"Thank you for being champions of our well being. Thank you for being so honest with people about what pursuing a career as an actor and artist entails so that we can constantly remind ourselves why we are in it. Thank you for creating content that I am always excited to hear/see/read. Thank you for being such huge proponents of meditation and mindfulness, and teaching so many practical ways to implement it so that finding space within all the noise is doable and enjoyable. It’s been one of the most life changing things I’ve experienced in the last few years and it’s because of you that I went from talking about doing it to DOING it. Thank you for creating a safe space for actors to share their art and their struggles… Thanks for listening, for speaking up, and for being there, doing what you do. You have changed my career!"

"I’ve been a part of The BGB Studio for 4 years, and it is truly a different type of acting Studio. Risa and Steve always speak to the artist in such a direct and personal way. Never any of the guru talk, never buried in technique talk or acting tips, but a very empathetic point of view that helps bring awareness to the artist’s struggles not just within the Industry but within our daily lives."

"Risa was able to make me, an agent-less, essentially credit-less actor at the time, ask the question — Why not me? She recognized the artist in me, brought it out, and helped me never to be intimidated by external circumstances that have nothing to do with what we do as artists. It changed my career and my life."

"Risa and Steve have offered an explosion of empowering, liberating, compelling insight and information in regards to YOU Inc. Their nurturing guidance and heartening advocacy has inspired me to authentically and effectually take leadership and fully embrace the areas of my career - where I hold the reins. More importantly, ME. I now have a distinct, unrestrained excitement moving forward and I am fiercely grateful for every session with them. This work is undoubtedly invaluable and I strongly encourage every actor to Get. On. It."

"Working with Steve Braun is like finding out how to truly just BE. And it's from that spot that you feel comfortable enough to take risks and speak lines from the heart; it's how beautiful acting comes out naturally! This technique has helped me in life as well as in my ability to be a more truthful actor and book work doing so. Thank you Steve!"

"Through Risa’s coaching at The BGB Studio I have discovered what it truly means to be focused and centered. In a business in which your To Do List will never be complete, she has taught me to remain present in every moment and not worry about what is next while approaching the work with confidence and authority. My passion and love for our Industry has been reborn. Thank you, Risa!"

"Thank you Risa for reminding us that the only limits that exist are the ones we create for ourselves. It is invigorating, incredibly satisfying work all fueled by the heights you lift us to in our work and the pursuit of our careers. Thank you for caring, thank you for reminding us what is important, and thank you for spreading joy. Grateful is an understatement"

"I highly recommend The BGB Studio, in specific Risa Bramon Garcia and Steve Braun. They bring their unique personalities to help educate and motivate you as an actor. When I’ve asked others which acting coaches and career coaches are of professional caliber, I rarely receive specifics- it’s typically a general description with the clique mentality. After my own personal experience, I can say without hesitation, Risa and Steve are the following: 1) Offer advice based on your specific needs, 2) Caring and considerate, 3) Allow you to be yourself while offering constructive criticism to improve your abilities, 4) Trustworthy, 5) Enrich your soul with a good sense of humor, 6) Expect you to do the work, 7) Get to the point, 8) Allow you to ask questions without tearing you down, and 9) Won’t give up on you. If you want to know what makes a good teacher and coach, watch how they treat those who struggle. As long as you show up ready to work and connect, you will leave a much better actor."

"The BGB Studio changed my life. Like, in every way. My love for that space and Risa and Steve runs deep. The life-long relationships I take out of it, the personal discoveries, my podcast, my career, the dialogue I started with my artistic voice… Total gratitude."
