You only have a certain amount of time, and it’s ticking, fast…

The Actor – Agent Relationship: 3 Determinants + 1 Sure Thing
There’s a big ‘Number 3′.
IT IS THE ACTOR-AGENT RULE…Always true, transparently, between professional actors and the agents that represent them…
How Professional Actors Relate To Their Agents. Really.
When you are working, in acting, you have representation. A talent agent not only negotiates an actor’s salary after they book an acting role; but before that, the agent makes appointments with casting directors for you to audition…for roles that they feel are right for you.That’s where a lot of professional problems, for actors, begin.

Dana Is Doing One-On-One Coaching, And Rare ProActor Workshop
Most actors spend most of their career, on the wrong path, that will never lead them into The Industry. Won’t help them get toward an acting career, even though they think it will.
I am talking about actors who get good training somewhere, maybe even college or grad school, or may even have a good coach!
Still they don’t have a clue about what it specifically takes, to become a professional actor.
And there is no other teacher or website that can teach all this, specifically this. Nope.
And I don’t know if I will want to do this again…
