My $30,000 acting mistake
by Brian Bowers via NEohioPAL 24 Jun '17

24 Jun '17

Years ago I did a little web video explaining why people should get a 212 area code for their business. I still remember this shoot. I had a little video demo posted online for months that I had actually totally forgotten about it until one day I got a call from a production company–someone had seen my demo and wanted to book me for a gig. Of course I was thrilled! There were two different videos that were going to be commercials on the company’s website. They featured me as the spokesperson, convincing people to sign up for the service and explaining how easy it was. There was zero prep time needed on my part. I showed up the day of the shoot and read the script off of a teleprompter. We did a few takes for each of the videos. Things went smoothly, and I was out in about two hours. And on top of that, I was actually getting paid! A few weeks after the shoot, I got a check in the mail for $200. I was so money, baby! $200 for two hours of work–$100 an hour. It was way more money that I was getting for whatever day job I was working at the time, so I was thrilled. Seems like a great deal, right? Boy was I wrong! Read about how this one mistake <http://www.gorillafilmschool.com/30000-acting-mistake/> ended up costing me over $30,000 (and counting). *Read: My $30,000 acting mistake <http://www.gorillafilmschool.com/30000-acting-mistake/>* --Brian Bowers http://gorillafilmschool.com

She started out her professional career performing in several shows at Walt Disney World, as Ariel, Belle and Nemo. She later starred on Broadway in The Addams Family, as Wednesday with Brooke Shields and Roger Rees, Evita, as the Mistress with Ricky Martin and Michael Cerveris, and Glinda in the second national tour of Stephen Schwartz’s, Wicked. But with her heart always residing in country music, Rachel continued to write and record whenever she had free time. She recorded and released her debut EP, “Live The Dream,” in 2012 which showcased her pop country sound, and songwriting. Just a year later, she left behind the “Great White Way” to find her place among the neon lights of Music City. Potter went on to become a Top 12 finalist on season three of The X Factor, earning international praise for her rendition of Queen’s “Somebody to Love.” Her take on the classic tune, which has now reached over 32 million views on YouTube, is featured on her new album, Not So Black and White. *AND NATALIE WEISS* Natalie recently returned from her 1st Australian and 2nd European concert/teaching tours!

Last summer, she played Candy in the U.S. premiere of the new version of Saturday Night Fever at the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival. In August 2013, she completed a 2 1/2 year run swinging the national tour of Les Miserables. Back In 2010, she made her Broadway debut understudying the Menonettes in Everyday Rapture, starring Sherie Rene Scott. She also performed in the ensemble and understudied Elphaba in the 2nd national tour of Wicked. Natalie was an American Idol season 4 semi-finalist, has performed the National Anthem at Cowboys & Shea Stadium, but is most well known for her Youtube videos. She has gained an international following from her performance videos & popular web series, “Breaking Down The Riffs,” which have collectively reached over 3 million views.
