One Broke Actress Podcast OBA Bonus Podcast

The strike is over and the tentative agreement is here for us to vote on by December 5th. To give you all the most information I can during this voting period, I wanted to bring you tow special guests: Charlie Bodin and Kevin E. West, members of the SAG Negotiating Committee. You may know Charlie from Halt and Catch Fire (2014), Good Trouble (2019) and Hindsight (2015), while Kevin can be seen on The Righteous Gemstones, Hawaii 5-0, Criminal Minds, Bones, Castle, CSI: Miami, Justified, Leverage, Lost, 24, Desperate Housewives, NCIS, Alias, CSI, and dozens more. After 118 days in the negotiating room, they take us on a journey through the step-by-step process of the tentative contract and share their insights into the ever-evolving landscape of our industry. We’re getting a look inside the room where it happened, the gains won and the concessions made, especially as it pertains to AI.
As SAG-AFTRA members, it's crucial that we stay informed and participate in shaping our future. Let's come together, and make an educated choice, whether that leads you to a “Yes” vote or a “No” vote. Together, we can shape the future of our industry and protect the rights of all actors!

I am sharing my audio vlog of my stunt training workshop at JAM. I’ve been wanting to take a stunts class for a while and when this Stunts for Actors class popped up, I decided to hop on it so that!

Instead of waiting to book my big action film, I’ll be ready before I even get on set. It was a super challenging and eye-opening experience that pushed me to my limits, and I got to spend Monday-Friday with actual superheroes during one of the busiest weeks of my year.
I recorded daily video diaries in my car to give you a glimpse into the messy and exhausting reality of stunt training. ***Despite less-than-ideal audio quality because I recorded it in my car on the way to and from class,*** I hope you'll find it fascinating to see the day-to-day life of an actor in training.

And then in our Q&A section I am answering a question about being a moring person and waking up early/morning routines.

Gabrielle Byndloss is back for more candid conversations about our Working Actor Life. We dive deep into one of our most asked questions: how the heck did we get started on our side jobs?

It is starting to get chilly outside in Los Angeles. Yesterday, the clocks went back.
And this also means that the quote unquote happiest time of the year is well on its way.
And no, I do not mean the end of the strike. I mean the holidays. The push to end the year on some sort of high or upper or accomplished feeling is so large. So today we are going to specifically talk about not getting burnt out before the new year.
Plus our Q&A comes from Carrie who asks when is the best time to send thank you cards to casting and is it ever 'too much'.
Let's get into it...

Okay, I just got off the picket lines and had a crazy day filled with meetings and an audition and… I have a confession to make - I’m doing too much. But this is part of the gig, you guys, and the reality of being a multi-hyphenate is that there’s a lot of give and take. This week, I’ve gotta give on the pod. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let's just get through the day together.
