The Industry will be forever different going forward.

The Industry- for the most part- is still in flux, as it returns, and will be changed for a very long time. You have a unique opportunity right now to be inside (and ahead of) the change that is happening- as everyone in the Industry begins a new way of working.

In that, ask yourself…

Are you at the top of your game? Are you able to walk into an audition or self-tape, and onto set with ease, confidence, and freedom, being fully YOURSELF? Are you finding deep emotional connection in your work? Are you working with all cylinders firing? Are you bringing artistic leadership to all aspects of your career?

The Advanced MasterClass is an essential 8 week intensive taught by Risa Bramon Garcia (director, casting director, producer, teacher of 40 years) along with other BGB Master Teachers, who will guide you to your boldest, most personal and authentic self, creating space for you to make your most truthful choices in your preparation, in the virtual audition space, in your self-tapes, and in work you create yourself… doing the kind of work it’s going to take to move Industry creatives NOW. Everything right now is happening on camera and/or in a virtual setting, so you have to get right with that. And the great news is that we are seeing the most beautiful work being done by actors and writers, and filmmakers in this new arena, work that is personal, courageous, and deep.

Your work together in this class is to unearth your distinctive voice as an actor (and more), to practice presence, to allow YOU to be fully seen, to understand the Industry NOW, and to deeply affect your audience, no matter the genre, the room, the circumstance — and come back to the joy of the work you love!

What works here works everywhere.

The Advanced MasterClass introduces you to a whole new way of experiencing your acting practice.

This class is not an audition ABC, nor does it give you any tips and tricks. Rather these 8 weeks blur the lines between your unique artistry and the often paralyzing confines of the audition process, the new virtual platforms, and the “perceived” Industry (then, now, and later). In these 8 weeks you begin to let go of old ways and to stretch beyond your comfort zone. In challenging yourself and each other to show up fully each week, you start to embrace the wonderful, messy humanity of every relationship in any scene. You get to claim your voice, your courage, and your artistic authority- with ease, authenticity, and leadership! You connect the joy in your practice with technology and the Industry, and lead with artistic power!
