Have you gotten crappy pilot season material?

If you think that material is beneath you, think again.

Ask yourself: How can I elevate this to the level of humanity? What can I do to help?

This shift in perspective gives you the beautiful opportunity of ARTISTIC GENEROSITY.

Drop “I will focus on the work!” in the comments if you commit to this! ⬇️ . When you focus on the work and not on booking, that’s when you can move past fear + people pleasing patterns, when you’re not worried about getting the job and only concerned with telling the story in a powerful, personal way. . Replace people pleasing with empowered choices. Replace desperation with soul-driven purpose. . . . . . . #bgbstudio #actorslife #auditions #pilotseason #castingcall #laactor #castingdirector #actorsofinstagram #thursdaythoughts #empoweredactors @risabg

Here’s the truth, actors. There IS NO QUICK FIX
Here’s the truth, actors. There IS NO QUICK FIX to this Industry. No one night, one class, one teacher, one audition, one hack, that will give you the “answer” or result you’re looking for. . “For us, in class and in the casting process, it’s really all about meeting actors in the work, being in the flow of it, figuring it out together, and doing it [the ongoing work itself] a lot, consistently, and for the sheer love of it.” - @risabg . You have to be in and of the work. All the time. Nothing else works. . . . . . . #bgbstudio #bgbactor #actorslife #laactor #losangelesactor #actingclass #auditions #actorsofinstagram #artistsofig #contentcreators #filmmakers

Yesterday made cinema history with @parasitemovie
Yesterday made cinema history with @parasitemovie and Bong Joon Ho sweeping the Oscars and making Parasite the first foreign language film ever to win Best Picture. Whatever you think of the awards, this is a moment of inspiration, change, and international unity for artists and filmmakers. Bong said: “When I was young and starting in cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart which is, 'The most personal is the most creative.’ That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese." - - So... Let’s get to work. Let’s do the work we love and yes, get personal. Let’s keep coming back to the heart of why we do this and do it all the time. It’s our true north. - - - - #oscars2020 #bongjoonho #parasite #academyawards #oscars #actorslife #bgbcommunity #scorsese @theacademy @parasitemovie

The actors (and filmmakers) nominated for awards tonight don't do this for the awards. _ They don’t do this for fame and fortune. _ They do this because they love to act and to make movies 🎥 _ Because they value human connection. _ Because they want to tell stories that matter. _ It’s okay to dream, but keep yourself grounded in action. Love the journey and the process MORE than the idea of winning an award. Or wishing you were on the podium. _ That’s the type of mindset that builds a career people can’t help but notice. _ That said — let the Oscars INSPIRE you. What work inspired you this past year? Was it something you made yourself? Was it a little indie that blew your mind? Was it a performance that renewed your commitment to your artistic path? Let us know below 👇🏻 - - - - #oscars2020 #oscars #academyawards #bgbcommunity #liveyourdreams #makeyourluck #dothework #actingclasses #actorslife #hollywood

👇 Drop “Yes!” if you concern yourself with
👇 Drop “Yes!” if you concern yourself with these things in the audition room. _ Forget all the things you think you SHOULD be doing. That doesn’t serve you. _ Just focus on THE WORK. Consistent practice gives you the power to make the casting room (or self-tape) your home. We see it work all the time. It’s at the core of everything we do. Explore your power in the work; see our link in bio to find your perfect class fit for your ongoing practice. . . . . . . . #bgbstudio #bgbactor #actingstudio #actingclass #improvclass #actorslife #losangelesactor #laactor #improvacting #auditions #pilotseason #casting #castingcall @risabg

Whether you’re auditioning every day or not goin
Whether you’re auditioning every day or not going out at all, Pilot Season is full of emotional landmines. It’s fraught with expectation, self doubt, + comparing yourself to everyone else. _ While in actual fact, it's nothing more than 6 weeks or so of hyper-activity during which artists, technicians + executives try to make better TV than the streaming platforms can; it can feel like it’s life or death. It’s not. _ To find success this Pilot Season, calm the frustration, and be a whole happy artist, you have to force the focus back to the power of your creative spirit, back to your acting work. You must lean EVEN HARDER into the deep, consistent, ongoing practice of your craft. _ Cultivating your artistic practice ensures that whenever the Industry calls, your mind is right, you’re focused on the work + you're in the kind of championship shape required to be great. . . . . . . . #bgbstudio #bgbactor #actingclass #actingstudio #pilotseason #auditions #casting #losangelesactor #laactor #artistsofig #actorslife #actorshelpingactors @risabg
