We love Stanley. Risa’s known him for decades, and we speak the same language. The only thing we differ on is that “you either have talent or you don’t.” We believe that every single artist has talent, but it’s how we trust, grow, and honor our talent that matters. How we spend time on it. The rest is gold! It’s how we work on talent at BGB. Thanks Stanley, we love you ❤️🙌 @stanleytucci @happysadconfused @joshhorowitz @risabg #bgbstudio #actorslife #acting #stanleytucci #actingstudio

If you’re looking for abundance as an actor, you already have everything you need to create it. This Industry will hand you a thousand ways to measure yourself: callbacks, credits, reviews, numbers, followers. Who’s booking, who’s winning, who’s buzzing. And before you know it, you start believing there’s not enough to go around. Not enough roles, not enough recognition, not enough space for you. And when you’re working from a place of scarcity, everything becomes about proving, achieving, getting picked… and the success you’re chasing never comes. (Or even if you do have success, it feels empty.) But you didn’t get into this for the accolades or the red carpets. Although sure, accolades are great! And you were never meant to work from a place of fear, comparison, and the constant feeling that you have to prove your worth. It’s time to return to your calling, your need to express, uncover, feel, imagine, play, reveal… Because that’s where true abundance is. That’s what feels amazing. Abundance is creating. Creating is abundance. And when you dive back into the work… - Return to that scene that cracks you open…? - Spend time with a character that shows you something true about being human…? - Connect with another human who makes you feel deeply alive, on the magic carpet ride of acting…? …abundance springs from there. Comment ABUNDANCE to stop chasing the Industry for approval, and start feeding the artist in you, the artist who was lit up in the first place. And feel the abundance. 🙌 #bgbstudio #actorslife #actingstudio #creative #artistlife

Let’s keep coming back to: simplicity, specificity, personal investment, emotional connection, letting go of playing an idea or something planned and controlled. Let’s instead have an intimate, truthful, specific conversation in the scene. In real time. Wholly invested- from your own specific and, yes… personal experience and point of view. Trust your impulse and what you know to be true, and express your unique, authentic voice in the world of the play and the character’s circumstances. Know what you must get, what you care about in the story... deeply... even in… especially in… a comedy or a procedural. Open the crucible of vulnerability, and from there... take action. So you can reach to another human being, another character, with that? Know what you want from that specific relationship. Fight for something... there is always something specific to fight for. Sometimes these practices get lost. Let’s keep coming back to them to bring us back to it really counts, what really grounds every single audition. Let’s remember this work and work on this work. So if you’re craving any of this, join us in class. It’s where it happens 😊 Our Spring 6 & 8 week classes kick off this weekend! Starting with the Advanced Audition MasterClass with Risa, along with Sydney & Cate 🙌 this Saturday, May 9th! The class is almost full, so comment SELF-TAPE to sign up for one of the last spots! #bgbstudio #selftapes #actorslife #acting #auditions

You’re invited, included, and loved. BGB is about sharpening craft, building career, making excellent self-tapes, finding your confidence, your authority, your voice, working on the work, and getting really good at it until you become undeniable. But that work is never done alone. At our core, we are a community. Our work is done in concert with each other. We all thrive on building deep connections among artists, we offer space for actors to step into work that is freer, bolder, more honest, and inclusive. A space where you get to surprise yourself and realize just how much brilliance you already carry, how distinct, powerful, and compelling your voice really is. So yes, that means you too 🫵 We invite and include you. We witness this awakening together. We support and challenge each other. We grow alongside each other and cheer each other on! Now, even with (especially with) the weight that hangs over us in the world, in our country, our Industry, we invite you to step out of isolation, out of fear, out of resignation. Even simply out of what’s become comfortable. Be brave and step into this collaborative work. We can’t wait to welcome you. It will change the way you see your work and very likely the way you see yourself. #bgbstudio #actorslife #actingstudio #creativecommunity #actingcommunity
