In this online event, you will explore your It Factor, your character strengths, star qualities and what makes you (in the words of Brette!) "a Mutha%*#&in Unicorn." Let’s cut though all the BS and discover how to let your authentic voice emerge. Let’s go way beyond type.
When it comes to auditions, actors tend to ask themselves what the people behind the table want. The truth is that we are not always so sure of what we are looking for. For the actor, it’s an often unwinnable and totally unnecessary head game.
We want to see you...the character through your eyes, not what you think we are looking for, a disconnected idea of who the character is, or what "works for your type".
You are a human, not a type. Type is super limiting. Your unique perspective and story gives the role life! Let’s stop the madness.
We’ll explore:
- Truly being SEEN in the industry, and in your life
- How to bring your authentic voice to your characters
- Speaking your authentic truth and advocating for yourself in your work and this crazy industry
- How to build rapport, trust and connection with people in the industry
- How we change the world and ourselves for the better when we let ourselves be seen
Each actor will receive Brette's two cents about all that makes you beautiful, compelling and the kind of person we want to hire, to watch on our TVs, to drink a beer with (so to speak). The actor we want to watch. We will dig into what makes you shine on screen. And we will go way beyond type.Actors Connection provides readers for all events.
