You’ve sacrificed so much for the pursuit of an acting career.

You’ve invested so much energy, time and money to get the industry to see you, consider you, hire you. But it still often feels like guess work or like you’re hitting walls. You’re still trying to climb your way higher but you don’t know how. You want to know how to crack the Industry, have powerful people advocate for you, hire you to work for them, and then hand you awards for that work. We get it. And we want that for you!

AND- the business has changed, and you have to change with it. You have to show up in ways that will disrupt the norm, and grab the attention of everyone in the Industry looking to YOU for leadership.

The Business of Acting is an intensive 8-week class, guided by Risa Bramon Garcia, with Steve Braun and a group of fantastic Industry guests who are authorities in their field- including an agent who loves actors and his job, a social media expert who knows her stuff, an actors’ empowerment leader who walks the walk, and actor/creators who have changed their careers. Together we will marry the full force of your talent with the business of acting.

In The Business of Acting we will demystify the Industry.

You’ll be privy to the inner workings of the business, along with the mindset of Industry professionals- and it may not be what you think. Risa will walk you through all elements of your career, introducing you to a new way of looking at your creative tools. From there we will look at how to engage with the Industry as authentically and effectively as possible. We’ll tackle marketing, social media, your approach to the “gate-keepers,” what agents and casting directors are really looking for, self-tapes, your relationship with money, and creating your own work so that you can wholly establish your place in the Industry by being the disruptive force that leads. And we will create a plan for the future.

We will mine that which is uniquely remarkable about you, what you have to offer, and how you can move from scarcity to abundance in owning your self-worth and talent! After all, YOU ARE your BUSINESS!

You will engage in practical exercises and actionable steps to put you on the path to the career you want and deserve!
