    market research *part 1* step by step with extra info sources! + actor/life priorities + footage vs self tapes

    The concept of Market Research isn't new at all and I am the last person to get on board because frankly, I needed a process. It felt so unclear and never-ending...what's filming, who's being cast, and where I fit in. This episode kicks off a two-part mini course breaking down exactly how to research in a digestible and tangible way, no matter where you are. We're talking: How to clarify your market: your city, your region, and what you're actually pursuing right now Where to find what's currently in production (including free and low-cost resources) Building a master list of projects and why keeping notes is non-negotiable How to study supporting roles Using IMDB Pro and Actors Access together Part Two will get personal and help you find yourself in the data. For our Q&A: First, a real answer to Willow's question about navigating career momentum while caring for a family member who is nearing the end of life. Then, Lauren asks how to update her reel and materials as a broke actress who's been doing mostly theater and wants to break into TV and film.

    150. Dealing with Success, the Rising Cost of Acting, and Grief with Audrey Moore

    Audrey Moore from Audrey Helps Actors is BACK! She was last with us on One Broke Actress for the Premiere of Season 5. Many of you may know her from her own podcast, where she seeks to give information, inspiration, and camaraderie to actors everywhere of all levels. She can also be seen staring in several Emmy nominated shows such as Dopesick, Better Call Saul, Godless, and Feud. She loves nap time, making her own clothes, and eating at Chilis. As proud as she is of her life's work, she owes most of it to her husband who is a patient man. In this episode, Audrey and I get real about the ups and downs of this industry, the intense amount of work required from us as actors, and how she navigated her career while processing a lot of grief at home. 02:12 — How Audrey's Pandemic Went 03:48 — Working While Grieving 06:28 — Booking Dopesick 08:50 — Audrey's Process for Handling Emotionally Demanding Roles 13:05 — The Pressures of Growing Name Recognition 18:27 — Auditions & Self Tapes 23:38 — Time, Energy, and Money for Bigger Audition Opportunities 30:20 — Audrey's 2022 Day-to-Day Schedule 32:41 — AD: Cast Away Cancer with Castability @castability.actor 34:52 — Why Actors Quit the Industry & What Kept Audrey Going 40:52 — Taking on Negotiating Power as an Actor 44:04 — Good Reps & Finding Community 51:19 — Loving the Hard Work 55:20 — Audrey Helps Actors 58:23 — Audrey When It's Slow 1:01:10 — Where to Find Audrey Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Audrey's personal IG, @audreyscoresmoore Follow Audrey Helps Actors on IG AudreyHelpsActors Website Abundance Bound with Miata (Listen to her ep with Audrey here) SAG-AFTRA Official Podcast Cast Away Cancer with Castability Hosted by Jessica Sherman, CSA and Friends -------- Want more?

    how to build an acting career | ACTOR TIPS ON NOT GIVING UP, BUILDING A CAREER, AND THE ARTIST LIFE

    What. A. Year. We have been through it, and I am so honored to have you all tuning along every step of the way. This is the season finale for the One Broke Actress Podcast in 2024, and I am walking you through the three main things that I think everyone needs to keep in mind as they start to build ‘an acting career for themselves. I tell you why I think we all need to maintain our passion for the work, to have perseverance, and to accept the long journey ahead. As artists, we need to constantly be seeking inspiration, and keeping a beginner's mindset, and planning for financial stability, and adjusting our expectations. It’s a lot, but it will be so worth it because it will help you stay in the game for a lifetime. If you’ve been waiting for a sign not to give up, this is it. During the weeks where I am processing what to do in 2025 for all of you, I’m also leaving you with my 'teaspoon of hope' theory that I hope helps you as much as it has me. Let me know in the comments down below or on the @samvalentine Instagram what you want to see more of.

    217. Working Actor Life: Learning to Pivot, Local Hires, and How the Industry Has Changed

    Gabrielle is now my roommate and you can be sure to let Caleb and Corey know. No, but really, we have spent a LOT of time together recently and we wanted to sit down together and really get into how living with each other has given us brand new perspectives on the industry. We have each gained a better appreciation for truly how different actor’s lives can be. We are going into how we view each other’s individual journeys, our varying audition experiences, and the realization that smaller acting roles can still significantly contribute to an actor's career. That’s right: we are in a market that now values career expansion over leveling up, and if you don’t know what we’re talking about, then listen through all the way to the end and you’ll know exactly what we are probably going to be seeing in 2024 and beyond.
