In this episode, Erica S. Bream (Altered Carbon, Star Trek Into Darkness, Echoes) and Cara Chute Rosenbaum (American Crime Story, The Mindy Project, The League) discuss the ups and downs of being actors in the industry. They held a Script Analysis Workshop with The Membership that was so good that I immediately enrolled in their Script Analysis Course. They are sharing knowledge I wish I would have known years ago, and I’m bringing that to you all in this episode. They share their experiences with casting auditions, navigating the post-strike landscape, and the importance of community and mental health. They also talk about what script analysis is, why it is so important, and why every actor needs to do the deep dive script analysis work on every audition they get. If you're an actor looking for guidance from the people who help us get our dream gigs, this is a must-listen.
