If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with all things messaging and copywriting. Before you say “Brian, I signed up to be an actor/filmmaker.creative, not a writer,” I want you to face a truth - YOU HAVE TO WRITE TO GET NOTICED IN THIS WORLD! The ability to write (or in other words, communicate, or in other words say "HEY I EXIST!") is an essential AND LEARNED part of being a creative that – when done well – will help you attract the right opportunities.   This is why I’m geeking out over today’s podcast guest Marisa Corcoran - the queen of copywriting herself. Marisa has her MFA in Acting from Harvard (not too shabby), but now uses her theatrical skills to teach coaches and creatives how to confidently schmooze their way into the right inboxes.    If you've ever been afraid you'll 'annoy someone’ by showing up in their inbox, then this episode is your free masterclass in getting out of our own way. This conversation uncovers performance-based methods for you to step into your confidence through copy. So grab that notebook and pen, and get ready to have your mind blown as Marisa shares some juicy tips on how your emails can jump into people’s inboxes with tons of joy.  CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS How copy can uncover clarity, confidence, and help you understand yourself better Marisa’s story: A Harvard MFA acting grad turned queen of copywriting The importance of specificity in your message  Foster your subscribers, not the unsubscribers What is copywriting and why it’s so important for creatives Discomfort and the performative aspect of writing authentically Eye-stopping writing tips so people actually read your emails Being specific with the person you’re emailing The power of PS The “Dead to Me” email: how to follow up in a memorable way Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!   If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave an honest review.
