HOW TO GET AND KEEP AN AGENT  
led by Tony Nation, Owner of Actors Connection

"WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET AN AGENT?"  "WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR, REALLY?"  This is the battle cry of almost every actor seeking representation.  But if you've done your homework and are a pro-active actor, you can immediately improve your chances of finding the right agent for you and your career.  As an actor, you're a living, breathing product, but if you don't know how to properly approach the industry and market yourself, agents won't know what to do with you.  In this seminar, Tony will share with you his knowledge and industry secrets that he's learned as an both an owner of AC and professional actor.  You'll learn it ALL: Do's and Don'ts, Knowing Your Type, Making a Great First Impression, Correspondence/Following Up, Cover Letters, Selecting the Right Headshots, Resumes, Reading/Interviewing for an Agent, Sign or Freelance, Showcases, Classes & Networking Seminars and how to keep your relationship going once you've secured representation.      Don't miss out on this great DVD that will help you to learn all about talent agencies and how to get the right agent for you!

THE BUSINESS OF SHOW-Being Your Own CEO  
led by Lisa Gold, Owner of Actors Connection

THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of actors enter this overly competitive marketplace every year, so what makes you stand out?  Actors that work a lot are more than talented.  They are in charge of their career! They know their product, think like sales and marketing gurus and don't leave getting the job to an agent.  Do you want representation? Of course you do, but what are doing until then to get work for yourself?  And even when you do have representation you are only one of many clients.  For you, YOU are your top priority!  So who "buys" YOU and what are YOU "selling"?  Unfortunately talent is no longer first on the list when casting directors, producers and directors are looking for actors for projects.    Lisa will take you through her unique process of identifying your unique product and you'll leave the seminar knowing how and who to market to specifically!  After 30 years as a professional actor and singer as well as 8 years of ownership of AC, Lisa personally knows, talks with and listens to HUNDREDS of industry professionals
