You have...
Super Strength!
Following in the footsteps of the Incredible Hulk,Thor, Mighty Thor or Black Widow - you have super human strength and it's palpable.
You're obviously strong AND you’re built to have longevity in this business.
Even though you've been in the business for a while, you're still at it, you're committed and close to breaking through.
Here's what I know - great things are on the way for you.
Your Actor Biz Assets
Because of your super strength, 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.
You've got experience
Come on, you're a Pro! You get what it takes to work in this business and you have successes to back it up.
Not afraid of commitment
You committed to your vision of being an actor a long time ago and it still rings true to you. You are steadfast and resolute.
Built for longevity
You're a long-hauler. You're not looking for overnight success and have been planting seeds for awhile. It's time to reap the rewards.
Areas of Your Biz That Need Attention 💪🏻
#1
You've lost your why.
Maybe you've forgotten why you started acting in the first place. When this happens, you tend to do things by rote or simply because you've always done them that way. The big picture and passion is waning and you might be stuck in the minutiae. It's time to tap back in to what drives you.
#2
You haven't assessed in awhile.
Sounds like it's time to assess your materials and techniques. Because you've been at it for awhile, you can get stuck in doing things the same way over and over again. A deep tough love assessment is in order to see what's really working and what isn't.
#3
Your branding is vague.
Your branding is probably not specific enough OR it's time for a rebrand. The majority of actors don't go deep enough on branding. I know you have an idea of who you are, but it's time to get even more specific about who you are NOW and what's really going to open the doors.
🔥 Two Tips To Support You NOW 🔥
Branding Misconceptions
I've been teaching branding for 13+ years. And still, in all this time, there are MANY branding misconceptions.
I've been witnessing discussions as of late with my clients on branding and headshots in different markets.
I wanted to weigh in with my thoughts globally on branding AND how it can translate into multiple markets.
I'll say this: business fundamentals are business fundamentals AND we get to pay attention to market trends.
Is It Time for a Rebrand?
If you've been in the biz awhile it may be time for a rebrand? How do you know?
I find after 3 or 4 years actors inevitably ask - Is it time for a rebrand? Do I get to do the process again? What a great question!
I've personally rebranded 3 times. So far.
In this video, I'll explain the concept of a rebrand, why you might consider it and circumstances where it most likely will happen.

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.
