139 - Series Regular Tell-All - Briana Price
Brianna Price, a series regular on Tyler Perry's 'Divorce Sisters,' reveals the brutal reality behind the glamorous surface of TV series regular work: 16 episodes shot in just eight days, with 55 pages per episode, one take per scene, and no room for error. She describes the psychological toll—crying on day one, surviving on adrenaline, and emotional whiplash from switching between intense scenes—while also uncovering the hidden contract restrictions that limit a series regular’s freedom, including needing approval for most outside projects. Despite the grueling pace, she found unexpected artistic liberation, comparing the experience to live theater: raw, immediate, and spiritually charged. She also shares her current struggle to transition from community-building at the grassroots level to forging high-level industry relationships, advocating for a shift from 'I want work' to 'I offer value' through initiatives like 'First Film Fridays.' Her journey underscores that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about strategy, visibility, and intentional connection.
Shoot 16 episodes in 8 days with 55 pages per episode—no re-takes, no editing safety net.
Series regular contracts often require approval for outside work, especially streaming content.
Emotional whiplash from filming intense scenes back-to-back demands rapid emotional switching.
The real power move isn’t asking for work—it’s offering value first through workshops and events.
Headshots should be informed by market research, not just personal preference or agent demand.

Brianna’s New Role & the Tyler Perry Shooting Style
“We're supposed to get 10. 10 days? We were supposed to. Wait, I want to, I just want to clarify for the people. Yes. So on a network TV show, you get 10 days to shoot a singular episode. And in this particular style of shooting, you get 10 days where the cast is shooting 16 episodes in a 10-day period.”
The Emotional Toll of Block Shooting
“On day one, I was like, I am going to quit. I cannot do this. Fascinating. And I called a friend who is in the same, the TPS, the Tyler Perry Studio world. And I called him in tears and he's like, well, you know, everybody goes through. Everyone shows up and starts crying day one.”
Artistic Liberation in Chaos
“It was like a spiritual thing too, it was very cool. I remember an acting teacher used to say watching a play should be as exciting as watching a boxing match where you have no idea what's gonna happen and every hit should be like oh my god I can't believe you did that.”
