TRADE SECRETS: REFRESH

  • The industry has been dead for what seems like the past five years. From COVID, to strikes, the fallout of the strikes and threats of film tariffs, we are just starting to see the industry move the needle a bit. And it's time to re-evaluate your materials and plan of action! Saturday, September 20, 2025 TRADE SECRETS; REFRESH ZOOM - WEBINAR Two available time slots: 1 PM - 4 PM EST or 5 PM - 8 PM. (3 HOURS) $30 Investment Ages 15+

  • This Online Class is called "REFRESH" and is open to any actor of any level. For a lot of actors (especially those in Georgia), the industry was incredibly slow/ dead last year and this class will help get you back into fighting shape and find new skills to stop sabotaging yourself in auditions and how you approach the industry.
  • Highlights of the workshop include:
  • --Updating Your Headshot/ Resume/ Bio/ Marketing Tools
  • --How to Update Decision Makers (Agents/ Casting/ Producer "Friends")
  • --Audition Tracking
  • --Realistic Goal Setting
  • --Content Creation --Resources to Educate Yourself On-the-Go
  • --Actors Access and Breakdown Services - Behind What Casting Sees
  • --The Sunsetting of the SAG-AFTRA Travel Waiver and What that Means
  • --State of the Industry in Fall 2025 and What Hell is a Vertical?
  • Without sounding too woo-woo, I want to share skills to get you out of your own way when it comes the audition process and stop comparing yourself to others. I've seen SO MANY actors in a rut and it's time to shake that off. I want to share what I've seen, what has worked for me, and what you can do to immediately improve your journey.
  • Every person, every career is going to be different. But you need to arm yourself with skills to confidently go into auditions and bookings in the year ahead.

  • This class isn't so much "So You Want to Be a Working Actor." This class is "You're An Actor, Start Working and Acting Like One."

  • If it fills up, I'll add another date. I want it to be small enough so questions can be asked, and so talent can share their frustrations and get personal constructive advise. You learn from learning from others and I want the class to be small.

  • Looking for scene work? Participants will do a self-tape in advance for constructive critique and review will perform one scene with a partner with redirects. Each redirect will be different, demonstrating different techniques directors use in directing talent on set. We've all had the "actors director" and we've had the director who gives you practically nothing. The purpose of this specific workshop is to do some scene work(out) and learn the questions to ask "when you're getting nothing."
