JOAN BRYANT MY ASIAN REP AND FAV CHARACTER EVER ILY 🙏

[thelaurenshippen]

it's officially been 10 years since I sent @thebrightsessions pilot to my friend Jack to get his thoughts. he was the first person to read it, and gave me great thoughts, and I made the pilot better and then...

well. it was almost exactly a year before I sent this message:

all to say: however long it takes, however uncertain you feel—surround yourself with amazing, kind, talented people and just go for it. the worst that can happen is that you learn something. the best is that you learn something and it gives you your life, which is what happened to me.

it’s said so much that it sounds trite but it really is true: do it scared

[necromancers-incorporated]

Why is Julia Morizawa in every podcast I listen to. I'm not complaining, it's just a fucking jumpscare every time I hear her voice now

DR. BRIGHT IS AMELIA??????????

[haphazardscribbler]

I love Austin's episode from the bonus session of tbs so, so much. One of the things he and Dr. Bright talk about is how he sometimes chooses to hide and go invisible, or lets it happen. I relate to this in so much of my life. I have a really hard time at school, for instance, talking to other people and finding ways to actually connect. I've always felt like people push me away but I think I'm the one that does that, and I'm just too scared to try anything different. This episode felt a little like I was sitting there in Dr. Bright's office myself.

Audio Drama Sunday - 28th January ✨

Hours of data collection 😤👎 Hours of data collection with audio drama 🤭🫶

👻 @tellnotalespod (S2E2) If I had a ghost in my life, I’d want what Gemma and Micah have 🥺 I really hate this back and forth between Leo and Frank! HEY! Frank! That’s ~my~ Leo to be fond of, not yours! I’m so excited to catch up with Julia and Riley next week! 

🦀 @thesiltverses (38) Oh my god, what an incredible episode! The exploration of a dementia-like process as being stalked by a god of death - PLEASE. The sound design was fantastic, I felt like I could really see the surroundings - the encroaching woods, the smudged prayer marks on the floor, the murky silt of the river - it was a beautiful experience. And I wish I could show you my face when I heard that Faulkner had got his testosterone from the CHURCH. NO! No no no. The manipulation! Show me a character in this show that isn’t so supremely messed up!! I want to help them all 😭

🧳 Travelling Light by @monstrousproductions (10) Another lovely instalment from my favourite wholesome sci-fi show. I couldn’t agree more with the description of home-sickness, you truly can’t predict what will set off the pangs for home! 

🏛 @the-mistholme-museum (INEVITABLE) I have been hanging off the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would happen with the Beast. I love Not Eagle popping up as a contradictory voice and ATG’s completely cool, calm and collected response to it. I’m so unsure about the HoRestoration taking the Beast in . . . I used to trust her but after these cards . . . I’m less sure. 

🌨️ @thewhitevault (6) I feel like I need to listen to this episode again to really let that Family timeline stick in my mind. Everything seems to be ramping up in Goshawk, and I suspected that there might be a few more unexpected, unwelcome guests soon! 

❤️‍🔥 The Love Talker (7) This episode took us back in time to fill in some of the blanks regarding the main characters’ pasts. It’s very interesting to see how different Ren’s ability seems from the outside - it makes you wonder how it’s taken her so long to realise that the affect she has on people isn’t ‘normal’?? Is she a victim or a monster? I suspect it's gonna be both. 

🏢 @somewhereohio (S2E7) Ooooh!! I was wondering when we’d get the answer regarding why Jasmine/Olivia was seen in that truck in Scarlet’s memory in S1!!! I feel like I need to go back and listen to their first encounter again to see if there’s any glimmer of a sign that Scarlet remembered her! The way Orange describes his variance sounds like a bit of a curse - but I have faith that he can do some good with it before the end of the season!! 

🍾 I finished S2 of @ameliapodcast and it was so much fun! I loved the reveal that Amelia is a real, living person with an active role in the Project and I love that it’s Julia Morizawa! 

🌫️ @souloperatorpod (2) I’ll be honest, I don’t really have a solid grasp on what’s happening here yet but the writing is very compelling, and I adore the music! I’m looking forward for the fog to lift a little! 

♦️The Grotto (4) I went into this episode forewarned but definitely not forearmed… goddamn. Can I have a new episode soon, please? 

🖥️ The Magnus Protocol (3) .jmj error HM? REALLY. I really am hoping that this will end with our TMA faves hopping out of the computers but I would also be satisfied with an explanation that whatever this thing is has listened to them read so many statements that it’s taken their voices, if nothing else… Also, I love Colin - it’s so rare that a piece of media gives us a character who is sooo batshit right from the word go. I love him. He’s 1000% going to die. 

Hoping for a good week for everyone!!

what was the casting process like for the bright sessions? :O

initially, there was hardly any process to speak of! every cast member in the original run of TBS (seasons 1-4) were people I met in acting class or friends of friends. here's the breakdown -

Julia Morizawa - met in an acting class at BGB Studio Briggon Snow - BGB Anna Lore - met in improv 101 at UCB Charlie Ian - BGB Andrew Nowak - BGB Alex Gallner - friend of Briggon's Ian McQuown - friend of Anna's Alex Marshall-Brown - friend of Anna's and Ian's Phillip Jordan - BGB Alanna Fox - BGB Reyn Beeler - part of the ars paradoxica cast! aka friend of Mischa's

as you can see, that weekly class at BGB Studio in North Hollywood was the place for TBS casting lol - there were so many great actors that moved through that Sunday night class, but all of us were in class with each other at one point or another, and having that experience of acting together really helped I think.

when I started the show, I knew I wanted to act in it and I wanted to write a role for Anna, my best friend. but I actually didn't know Julia or Briggon that well - I just admired their acting and took a swing in asking them. that worked so well that then it was like....okay, well BGB is my actor pool now (I remember vividly the moment that Charlie was doing a scene in class and Julia and I looked at each other and had a silent conversation of "oh THERE'S our Damien").

season 5 (the bright sides - the bonus episodes) was similar. Michael Felix (who plays Austin) was someone we found through auditions, but everyone else was an actor either I knew or the writer of the episode knew, including folks from other podcasts! then, for seasons 6 and 7, the spin-offs, we just did a very traditional casting process, including in person auditions for season 6 (we recorded season 7 in 2020).

[re-dracula]

The Amelia Project is a secret organisation offering a very special service: Faking its clients' deaths! Its eccentric clientele includes cult leaders, criminals and politicians all desperate to disappear and start over... For how long can the secrecy last?

With the help of his indispensable assistant Alvina, The Amelia Project's Interviewer needs only a 20 minute consultation to help any troubled client disappear into a new and exotic life. His solutions are delivered with a flourish of ingenuity, style, and a mug of finest cocoa. But you don't get to be this good without attracting some unwanted attention…

The transcript for this episode can be found here.

This episode features voice acting by Alan Burgon, Dave Moskin and Julia Morizawa. Written by Philip Thorne. Directed by Philip Thorne and Oystein Brager. Music and sound design by Fredrik Baden. Produced by Imploding Fictions.

I genuinely love Julia Morizawa as Dr. Bright so fucking much like. perfect casting 1,000,000% no notes. she has such an air of authority that whenever she talks about her personal life or her emotions it's genuinely surprising. When she gets excited about Hugger Mugger you suddenly remember she's only like 35 and it's just. man. I need a minute

[chronically-enthusiastic]

I finished the main bright sessions storyline! (I’m going to start the AM archives tomorrow)

And I absolutely loved it but it felt kind of unfinished? I guess that’s what the other two seasons are for but especially with Damian. Like I get that some people cannot do good no matter how hard we try but I really believed in him and it is so heartbreaking to see his character arc end like this. I hope I get to hear more of him in the AM archives but I don’t think so :(

I did like how real the story and the characters felt! My favourites were Caleb, he made so much progress and learned so much!, and Damien because he’s such an interesting character and I genuinely felt sorry for him all the time (I do not excuse his actions in any way though, that was all horrible)

If I could have any of the “powers” I’d think I’d want to feel peoples emotions. I’d really love that (which power would you like?)

I know you’re on low energy rn and you don’t have to answer right away but I just wanted to let you know my thoughts!!

Good night!!! :D

(I really really enjoyed the show if you couldn’t tell yet, thank you for recommending it!!)

(Also Julia Morizawa’s acting was amazing, as always and I really liked Caleb’s voice!)

HIIIII

EEEEEE!!!!!!! ITS SO GOOOOD!!!!! THAT WAS ALSO SO FAST!!!!! I stopped just before the am archives cause ive heard jt gets more horror-y, and the college tapes were also a bit too suspenseful for my liking...

Yeah, I get what you mean.... I really want to know where everyone ended up.... I think that the last two series do explain that maybe?

YES!!!! I felt so sorry for him but also like, he made some Choices that were not good, and he could have easily not chosen to do those things. Ough caleb is just the best!!!

I think I'd most want sam's, but caleb's would probably fit my personality a bit more!

YES!! Shjwjejejeje its so goooood.........
