EP #21 | The Actor's Showcase, Does It Help or Hinder?

It’s showcase tiiiiiiime! Yay? The question the boys ask in this episode is “do senior actor showcases really prepare graduates for the business or inadvertently work against them”? There are guests galore, including members of the 2024 UNCSA class and fellow alum, Robyne Parrish (’98) all sharing their experiences, opinions, wins and disappointments. Any post-grad working artist understands the full list of demands put on them as they build sustainable careers and while most programs make clear that there will be challenges, rarely do they subsequently equip them with the tools to brave the inevitable choppy waters ahead. Instead, the journey of most programs culminates in the senior showcase that will either propel the burgeoning actor or leave them empty handed, dazed and confused. Tune in to not only hear all considered sides but also walk away with some tangible tools as to how you could make the most of a showcase.CREATIVE STARTUP E-LEARNING PROGRAMhttps://www.artists-strategy.com/our-work"EVERY DAY SPECIAL" by JESSICA FONTANAhttps://www.jessica-fontana.com/album“CREATIVE RISK”, is a new podcast hosted by actors Joshua Morgan and Mike Labbadia of Artist’s Strategy where they explore all things art, entrepreneurialism and everything in between.

EP #20 | Standing Out as an Actor

EP #20 | Standing Out as an Actor

Purists, be damned...despite what artsy fartsy culture has told us, there are practical realities of operating as a freelancer of any kind including making sure you’re standing out from the rest of the competition. In this episode, the boys examine what it means to "stand out" both in terms of talent and strategic positioning within this saturated, competitive industry. Yes, everyone’s going gaga over Rick Rubin’s “The Creative Act” but the boys throw a little shade at its core concept and, as always, each other. Most importantly, their primary aim is to provide actionable insights and strategies for creatives hoping to edge their work forward. What makes you different from your competition? Why is your artistic POV needed? How are you actually going to break through the noise and demand attention? You won't want to miss this episode where LABOD and Joshua navigate the delicate balance between artistry and business.VICTOR VILLAR-HAUSERvvhclass@gmail.com"EVERY DAY SPECIAL" by JESSICA FONTANAhttps://www.jessica-fontana.com/album“CREATIVE RISK”, is a new podcast hosted by actors Joshua Morgan and Mike Labbadia of Artist’s Strategy where they explore all things art, entrepreneurialism and everything in between.

EP #18 | Approaching Your Creative Career From a Place of Love or Fear

The guys dive deep, tackling the impact of fear versus love on decision-making and actions (or inactions) on our artistic journeys. Covering everything from taking risks, battling perfectionism and the constant comparison game, LABOD and Joshua draw from their own experiences, good and bad. The key takeaway? It's all about finding that sweet spot between artistic liberation and cold practicality; leading with creative joy, while embracing feedback, and surrendering to the never ending process of growth and discovery. Plus, Mike might have been a bit...*ahem*...elevated during the recording, adding an extra layer of "insight".
