Free Masterclass Today, I will read you something that a listener sent me, so thank you, Margaret. I absolutely love this, and I'm going to read it just as it was presented to me because I think it's so inspirational about not giving up and also just it's about tenacity. "Hi, Peter. I ran across this post on Twitter and had to share some good points. Didn't know any of this about the film Rocky. I...

Today we're going to talk about a humbling subject: feelings and surrender. It encourages us to suppress our egos just enough. If you can, think of that game of limbo to get under the bar. Can you suppress your ego enough to get to the lesson that the universe is trying to teach you on the other side? And I think that that is so interesting as an actor because I always feel like a character is tea...

Improv Class I have a choice. I can get involved with the turmoil and, you know, continue to make it more miserable for others and for myself.

The Language of Letting Go "Letting go of chaos. No good wor...

Inspiration from Martha Graham. Broaden your improv skills with Peggy Etra I take pride in this podcast that I just let you see me for who I am, a flawed human being. Cause that's what artists and characters are. I try to use these little mistakes I make as teaching tools on how to be kinder to ourselves. "I confess that I had a burning desire to be excellent but no faith that I could be. Martha s...

Yeah. Shit, we don't have one strike going on. We now got two. So, what are we going to do about it? Well, I think the first thing I'm just going to do is I'm just going to share with you my feelings about it. I do think this strike is necessary. AI is terrifying for the actor, and I am so proud and honored to be a part of a union that recognizes that. Having your image so that a company just can...

Peggy's Improv Class I'm just going to talk about scarcity.   What is scarcity thinking?   It's not enough. There's not enough.  There isn't enough work out there.   There isn't any work out there.   Jealousy is a   type of scarcity thinking because it is not acknowledging that there is enough for everyone.   And this kind of thinking as an actor really only hurts you.  The phrase is, you take the...

Free Masterclass Today we are going to talk about celebrating The Language of Letting Go "Take time to celebrate." Now the funny thing is that I rarely take time to celebrate, and I need to keep doing it more and more and more because it is in the times of celebration, and it's in our resting times that we are getting prepared to do and accomplish more. But it's so important to reward ourselves. I...

Okay, now what? We graduated, and there's a fucking writer's strike, and a pending actors strike. Wait, this is not what I showed up for.   I've been a member of SAG AFTRA for over 30 years and a working actress for over 30 years.  And let me tell you something, I've been through a lot of strikes, and you know what the greatest thing about them is? They end.   There is a lot you can do right now,...

You Can Heal Your Life Letting the Past Hold You Back. "Many people come to me and say they cannot enjoy today because of something that happened in the past. Because they did not do something or do it in a certain way in the past, they cannot live a full life today. Because they no longer have something they had in the past they cannot enjoy today. Because they were hurt in the past, they will no...

Free month of The Weekly Adjustment Coaching Group The Language of Letting Go "It is important to identify what we want and what we need, but where does this concept leave us? Well, generally, what it leaves us with is a large but clearly identified package of currently unmet wants and needs, but we've taken the risk to stop denying and to start accepting what we want and need. But the problem is...

Keeping at it as an actor. For me, that means continuing to practice healthy habits as an actor, meaning a devotion to training, business skills, to core work, which is the work on yourself.  We need to work on these things with diligence, effort, and repeated practice. But every time we go just a little bit out of our comfort zone, that's where we get stronger, and that's where our new boundaries...

Today I'm going to talk about making it happen or if you're me forcing it to happen. The Language of Letting Go. "Stop trying so hard to make it happen. Stop doing so much. If doing so much is wearing you out or not achieving the desired results, stop thinking so much and so hard about it. Stop worrying so much about it. Stop trying to force, manipulate, coerce, or make it happen."  Now around an...

So now what? "Few situations, no matter how greatly they appear to demand it, can be bettered by going berserk." It's important to put all of this into perspective. This is survivable. It's going to be survivable. Is it tough? Is it a pain in the neck? Does it potentially throw off some of our career plans? Does it maybe stop some stuff that we hoped would go forward and now isn't because of the s...

Ken Rea's Outstanding Actor Workshop Well, this week, I turn another year older. In the 30-plus years, I've been in this industry, I've watched it change dramatically. Age is wisdom Age is an advantage Aging is beautiful Aging is a privilege "The walls of your comfort zone are lovingly decorated with your lifelong collection of favorite excuses." -Jen Sincero I was using age as an excuse. When you...

Ken Rea's Outstanding Actor Workshop Wendy Alnutt Class Last week I talked about the potential writer's strike, and I also talked about control. This is a business of practicing self-control. But what I think is far healthier is really learning how to keep the focus on ourselves.  The Language of Letting Go "Control. Many of us have been trying to keep the whole world in orbit with sheer and force...

Ken Rea's Outstanding Actor Class So people have been asking me about the writer's strike. Keep the focus on yourself. But what can you do? Use this opportunity to let go of drama. There's a great Michael Jordan quote, "Why would I worry about a shot that I haven't even taken yet?" Everybody is worried about something that hasn't even happened yet. Now let's talk about how that affects us as a hum...

Ken Rea's Outstanding Actor Workshop Ken's Theater Troupe So we wanted to do something that challenged that, that could excite and inspire young audiences and people, people who didn't go to the theater. There was such an amazing optimism, upbeat, warm energy. And we just got on and did it. Is it possible to have that attitude again in the world as it is now? I'm not looking to change the world an...

Money Mastery for Actors We have a problem because we are looking outside of ourselves to get validation. The only validation that counts is getting validation from the hardest person on the planet to get it from, which is ourselves. What do you need? And it's the same for our self-tapes, and it's the same for auditions. I also need to say, from a casting point of view, from a casting director's p...

Money Mastery for Actors Ken Rea Katie Flahive Setting Boundaries The Language of Letting Go "Boundaries. Sometimes life and people. And the business seemed to push and push. But because we are used to so much pain, we may tell ourselves that it doesn't hurt. Because we are so used to people controlling and manipulating us, we may tell ourselves that there is something wrong with us. There is noth...
