She may be brilliantly terrorizing employees as Elizabeth Prescott in Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, but we promise there’s nothing to fear! She’s quite lovely in real life. (It’s called acting)

We’re thrilled to welcome guest panelist Wendy Braun for an evening of incredible performances, live commentary, industry insight, and plenty of laughs alongside fellow panelists Meredith Thomas, Perry Hart, and Madylin Sweeten.

Wendy Braun is an actress with more than 80 film and television credits, including Grey’s Anatomy, This Is Us, and four seasons on Netflix’s Atypical. She currently stars in Amazon’s Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat , and is in Emmy® contention for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for her villian role as Elizabeth Prescott.

Alongside her acting career, Braun is a Forbes-featured founder of a global coaching company serving creatives in more than 25 countries. Her students have booked Series Regular roles, Broadway, national commercials, and major studio films.

A sought-after repeat guest expert at the Television Academy, SAG-AFTRA, and Women In Film, she teaches resilience, peak performance, and creating lasting success from the inside out.

Her work has been featured in Forbes, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, People, and The Today Show.

As if that wasn’t enough, Wendy is also contributing an incredible prize for one lucky Future Artist Champion contestant: her Ultimate Audition & Performance Collection + Master Toolkit™—a powerful resource packed with audition strategies, performance tools, mindset training, and career-building techniques developed from more than 20 years as a successful working actor and coach.

We’re so excited to welcome Wendy to the LACAE community and can’t wait for audiences to experience this unforgettable night of music, comedy, poetry, dance, and pure creative chaos.

.fala Talent Show June 5th.

Bar for bar, skill for skill, signed and sealed /
Tar Heel for real, guitar riffs of Eric Clapton / Clap em, Tears In Heaven, feel a desperate passion /
Running like he Dean Karnases, study the art of acting /
One time for my brother Adam /

Chambers and clips, a dangerous wrist /
Be careful, of the anger when the aims do conflict /
With lames looking sick, they quit and they hate you resisted /
Pray one day they break your spirit, then they can take your position /
