THE ACTING PROFESSIONALLY PROGRAM

Actors, at the start of their careers, need to begin mastering a number of skills. These include: movement, voice and characterization.

However, in order to enjoy success in the business, as one becomes a professional actor, one must begin to think as a
Small Business Owner/Operator.

I am very excited to offer what I’ve learned about the business of acting in over 25 years of experience on stage, in the studio and in front of the camera. The Acting Professionally Program is focused entirely on the business of acting. For an hour or so we’ll talk about the other skills besides talent, training and ambition which an actor must have in order to achieve success. Among the questions we’ll explore...

Employment resources
