James Bane shared his advice on what it took for him to get into the USC MFA program in acting, what it was like to be a student there, and how he makes it now as a Hollywood actor.
Some key points of the conversation included:
• Having an acting coach, and the right acting coach can make all the difference.
• Finding a mentor in the industry.
• James’ thoughts on what it actually means to make it as an actor.
• Yes, this business is all about connections, and James shared his advice on making them.
• It’s all about continuous growth, because in the room people will see who has put the work in and who hasn’t.
• Reasonable rates for classes and coaches.
And of course more! It was really cool talking to James, and he and Trevor took some time at the end of this episode tag-teaming the acting advice, so you get it all here. Wonderful stuff (and yeah, James was on The Brink!).
