Can I just say the scene they called you back on set for is *fire*?? 🌟 Seriously, wow what a great piece of acting. Thanks a lot for these videos! Following along as you not only break down the details of the entire experience, but also share your thoughts in hindsight on the choices you made is SO interesting. In the last part especially, when you mentioned your mind triggering you with the you-must-have-broken-the-spell thing, I was like ‘yes exactly omg same’ 🫨 After a busy 2023, this one’s been a suuper slow year for me, and I’d be lying if I said I’ve never caught myself repeating that sentence in the back of my head. Needless to say, I can’t wait for today’s podcast on the ‘this is it, this will change everything’ mindset/trap!
oh my gosh, I know this feeling all too well! I am so glad that this content resonates with you. I am trying to share as much of this life as possible, including the offset moments that are the majority of the time! And thank you, that scene was just, amazing to sink my teeth into
Yes I love the insights in your past booking being able to experience this with you is amazing for those like myself that getting into the industry and I do love that you always mention the mindset of what you think vs it’s ok that you had a slope after that booking… I would actually like a video on mindset in the acting world from you
@@samvalentineLA just really understanding how as actors our mindset have to stay strong in this business and although some do this anyway but not to compare someone journey to our own journeys
Love these breakdowns of behind the scenes! Definitely do more when you're able to! Very good point about being #1 on the call sheet and treating everyone well. My kid got to work with an A list actor recently (we had no idea this person would be there until they walked in and our jaws dropped), and we were pleasantly surprised that this person treated EVERYONE on set so kindly, from the editors to the receptionist. Not in a fakey way, either...the crew clearly felt comfortable being themselves. The actor took time out of the session to chat with my kid and I and make sure he was comfortable, and even showed him some personal behind the scenes footage of a favorite movie they'd been in when my kid mentioned he loved it. They were very busy and working hard on a deadline, and totally COULD have ignored us all and rushed in and out, but they went the extra step to make us feel like we mattered and even put a business call on hold to make sure we got a photo together before we headed out. (WHAT?!? Who does that!) My respect for this person went way up, and I had the same thought you did...that if I was ever at that point, I'd want to treat people the same. It made an impression on my kid, too, to see that even when you're famous and people are catering to you left and right, having a positive attitude and showing gratefulness and humility makes people want to work with you. It makes a difference, and it is definitely a memory we'll cherish. Glad to hear that the lead on Bosch was that way too.
@@samvalentineLA Even if the imagination is a bit blurry. I didnt knew much about LA when I startet to read the Bosch-Novels. It was just later also because of the TV-series that I realised that there are a lot of Palmtrees in LA. And I always thought the houses were much bigger in LA.
Good videos and advice, my question is, if you were a single woman, are you making enough money with your acting gigs to support yourself? have an apartment on your own, etc... Thanks
yes! I own an operate three companies as well, I’ve built them all up slowly over the last 4 to 5 years. So I make plenty of money without my acting income to support my life. It took a long time to get here, but it’s absolutely possible.
