Henderson-Hogan Agency

New York is more and more the production center for many Primetime TV Shows. This world has changed significantly over the past few years to include not jut the "young and pretty" and the "old and craggy" but to utilize all types and thus broadening the need for more diverse kinds of actors. Time and economic constraints play an increasing part in production and today's actor must know how to address these issues in their approach to this field.

The objective of this course is to professionally prepare the trained actor in all aspects of Primetime Television within an actual TV environment.

This class has been designed to give actors all the skills and information they need to survive and prosper in the world of Primetime Television. Although you have to make it happen, Erin can give you a good idea of what is expected. We talk about schedules, expectations and logistics. We also spend time performing scene study using real scripts. Once properly rehearsed, we then put the scenes on videotape. 

The last class we will have an invited guest Agent who is actively working on NYC Television. The industry guest will be there to answer whatever questions you might have and we will also perform our best scenes for him / her. At that time, please have your picture and resume ready.  Many former students have been given an opportunity to appear as u/5's and extras on the NY shows.  Hopefully the class will be fun and interesting, but most importantly will give you the tools you need to seek a career in Primetime Television.

Each student will have a DVD of their work from each class day.
