Misha’s acting was consistently killer. So good, in fact, she had friends giving her constant referrals! And yet… she was hardly auditioning.   Misha said no to referrals, gave up her target list, and quit worrying about her credits… and BAM!   After taking ownership of her career and putting her choices in her own hands, Misha went from having one theatrical audition a year to self-taping for major network shows 2-3 times a week. And she does not hold back on sharing her secret sauce in this episode!   CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS How her referrals in the past came from actors at another level and lacked the connectivity she needed to succeed in the relationship.  Leaving previous reps without burning bridges and taking the high road. Grieving the loss of time when you realize what has been missing from your career. Dealing with a new set of problems when you enter the next level of your career. How her at-home self-tapes changed the scope of her materials exponentially.  Noting your own perfectionism, owning it, and moving past it. The big difference of Developmental vs. Green    With this series, actors I’m talking to you: I believe that acting is your calling and your purpose on the planet. You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human. You have the power to change lives.   And, we all know that having great representation makes that impact all that much more possible.    But let’s not get it twisted – looking for an agent or a manager sucks. It’s not straightforward, there are tons of people telling you the best-slash-only ways to do it, and it can leave you in a constant state of anxiety thinking to yourself – is this ever going to happen for me?    And that's why in this series of tell-all interviews with my agent goals students – you’ll hear how they did it.   REMINDER: Each of these bonus episodes is very different because each of these actors wants different things from their careers: some want to be on Broadway, others have their sights set on tv and film, and still others are creators and want to land reps that are excited by that.   Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!   If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave an honest review.
