AUDITIONING COLLEGE starts in April. *The WEEKEND WARRIOR WORKSHOP 3 (WWW3) is scheduled for March 2016. It's for** those actors who already have acting experience plus novice & intermediate level actors. WWW3 is a weekend intensive workshop that will sharpen your acting skills and expand your search technique for professional opportunities.* *If you are a novice actor, you will gain the start up tools to propel on an efficient fast track. Experienced actors will revive their already obtained skills through proven techniques for the advanced. This program is designed for ALL ACTORS and my guidance has proven to offer immediate growth for most. My comprehensive instruction will engage you in cooperative learning and participation that usually results in an accelerated capacity for thespians.* WWW focuses on preparing potential actors with the foundation and methods to ramp up their careers OR existing actors to make the jump from smaller roles to larger ones in film, TV, and industrials (sponsored films). The best example is going from being an extra to competing for speaking roles, or deploying/continuing you in film and TV if you have been a theatre actor--by exposure to contrasting performance and direction. My proven success relies heavily on a regiment that I have designed specifically based on my own experience as an actor and casting professional--and your NEED. The intent is to make actors more marketable and competitive with an agenda to prepare participants for increasing audition opportunities and progressing one's acting ability in an intensified environment. My goal is to prepare you in seeking and auditioning for more lucrative roles. I am a professional SAG-AFTRA actor with 20 years of experience and a multitude of credits in TV and film (but my foundation started in theatre). My aptitude expanded from being a reputable casting professional of 15 years. I know the formula, follow my lead and you will efficiently speed up your process and have an edge in this competitive field. WWW3 goes beyond course study, instruction and the arts. It also highlights the importance of expanding your opportunities and recognizing revenue streams where they seem limited.
