Breaking Into the Business: Market Yourself as an Actor (for Adults and Parents of Kids and Teens) Instructor: Julie Arvedon, Casting Director, Director of Marketing Next One-Evening Seminar: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm) Price: $99 Angela Peri highly recommends this seminar if you are an actor looking for work:
“You’re not going to get the job if they don’t know you are out there.” This seminar takes the mystery out of the process of promoting yourself as an actor in New England and helps you drum up enthusiasm for your services. The concepts presented apply equally well to theater, film, TV and voice-over work. Marketing involves creating your best promotions and getting them to the right people, but there’s a whole system that actors need to know about to land work. From mapping out a strategy, to doing all the right follow up so you’ll keep getting hired. Come ready for some laughs, as well as solid advice on how to succeed at your dreams.

“This class teaches everything that they should have taught in college. I left there feeling like I had a lot of work to do…and now I know how!” “This 3 hour seminar is a “Marketing 101″ for any actor who needs to focus on the selling of him/herself as a talent. She went from a general overview to specific insights towards helping me clarify and act upon my objectives at hand. Brava!” Luis N.
