"Hot labor summer has been WILD, y’all! As much I personally think labor movements are awesome, I can’t deny that this has been a really complicated and confusing time too. You might be feeling joy and community and solidarity out on the picket lines while also feeling despondent about your prospects for episodic season. You might be wondering if there will even BE an episodic season this year! You might be feeling angry, maybe at the greed of massive media conglomerates, maybe also at the fact that you felt like you were on the BRINK of breaking through and booking that first Guest Star! You might have even auditioned for something incredible just days before SAG-AFTRA went on strike and are wondering if that job even exists now. ALL these feelings are valid. I feel them too!
This is where we get to make a choice about who we want to be. Do I want to allow outside forces to stall my creativity and leave me feeling stuck? Do I want to throw up my hands and say “oh well, can’t do anything now I guess!” and come out of this strike in the EXACT SAME PLACE I started? Do I want to give in to the voice that says “you’re not good enough anyway” and create a story that this strike is a sign from the universe that I suck? OR…do I want to TAKE CONTROL of my life and my career and leave this tumultuous season—and it is just a season—with new goals, new materials, new skills, new reps and whatever else my heart desires???
There is SO MUCH we can do without needing to beg permission from the big gatekeepers at the networks and studios. In the past few weeks I’ve had clients sign with new reps (YES during a strike!), produce and film an entirely new reel, re-edit their existing reel to showcase new work, book commercials, rediscover their love of theater, get together with other actors to create their own projects, dive into voice over and audiobook recording, get their films on the festival circuit, take BOMB new headshots, and much MUCH more. The world hasn’t stopped. There’s so much we can do.
​
Come join me in August and we will discover the things that YOU can do."

A year ago I was living in LA completely lost on how to break into the business. I was un-repped, no reel, mediocre headshots, and just aimlessly self-submitting, hoping that some miracle would happen. The miracle that DID happen was finding Erin Rye. Erin has helped shape my path by encouraging me to push the boundaries. She will definitely be on my thank you list at the Emmys one day!

Working with Erin has been so helpful during this time of unprecedented stress and upheaval! She has been wonderful at not only helping guide me in my creative and artistic endeavors, but also helping me put them into the emotional and logistical context of our current world. Erin is always thoughtful, positive, and encouraging. She also has great instincts and considerations that are constructive for both my career as an actor and for achieving my overall life goals. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach!

When I first joined Actor Salon I was looking for a bit more accountability with my week to week goals. I was also looking for new ways to approach the work I’ve been doing for years as an actor already… But what I found was an incredibly perceptive and insightful life coach. The kind of coach that can read an individual’s needs just by looking at them… that is YOU! You’ve guided me into creating my first short film, writing my first pilot, and next year producing a feature film that I get to star in. The biggest thing I realized while working with you is that if the industry isn’t knocking, just build your own industry. Be the star of your work.
