A Program Never Offered To Actors Before. 5 Sessions: 10 Industry: 4 Agents; 3 CDs; 2 Managers; 1 Director.

Does the industry’s unspoken rule, “Never Tell an Actor the Truth” really hold? Ever get the feeling you’re not being told everything by the industry?

An upfront, honest, not “false-honest” content presented in a positive point of view.  Not meant to be bitch sessions, or cruel or mean-spirited, but to be up front in how the industry frankly views the talent and in doing so, know what you really need to know to help yourself and what you really are in for.

Every actor will also audition with each instructor/industry and receive feedback and do re-directs.

All the mysteries, misconceptions and half-truths that are holding back your career will be swept away and replaced with a crystal clear understanding of the industry and how you can successfully make it work for you.  This is a game changer. 

Because of the confidential nature of this Program’s topics and ensuing discussions, all students sign an NDA. $495 online.
