Description
Most of the advice about an acting career assumes you live in Los Angeles or New York. We don’t, and we’ve worked as actors in Arizona for twenty years, on commercials, film, theater and voice work, while running a studio and raising five kids. This course is how that gets done, taught by the two of us in the studio.
Spoiler alert: there are no shortcuts. Nothing here promises you a booking. What it gives you is the business side that nobody teaches in an acting class: how agents in a small market actually work, what a headshot has to do, how to find the auditions that exist here, how to cold read when the script arrives ten minutes before, how to memorize so the lines stay out of your way, and how to treat all of it like the job it is.
What’s in the course
- Agents, and how to be worth signing in a small market
- Headshots and the actor’s profile
- Where the auditions are, and where they aren’t
- Cold reads and self tapes
- Memorizing the right way
- The business behind all of it: goals, tracking, and the daily work
Fourteen lessons, one hour and fifty-four minutes, filmed with the cameras that run every class. Buy it once and it’s yours. It stands on its own; nothing asks you to have taken another course first.
The truth about a small market is that it rewards the actor who keeps getting better. As an actor, you are the product you are selling; therefore, working on yourself and the craft of acting is like buying inventory. This is the inventory.
