Learn how to get roles, land an agent, and make money acting on camera
by Brian Bowers via NEohioPAL 03 Feb '17

‘Make Money Acting’ BootcampSaturday, March 18th 9:30am – 3:00pmCleveland, OH (Location TBA) Do you belong in front of the camera?Do you have dreams of working in film, TV, and commercials? The entertainment world can be very exciting, but also very daunting at the same time. Have the following thoughts ever run through your mind? *How do I get an agent?* *Where do people find out about auditions for the big films?* *Do I need headshots? Or a film reel?* *Should I move to LA to try to find work?* *How can I actually make money doing this?* If you’ve had any of these thoughts, don’t worry–you’re not alone! In fact, MOST actors have had these questions at some point in their career. People aren’t born knowing how to navigate the ins and outs of the entertainment industry–for most people, their knowledge comes from years of experience working as an actor, going to auditions, taking good roles and bad roles, working hard to get noticed by agents and casting directors so they can slowly move up the acting food chain. That’s certainly one way to do it. But if you’re like most actors outside of Hollywood, you probably don’t have the time or the energy to go through all of those steps. You probably have a job, or school, or a family to take care of. You may not have the flexibility in your schedule to go to EVERY single audition just to get enough experience to figure out what you’re doing. And really, who needs the frustration of going to auditions and getting tons of rejections when you may never even be considering a full time career in acting. That’s why we created the ‘Make Money Acting’ Bootcamp. We will teach you, step-by-step, exactly what you need to know in order to go from no acting experience to booking national commercials. This information has been tested over many years, and is the exact same material and techniques used by talent agencies to get actors booked in commercials, industrial training videos, commercial print, TV, and film. The material works: - Even if you’ve never acted before - Even if you don’t have headshots, a reel, or any other marketing materials - Even if you’ve met with talent agencies in the past and haven’t been signed - Even if you’ve been the victim of one of the many acting scams out there - Even if you have no idea who to trust or where to start Hi, I’m Brian Bowers. I’m a former talent agent who has successfully negotiated tens of thousands of dollars in bookings for actors and models in commercials, TV, film, voiceovers, and print. I continue to work in the film industry today, helping producers and filmmakers create films as a part of the world’s largest timed film competition. I’ve worked in the entertainment industry for over 30 years–as an actor, producer, photographer, entrepreneur, and more. As an agent, it was easy to see which actors were going to be successful. The ones that did exactly as we instructed them did very well–they were called in for tons of auditions, got booked on lots of jobs (some of them very high-paying), and were even requested by clients for future gigs that they didn’t even have to audition for. That’s how I know the techniques I’m going to show you actually work–because they are the same techniques these successful actors used to get regular bookings and make money working in the entertainment industry. Registration for the 'Make Money Acting' Bootcamp is open now. There are limited spaces available, and there is a special Early Bird registration rate until February 17th.

by Nathaniel Montgomery via NEohioPAL 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Improv 1: Play Nathaniel Montgomery Improv Improv 1 is designed to get you up and playing. This six-week workshop offers progressively challenging (and fun) improv exercises in a low-pressure environment. You will learn to tap into your natural spontaneity, creativity and your willingness to take risks. Improv 1 is rooted in the teachings of Keith Johnstone (a Canadian improv teacher and author of Impro). Mr. Johnstone emphasizes the need to get the improvisers in an ‘anxiety-free’ state, to get them working well together (building upon each other’s ideas), and to use improv as a form of story-telling, not just for gags and jokes. Improv 1 is great for beginners as well as those with prior improv experience. This class may be repeated any number of times! Class limited to 14 students Schedule: Every Tuesday, February 28 - April 4 (6 Sessions) 7:00 - 10:00pm Location: Massage and Yoga Healing Arts 3250 W. Market Street, Suite 104, Akron (Fairlawn), OH, 44333 Cost: $180 for 6 Course Series To Purchase: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/improv-1-play-tickets-31757989000 ***The class is located across from Summit Mall*** Class Instructions: 3250 W. Market St. is a big brick building. Pull around to the back and park by the gazebo. Someone will be there holding the door open to greet you. Please be there at 6:55pm. Be prepared to move around without shoes on. We take our shoes off to respect the yoga space.
