't all rainbows, lollipops, and big-name comedians… Paul heard NO a lot, but instead of letting the NOs bring him down, he transformed them into finding the right community of artists and supporters for his projects.

What I love about Paul (and I know you will too!) is that he leads with kindness. In this episode, Paul explains how he surrounded himself with like-minded individuals who wanted to get on board with his project because of HIS story and then was able to make his show happen WITHOUT ONE OUNCE OF CROWDFUNDING. He tells us how there are no rules in this business (you there in the back row, did you hear that?!?) and why vulnerability is the key to getting people to believe in (and invest in!) your projects.And beyond all that, Paul is a joy to talk to and I can't wait to introduce you to him. Paul is an inspiration and I hope that you learn as much as I did from this episode.TAKEAWAYS

• The power of NO and what you can learn from it
• Tell your personal stories and allow yourself to be vulnerable - That is how to get someone to be a part of your project
• Know your boundaries as an artist and what you need to protect and take care of yourself
• There are no rules

Paul Witten is an actor/writer/producer. He recently had the pleasure of shooting "The Comeback Trail", a feature film working alongside Robert DeNiro, Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman and Zach Braff, as well as a recent guest spot on Brooklyn 99. He also had a recurring role in the multiple award winning Apple+ series "The Morning Show", with Jennifer Aniston. Additionally, Paul created, co-wrote and stars opposite Jane Lynch in the Emmy winning comedy series, "Dropping The Soap", currently available on Amazon. Paul's most recent short film, "A Play", which he produced, co-wrote and stars in, is currently running the festival circuit having won numerous festival awards. Paul also just penned a half hour comedy pilot, "You Are Here", which he will begin pitching soon. Favorite Los Angeles theatre credits include; "The Goat Or, Who Is Sylvia" (Best Actor nominee, Ovation Awards), "The Woman In Black" (Best Actor nominee; LA Drama Critics Circle and Ovation Awards/ LA premiere); "The Brothers Karamazov" (Best Ensemble LA Drama Critics Circle, LA premiere).

Angel hit LA running back in the day. She landed reps fast and worked until... she realized she had no idea how to keep things going and she ultimately got burned out.

After taking a 12-year hiatus from the biz to work as an elementary school teacher, Angel realized she still had an actor itch to scratch… except she had no idea how to get back into things, how to submit to reps, or how to translate her years of experience and wisdom into meetings and finding her team.

Now after 15 meetings and 14 (!!) offers for representation, Angel is flying high and taking on the business with a whole new outlook in her self-proclaimed "3rd act"!

CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS

• VO, TV, whatever: Agents aren't worried about your credits half as much as you are
• How Angel created an actor accountability group and how it keeps her motivated
• The challenge of deciding amongst multiple offers
• How prayer was her big guidance in her process and her life
• What it really means to be a "good client" for your reps

With this How They Did It series, actors I'm talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.

IATSE voted 99% YES to authorize a strike.

And because union negotiations can be reduced to just that... "negotiations," it was important to us on the show to put the focus on exactly what we are actually talking about here: Human beings' well-being on set and in life.

So, on this episode of Brian Breaks Character, my guest is IATSE crew member Heather Fink. She works as a Boom Operator and Sound Utility and she joined me not as a formal representative of IATSE, but as a human being in the industry. In this intimate conversation, Heather openly shares her real-life experience as a "below the line" creative as we stare down this strike.

IATSE is asking for better pay for streaming service work; higher wages for coordinators and assistants on all productions; longer rest periods between shifts and on weekends; and strengthened requirements for meal breaks during marathon shoots.

So to be clear, it's not about pointing at "one bad person" it's about revolutionizing an industry that can too often make *the bottom line* more important than human experience.WHICH IS LITERALLY INSANE SINCE FILM AND TV-MAKING IS STORYTELLING … and storytelling EXISTS to connect us as humans.

In this episode, I put on my novice hat so I could ask Heather ALLLL the questions you might need to know about WHY this is so important and you'll learn precisely WHY as a fellow creative you'll want to take a stand with IATSE.This episode is dedicated to all the members of IATSE. We stand with humanizing this business. We stand with IATSE.

TAKEAWAYS

• IATSE crew is the engine that runs everything on a Film/TV set
• How the @ia_stories Instagram Account ​​helped Heather to take a pause and realize that after 11 years of working on film crews that it's not normal nor is it OK the conditions that IATSE crew members have been working under.
• IATSE has not had a strike since WWII, so over time members have lost things from their contract every time it's been negotiated.
• The YES vote does not mean there will be a strike, it means that IATSE has authorized a strike and can go back to negotiations with AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) with the hopes that will be enough.

You signed up for Actors Access and Casting Networks… And maybe you've got a Casting Profile on 3 other sites too! Maybe you even have reps submitting you in addition to submitting yourself…

And maybe it still feels like you're not getting enough auditions.

And the first place you MIGHT look is your headshots… or maybe your reel?

Did you ever stop to think that it could be your casting profile? WHAAAAAA?!?!?!? On this episode of Brian Breaks Character, Summer Mastain is back as my Guest Host and she's got me in the hot seat to talk about how the *panorama* means almost all your auditions are self-tapes and your actor business exists almost entirely online (...until you're on set).

How do you stand out? I share that you CAN actually data test your casting profile and take action from that place.

TAKEAWAYS

• About 93% of auditions are now self tapes
• Unless you are offer only - your reps use your casting profiles
• Your materials are good enough, it's your casting profile that needs the update

Now, if you want to learn exactly how to execute this test. I invite you to join me at my totally free, live masterclass for actors who want a clear and easy approach to get auditions. This casting profile test is just one of three things I will be teaching and I just can't wait to share them all with you.

There are three dates to choose from: September 16th, 18th or 20th.

Registration is now open: https://www.gimmegimmemoreauditions.com/
