You have...
Super Senses
You're an artist through and through.
Just like the Black Panther or Super Girl, you have super senses that make you hyper aware of the world around you in general, and its beauty.
You devote yourself to your craft and the art of it all. This makes you a wonderful actor.
Here's what I know: If you just embraced the business side with as much passion as your craft, you're entire career would open up.
Your Actor Biz Assets
Because of your ability to fly, there are some things you're pretty freakin' great at.
Sometimes you negate these things because you just see them as who you are and what you do.
It's time to own your strengths!
Please know, that not everyone has these qualities. They don't. But you do.
They are an asset. Own them.
Take art seriously
You're deeply devoted to your craft. With a deep love for learning new skills and keeping your acting chops ready, you're by definition a true artist.
Sensitive soul
You are moved by the beauty in all art modalities. And you are deeply affected by the world around you. Your sensitivity is pure and raw and people love you for it.
Passionate risk taker
You're passionate about life and being an actor. You're not afraid to take artistic and creative risks, you thrive on it. Your spontaneity is magnetic and inspiring.
Areas of Your Biz That Need Attention 💪🏻
#1
Allergic to branding.
Branding is not specific enough to be remembered. You deliver on the talent part, but the industry has a hard time knowing where to place you. A confused mind always says no. To get the career you really want, it's time to get more specific about who you are and what's really going to open the doors...because versatile is not a brand.
#2
Rebelling against the
business side.
The business side of acting is not why you became an actor. NO one because am actor to be the CEO of their own business. To compete nowadays, that's a job tile you get to be comfortable wearing. Your career is on the other side of your resistance. You just need a holistic system to approach the biz of the biz.
#3
Negate the idea of promotion.
Promotion feels like selling out. I know you feel your talent gets to speak for itself. So...you focus on the craft but not actually promoting yourself as an actor. All that means is you're a great actor that not a lot of people know. To get known, you need an authentic strategy to show the world who you are.

Hey! I'm Jodie Bentley.
I'm a NYU Tisch trained actor, producer, and audiobook narrator who has worked for Netflix, Hulu, ABC, CBS and many more.
Since 2008, I’ve been a career coach for actors and in 2022 was named one of the Top 20 Coaches in Los Angeles by Influence Digest. I'm also the former CEO of The Savvy Actor and Accelerated Artist.
I help actors take back their power and build the career they desire.
I've taught workshops at SAG-AFTRA, Actors Equity, Comicon, and over 50+ universities and training programs. I've been an adjunct professor and built the Business of Acting Programs at New York Film Academy, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Pace University, and Studio School.
I know how frustrating it is to be an actor. Not to mention, actors are not trained in what it takes to run a business, efficiently and effectively. Typically, it’s the last thing you want to focus on! Then you wonder why you falter, plateau or never hit your goals.
Competitive, impactful, business skills are the main thing you are missing in our oversaturated industry. And you need a roadmap.
So...you can continue to spin your wheels hoping to be noticed, relying only on your craft or charm, and keep daydreaming on the career you want, OR you can be a proactive savvy actor who understands business principles and how to leverage them to fast track your career.
