In this episode, I dive into my personal journey of rediscovering acting after a 16-year hiatus. Becoming a mother shifted my priorities and led me down various creative paths, from blogging to painting, and even into jewelry and interior design. Yet, none of these pursuits quite filled the void left by acting. It took a serendipitous acting workshop to rekindle my passion for acting, prompting me to navigate the challenges of reestablishing a film career, especially as an American in Germany. I share my insights from this experience, emphasizing the value of holding onto dreams regardless of age, the necessity of continuous self-improvement, and the importance of fostering industry connections. Join me as I reflect on this journey back into the life of an actress, offering lessons that resonate with actors looking to reconnect with their passions. 00:00 Introduction: Rediscovering My First Love 00:09 The Journey Begins: Relaunching My Acting Career 00:31 The Struggle: Balancing Family and Career 01:07 The Search: Filling the Creative Gap 02:08 The Realization: Nothing Fills the Void Like Acting 02:28 The Past: My Acting Career Before Family 03:10 The Transition: Moving to Germany and Starting a Family 03:28 The New Normal: Finding My Groove in Voice Work and Moderation 05:05 The Desire: Wanting More from My Career 05:17 The Turning Point: Rediscovering Acting 08:15 The Rebirth: Reestablishing Myself as a Working Actor 10:42 The Lessons: Five Things I Learned 15:26 Conclusion: Never Too Old to Pursue Your Dreams ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

Defining Your Career Path: Acting Strategies & Understanding Your Energetic Signature This is how to set precise career goals, identify your 'energetic signature', and understand how you are perceived in the industry. It's really important to have specific goals, celebrate small wins, and understand your unique abilities as an actor. Your career is a journey and setting milestones along the way is part of reaching your goal. You have to manage perceptions, play to your strengths, and not be delusional about who you are and how others perceive you. 00:00 Introduction: Knowing Your Career Goals 00:47 The Journey Metaphor: Refilling Your Career Tank 01:20 Importance of Milestones in Your Career Journey 04:01 Understanding Your Unique Energetic Signature 05:24 Aligning Your Goals with Industry Perception 05:50 The Importance of Having a Career Strategy 06:09 Conclusion: Understanding and Shaping Your Career ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

This week on Act Bold I sat down with Masha Kay who is a nervous system and breath work coach who specializes in helping people find their flow. I had actually heard Masha speaking on another podcast completely unrelated to acting but found that I could apply, almost one-to-one, everything she was saying to the kinds of challenges that we as actors face. Masha provides a practical framework for understanding and managing our emotional and physiological responses in various scenarios -- things like auditions, networking events, and interviews with agents or casting directors. When you're aware of what makes you feel safe or threatened, you can control your emotional landscape better which, helps us more easily reach a state of flow when we need it and also leads to more controlled and nuanced performances. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️Find Anne:https://www.instagram.com/annealexandersieder/https://www.instagram.com/act_bold/Find Masha: https://www.instagram.com/mashakay/https://mashakay.com/ ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

On this episode of Act Bold, I dive into an incredibly inspiring conversation with New York actress Dahjn Marie Gomez. She's hitting the road with her powerful one-woman show, "I Am Not a Monolith," which explores what it means to be both African American as well as a woman told through they eyes of a series of created characters. If you've ever toyed with the idea of creating your own one-person show, this is the episode you can't afford to miss.We delved deep into the nitty-gritty of putting a show together and the ins and outs of booking it. And it didn't stop there; we tackled some hard-hitting topics like classism, colorism, body-shaming, and the profound need for acceptance. It was a conversation that opened my eyes in so many ways, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you.

In this episode of Act Bold, I talk with John Frank Levy, a four-time Emmy award-winning casting director, whose recent book, Right for the Role, tells the tale of his long and storied career. John has been influential in shaping our culture by casting iconic TV shows like 'ER', 'Shameless', and 'The West Wing’. We get into all sorts of interesting topics, from his intuitive casting style to the importance of art in the world, and even how a good “about me” video, or The Long Slate, as I like to call it, can be an extremely useful tool for actors and casting directors alike. John shared a few stories about casting actors in pivotal roles but throughout the conversation, the thing he stressed the most was the power of authenticity, self-awareness, and personal growth in an acting career. 0:00 John Frank Levey 01:12 Introduction and Guest Welcome 02:05 John's Journey into Casting 03:38 Transition from Theater to Film 06:27 The Art of Casting 08:13 Casting for Different Shows 12:10 The Role of Authenticity in Casting 20:47 The Evolution of an Actor's Brand 24:30 Casting for Diverse Characters 27:22 Different Perspectives and Personal Experiences 27:36 The Impact of Personal Beliefs on Relationships 29:04 Navigating Differences in the Era of Cancel Culture 30:11 Personal Anecdotes: Dealing with Political Differences in Family 30:32 Memorable Casting Experiences: The Human Face of the AIDS Crisis 33:19 The Role of a Casting Director: Beyond Main Cast 34:00 Reflections on the End of a Long-Term Project 34:56 The Power of Authenticity in Acting 37:02 The Importance of Art and Storytelling 38:42 Final Thoughts: The Role of Casting Directors and the Power of Authenticity ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

In this episode of Act Bold, I had a fantastic chat with Abby Tozer. She's an incredibly talented actress, producer, and filmmaker. While Abby definitely has a lot going on, what interested me most was how she leveraged a seat at one of the biggest film markets in the world, AFM (American Film Market) to parlay that into multiple options for her various film and tv projects. If you are an actor who also has their hand in production (and if you're not, you should) then this episode is going to blow your mind. Abby opened up about her experiences at the AFM, where she's been twice. She shared some really useful networking tips, how to introduce yourself in the industry, and the importance of always being prepared. Plus, she talked about how she goes about finding the perfect producing partner, the goals they set, the hurdles they've faced, and their exciting plans for future feature films. We also got into the nitty-gritty of creating a great pitch, took a peek into the film market scene, and had a heartfelt conversation about the ups and downs of life as a producer and actress. It was such an enlightening and fun discussion – you're going to love it! 00:00 Introduction and Guest Presentation 00:19 Understanding the American Film Market 00:56 First Experience at AFM 01:46 Roles in Film Production 03:55 First AFM Experience: Lessons and Takeaways 04:34 Preparation for the Second AFM 07:16 Navigating the AFM: Tips and Strategies 08:36 Networking and Building Connections at AFM 10:00 Understanding the Business Side of Filmmaking 12:46 Preparation and Research for AFM 15:46 Experiences and Insights from AFM 19:07 Strategies for Success at AFM 25:04 Advice for First-Time AFM Attendees 28:54 Future Plans for AFM 30:35 The Importance of Networking in Film Projects 31:14 Understanding the Dynamics of the American Film Market 31:47 The Art of Pitching and Selling Your Film 32:50 The Role of an Actor in the Film Industry 34:25 The Challenges of Being an Actor and Producer 34:34 The Strategy of Pitching a Film as an Actor 35:14 The Importance of Being a Producer in Film Making 38:01 The Role of a Filmmaker in the Film Industry 40:44 The Importance of Relationships in the Film Industry 44:23 The Art of Fundraising in Film Production 50:18 Finding the Perfect Production Partner 57:48 The Journey of Producing a Feature Film 59:26 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

In this video, I share my personal journey of relaunching my acting career after a 16 year hiatus when I was 47 years old. I didn't have any current material for my showreel or any industry contacts, but I still managed to become a working actor.

In this episode, I'm shedding light on the whole idea of 'blind spots' in an actor's career– you know, those tricky areas in an actor's journey that might be silently holding them back. We're breaking down the 8 most common mistakes actors make when it comes to their careers and, of course, I've got the lowdown on how to tackle each one. I get into "being ready," dealing with overwhelm, perfect timing, managing the craziness of busyness, overcoming perfectionism, booting indecision out the door, not turning small stuff into big dramas, and steering clear of those assumptions. And here's the real deal – we're not just talking concepts. I'm diving into real-world scenarios and dishing out some practical solutions you can put into action right away. This episode is all about giving you the inside scoop on these 8 Mistakes, with a big focus on shifting from external to internal criteria, swapping out the problem frame for the opportunity frame, and waving goodbye to past contexts in favor of the future. It's a journey of honesty with yourself and making those consistent, proactive efforts to not just survive but thrive in the acting world. So, if you're as pumped as I am about leveling up in the acting game, this episode is your go-to guide! 🎙️✨ 00:00 Introduction to Actor Blind Spots 00:06 Understanding Blind Spots and Their Impact 01:31 Overcoming Blind Spots: Tools and Techniques 07:07 Blind Spot 1: Readiness 12:30 Blind Spot 2: Overwhelm 15:13 Blind Spot 3: Timing 18:24 Blind Spot 4: Busyness 20:18 Blind Spot 5: Perfection 20:28 Understanding Perfectionism 21:56 Perfectionism in Acting 22:41 Dealing with Opinions and Criticism 24:22 Overcoming Perfectionism 24:55 Recap of Blind Spots 26:07 Indecision as a Blind Spot 27:56 Investing in Your Acting Career 30:40 Making a Big Deal out of Small Things 33:00 The Danger of Making Assumptions 35:40 Steps to Challenge Assumptions 37:40 Conclusion and Invitation for Consultation ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

In this week's episode of Act Bold, despite battling a bit of laryngitis, I'm taking on a topic that's crucial for every actor: 'Readiness'.  Or rather using “not being ready” as a reason for not moving forward. I’m going to dissect that.

I break down a simple three-step plan to help you move from feeling stuck to taking action. It's straightforward, practical, and could be the nudge you need to get you out of your funk.

Curious to find out how you can turn your readiness into a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block? Make sure to listen to the full episode. There's a lot to unpack, and I promise it's worth your time.

In this episode of Act Bold, I had a fantastic conversation with Seumas Sargent, an actor, and a friend who is killing it at the moment. Seumas shared his journey, starting from his time with the Blue Man Group to his current success in acting. His philosophy is all about investing time and effort in forging genuine connections, both in life and in film. He emphasized the importance of treating people kindly, with humor and love, and how that translates into his work. Seumas also discussed his approach to networking and job hunting in the acting industry, stressing the need for authenticity and resilience. He shared practical tips on how to reach out to industry professionals and how to make a lasting impression. He also talked about the importance of diversifying experiences and engaging with life outside of acting. This interview was enlightening and inspiring, showcasing the importance of persistence, authenticity, and positivity in both personal and professional life. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:32 Seamus Sargent's Early Career and Blue Man Group Experience 03:14 Transition from Blue Man Group to Acting 03:40 Networking and Mindset for Success in Acting 04:25 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Learning from Blue Man Group 06:56 The Importance of Authentic Relationships in the Industry 08:48 The Role of Spontaneity and Play in Acting 13:55 The Journey to Success and the Role of Agents 17:25 Research and Networking Strategies for Getting Jobs 23:16 The Importance of Persistence in the Film Industry 23:58 Keeping Track of Your Progress 24:17 The Struggles of Staying Organized 25:33 The Potential of AI in Managing Work 26:14 The Art of Reaching Out 28:14 The Power of Being Direct 28:55 The Reality of Rejection 29:17 The Value of Genuine Connections 29:55 The Importance of Treating People Kindly 30:26 The Power of Authenticity 30:30 The Importance of Resilience 31:09 The Power of Being Yourself 36:58 The Importance of Volunteering and Engaging with Life 41:02 Connecting with Others 42:33 The Impact of Acting Bold 46:20 Final Thoughts and Wrap Up ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Diane Foy, a personal branding specialist, on my podcast. Diane's background is pretty diverse; she started as a photographer and makeup artist before becoming a trusted PR coach for creatives from various fields, including actors, musicians, and artists. Diane and I had a great conversation about the importance of personal branding in today's world, especially with the transition of media from traditional to digital platforms. The key, according to Diane, is understanding why you do what you do before starting PR or marketing. That means focusing on personal development and genuinely understanding and believing in your mission. Once you have that down, you can express yourself, your mission, and your uniqueness through stories and posts in a way that doesn't feel forced. That's what turns regular fans into superfans. We also talked about the concept of "superfans," who are not just loyal fans but potentially clients, customers, and even industry insiders. Diane stressed the importance of figuring out what sets you apart and communicating that through your stories. We also touched on the importance of having a robust press kit, which should include high-quality photographs, a compelling bio, talking points, and past media coverage. Lastly, we discussed the role of social media following. Diane pointed out that outlets today are not only interested in a large follower count but also active engagement with followers, which can increase opportunities for features and promotions in the media. Overall, it was a great conversation, and I learned a lot from Diane. Her insights on personal branding and PR were invaluable, and I'm sure you'll find them helpful too. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

In this chat with Karolina Matheis, the brain behind Mathies Premium Casting Agency in Berlin, we dove into her transition from a music gig at Rolling Stone Magazine to the casting world. It's fascinating how her quest for something more fitting led her to marketing, performing arts, and eventually casting. Juggling agency life and motherhood, she's nailed some stellar projects with icons like Robbie Williams and Martin Scorsese, quite serendipitously, detaching from her music industry roots. We got real about the casting realm's highs and lows. Karolina stressed on actors honing their craft, embracing their unique flair, and being market-savvy to thrive in this competitive space. It's all about striking that balance between pursuing your calling and letting it fuel your journey, right? Our talk also veered into the exciting terrain of auditions, where a sprinkle of unconventionality could just be your ticket to catching the eye. The essence of being present, cherishing every opportunity, and staying curious in exploring various creative avenues resonated through our conversation.

In this episode of Act Bold, I sit down with the creative powerhouse couple, Ivan Malekin and Sarah Jayne, based in Zagreb. They're the brains behind Nexus Production Group, and have a knack for spinning stories on screen in a way that's all their own. Ditching the script, they dive into the realm of improv, sketching out just the story outlines and scene beats to keep the narrative on track. They've honed a process that digs deep into the characters' backstories, bringing a slice of real life to the screen. It's all about making those performances feel genuine and relatable. So, tune in as we unravel the journey of Ivan and Sarah's improv adventures in filmmaking, and how their love for each other plays a role in the creative magic they conjure up on set. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

We all have things we believe... One of my beliefs centers around the necessity to change the power dynamic between yourself and the rest of the film industry because even though actors are above the line, they're still the lowest element on the totem pole when it comes down to it. One of the ways you can do this is by working your values and beliefs into your primal brand. What does that mean in people-speak? Find something that you can get behind in an authentic way that will give you another point to talk about (besides begging someone to view your showreel) when meeting with industry professionals. The best way for people to see you as an equal is to put yourself on equal footing and you can do that by showing them your "authority" in a certain area. For example, my friend, Angus McGruther, who I interviewed this week on the podcast, is an actor but he's also the co-director of THE DOWN UNDER FILM FESTIVAL in Berlin. For Angus, this was a game-changer on many levels. It set him apart from other actors It raised his confidence in his value in the film industry Filmmakers now go to him He's able to attend events like film festivals, premiers, & panels in a new capacity He's also networking with filmmakers on a casual basis which wouldn't have been possible for him if he were just approaching them as an actor. Those are just some of the ways that Angus is able to feel like he is an equal to the powers that be. Because, of course, we ARE all equal, even though it doesn't always feel that way. Maybe it will spark some ideas in that beautiful, bold head of yours. ;-)

Hey listeners, today, I'm pulling back the curtain on a thought close to my heart: how jumping head-first, even if things aren't perfect, can set your life and career in motion. Reflecting on my acting days, I unpack the big monsters: our ego, that pesky fear, and the chase for perfection. Let's dive deep into what it means to be truly authentic and why, sometimes, taking that imperfect step is the bravest thing you can do.

Key Takeaways:

1. Rolling with Imperfect Action: Waiting for that 'perfect' moment? Let me tell you, it's about hitting the ground running, imperfections and all.

2. The Big Roadblocks:

Battling the Ego: Remember when I was hesitant about my no-makeup jogs? Letting go of that need to 'look perfect' made all the difference.

Facing the Fear: Whether it's the ghost of judgments past or the anxiety of not living up to what others want, fear can be a tough cookie.

3. Acting and Authenticity: Detach from your reflection in the mirror. That was one thing that made my characters more real and relatable.

4. Finding Your Tribe: We won't click with everyone, and guess what? That's more than okay. It's about finding those who truly 'get' us.

5. Creating Boundaries: It took me a while, but I've learned to carve out my space in relationships which I dedicate to my needs. After all, we all deserve to bloom creatively.

6. Consistency – My Secret Sauce: Just like my daily runs (which you’ll hear!), being consistent has been my ladder to growth.

7. **Backing Yourself:** Even on gloomy days, wear that invisible crown. Believe me, rooting for yourself can change the game.

Heads Up: Ever wondered about the huffing and puffing? I'm bringing you some "walking talks" straight from my post-run cool-downs. Join me, and let's chat as I catch my breath!

Carla B. Guttmann: Here's the scoop on Carla. Hailing from Montreal, she's made quite the splash in the international film circuit. Her films? They've proudly showcased at big names like TIFF and Karlovy Vary. As a card-carrying member of the German Directors Guild, she's delivered hits like "The Double Woman" and the widely-watched "Making Heart of Fire" on German TV. With hands-on experience from Berlinale to Gotham Week in NYC, Carla didn’t stop at just making films. In 2017, she kicked off 'A-LIST FESTIVAL COACH', helping actors navigate and stand out at the world's elite film festivals. Impressive, right? ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?

I had an amazing time chatting with Reena Friedman Watts on The @BetterCallDaddy Show. We got into the nitty-gritty of my life as an American actress, screenwriter, and podcaster living in Germany. I shared my wild ride into the acting world, and we talked about the importance of just jumping in and taking those first steps, even if they’re not perfect. We went back to my film school days and the big leap I took getting back into acting after a 16-year break. It wasn’t always easy balancing family life with a demanding career, and I spilled the tea on my rebellious teenage years and the complicated relationships with my parents. I also got real about forgiving my mom and how that shaped my own parenting style, showing just how strong and resilient we can be. This conversation is packed with heartfelt moments, stories of overcoming adversity, and a lot of laughs. So, join us for a deep dive into embracing imperfections, choosing light over darkness, and finding inspiration in every twist and turn life throws your way. You don’t want to miss this one!

Jerry, more than any other actor I know, is very systematic about the way he has created a career for himself as a POC actor in Germany and Internationally. He understands the film industry here inside and out and has been able to apply his knowledge from his past career in marketing and even his university studies to become a lawyer, to the business of acting. He refused to accept being typecast as a "thug" or "immigrant" just because of his skin tone and then set about changing the way people think about casting him - or in other words, his branding. But he took it one step further, and makes it a point to not only make sure people see him the way he wants to be seen but that they know who he is through effective and targeted marketing. Grab a "Spezi," then sit back and enjoy. This is a good one. Jerry's Headshot is by photographer (c) Claudia Engl ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?
