Wendy Braun

Wendy Braun Instagram – So much fun to “get off Zoom and back in the room” to inspire, uplift and empower actors and creative warriors from all over the country. Thank you @wendyalane1 for having the vision and putting in all the work to bring so many expert speakers, coaches, agents, managers, directors and casting directors together to teach, connect, converse and create community IN PERSON. I loved being the opening keynote speaker and guiding everyone to creating breakthroughs. (The standing ovation got me teary-eyed). So fun to also be part of the working actor’s panel with so many talented actors -Kenzo Lee, Holly Gagnier, James Ciccione, and Gloria Garayua, Jason Stuart and James Ciccone. Loved seeing some old friends and making new ones. Hugging my amazing students for the first time in person (@melaniecollup @dawnniemercado @jeanvavra to name a few) and having others share that my talk released blocks within them and soothed their soul. 🙏 Loved seeing @marketing4actors for the first time after years of online friendship. Learning that @realjmdougherty and I went to Indiana University together. Hearing amazing stories from the legendary director @giljunger. Hearing about the book writing process from @john_frank_levey_ (Congrats on the book!) Learning about how much @lisazambetticasting champions working moms (and is one). Chatting with sweet friend @lisalondoncasting and boomeranging with her (and her awesome book!) Learning that @jamiedoerschuck is a giant fan of my character in Mass Effect (and a marketing ninja). And hugging Aussie mate @seanmiguelperez in person. Just a few of the countless moments of joy, hope, inspiration and impact this event had on me and so many others. Not to mention all the amazing attendees who I shared heartfelt conversations with all weekend long. The takeaway: You have one life. Go follow your dreams. Do more of what scares you. Find like-minded people to help and support you. And, like my late father told me…Keep Going Sunshine. #ActorInspirarion #KeepGoingSunshine #TMFALive #creativeWarriors #actorsofinstagram #actorlife #workingmom #keynotespeaker | Posted on 23/May/2023 07:51:36
