Brian is truly one of the most beloved people in the ATL. As always Brian you bring out the best in everyone, thank you! Great show Tommy, bring Brian back 😉
I watched this and really liked it! I am in a let's say" Career change ". I read an article earlier about deciding what you love to do and then make money doing it. At 55 years old I went back to my younger dreams of being an actress..sigh..that never happened Lol 😆. I have always loved to make people laugh and I have been told on numerous occasions that I am entertaining and funny 😄. This makes me happy.. With my bank account slowly draining I thought, WHY NOT ME? Maybe? What do I have to lose? I am located in Knoxville, TN. John do you have any words of wisdom for me😀? Casting calls or Free agents? I can also play one heck of a mad crazy woman, Hee!🤷♀️
Brian, love, love, love your energy. Thanks for loving actors and having a passion for casting. We need more caring, upbeat, dedicated people like you. Looking forward to working with you in Atlanta one day! My motto has always been, smile, have fun, be wild and crazy! Ciao for now. Cynthia Brian in San Francisco.
OMG, this was incredibly eye-opening! From not ever sounding the same in different takes to closing your eyes and seeing what you are talking about in a scene - really seeing it, this is one of the best CD interviews I've listened to in a while! Thank you so much for the concrete actionable advice!!
Thank you so much for sharing this discussion. I love Brian's attitude and down-to-earth nature and found his advice really helpful. I almost wish I lived in Atlanta now too.
Fantastic advice, really. Talk about honesty! Bring your truth, let go in the room, have fun, and make your own stuff. I couldn't agree more. And stop taking selfies and do things for the good of humanity! haha love it.
GREAT stuff! Wish I watched this 72 hours ago... because I did almost everything he says NOT to do in my very first audition... and it was with HIM! LOL! It felt terrible to me so I can imagine how it felt for him. An hour later I thought of several things I'd have done differently... most of which is in line with what he's saying here. Hope I get another chance to be in the room with him again. Either way.. lessons learned!
It's a reflection of your character to look him up and learn the lesson. So hey, that's a major sign of grit. Future looks bright! Plus, we're all learning!
Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind comments! I love teaching actors and will be live on my Facebook page tonight 7PM ET sharing some acting knowledge from the casting director point of view! You can also join me in my online classes or book me for private coaching by going to BrianBeegle.com No matter what level you are, join me and we will have fun learning to stop 'memorizing' lines, but instead to tell the truth. It is much easier and more fun when you mean what you say on-camera. And it is not hard! :)
Great interview. Brian - great energy. I worked film & commercial in LA. Moved to OK for now. Considered GA but it sounds like it's non union, is that right? I work SAG-Aftra Union only. Thank you.
I totally understand it is a broad and easy thing to just say. But, practice a script with your eyes closed all the way through one time and see what you see. Did it help your 'truth'? I use tiny things like this to make sure people mean what they say on-camera. It is much easier to talk about what you mean and you see instead of memorizing the words. That is the truth I speak of. People lie in commercials. They think they are different than film/tv. They are not, they are all a story that you are in, and you must believe yourself make us believe you. :)
@@brianbeegle4835 How can we act if we don't find the truth in ourselves as it relates in to the scene and story? As you say, "Instead of trying to become the role, make the role me." Perfect. We can't BE someone else other than ourselves; we can only relate pieces of ourselves as they relate to the story, our PART in the story, that we're trying to tell. Love this.
Selfies stink. YES! in the ZOOM world, once you're logged on HIDE YOUR SELF VIEW. Get yourself out of the picture. Focus on the host, the other actors, and especially the reader for the scene.

Definitely true. Lovely person IRL.

Thank you Brian! Looking forward to sharing the space with you in the near future. Continued success!
So helpful. Lots of wonderful things to apply that make so much sense. Thank you so much. Gail from San Francisco.
Thanks so much for sharing this publicly, I love Brian's energy, his words of wisdom, and hey, he is making me want to move to Atlanta from London!
I was thinking the very same thing. Maybe I will move from London. :-D
Great advice! Can’t wait to meet you in person
I took a workshop with Brian and I learned so much! He is amazing! His feedback and redirection helped me so much! This was a great interview!

Six minutes in and I *might* have just heard the best advice yet...so grateful that I pressed play on this one. 🙏
Excellent interview - enjoyed this from Albuquerque!
Fantastic advice, really. Talk about honesty! Bring your truth, let go in the room, have fun, and make your own stuff. I couldn't agree more. And stop taking selfies and do things for the good of humanity! haha love it.
Thank you! I’ve learned so much. Don’t tell a story , know your story !thanks Brian!
Great video - excellent, practical advice! And beautiful sentiment at the end

Audit classes🥲?! I may actually be able to do this. THANKS.

No self tapes - how refreshing!

I hate when people talk about acting and start saying things about truth and telling the truth, blah, blah, blah... It's such a head trip.

@@brianbeegle4835 That's a great explanation. I guess "truth" is an unfortunate word to come into use.
