Registered participants will be sent a Zoom link. 

Workshop Description:

"Do I have what it takes to become a working actor? Do I need an agent? How do I audition successfully? What do I do after high school or college? Do I need to train professionally? Do I want to work on stage or screen? What do successful professional actors do? What do they think?"
If you've ever asked yourself these questions, this workshop is for you. I introduce you to some of the same concepts I've used to help professional actors get meetings with casting directors, attract representation by agents, and book acting jobs. If you think succeeding as an actor is all about talent or luck, you're wrong. 
Get clear on what you really want and set yourself off on a strong foot with a powerful approach.


Requirements/Materials Needed:

All attendees should bring their own answers to these questions to the workshop:
  1. What is my vision of the future? What do I want my life to look like and what do I want to achieve? 
  2. How much money do I want to make annually as an actor?
  3. What are my biggest concerns, fears, and unanswered questions about a career as an actor? What are the catch phrases and warnings people have given me about pursuing acting as a career?

I would also love it if anyone attending would record and send me a monologue by 48 hours before the date so that I could critique or workshop one of the actor's work live.
