An Evening with Raymond Forchion "L.A. and Career Strategy for the Serious 
Actor" 
This seminar is a must for everybody who wants acting as a CAREER and not 
just a hobby. Raymond will give the actor strategies for the business in this 
market as well as in the L.A. and New York Markets.  If you are planning or 
thinking about moving to L.A. or New York at anytime in your life, this seminar 
will help !  It will prepare you for making acting your career and not just a 
hobby.   
Philosophy: Mr. Forchion believes the secret of acting is that there is no 
secret. The craft of acting must be de-mystified and made more practical and 
immediate. Acting is a state of being and action, not of introspection and self 
indulgence. No Mumbo Jumbo! Ray gets the performer out of his own head and 
allows him to be presented to the marketplace. Raymond's philosophy is that an 
actor has to keep active and visible. Actors also need to be nurtured. The 
business beats us up enough. The greatest actor in the world if he or she is unseen, 
is often considered bad as the worst.
Each of us is unique in the contribution we bring to the world, and it is 
through our support of that individual uniqueness that the world will advance to 
a higher state of being. "There is no art without passion."
The Seminar will Take Place On September 23rd In The South Akron, Ohio Area.  
All Registration Must Be In No Later Than September 13.
