The Self-Management
for Actors
seminar with Bonnie Gillespie
is all about giving a good workout to
those weakest actor muscles: the ones that focus on the business side of
your career.
In our live seminar, we'll do rockstar things like:
- refine your marketing materials
- nail down your primary type and learn how to
target people who consistently cast that type
- dish about best-fit agents and managers and
coaches and photographers
- discuss how to get on casting directors' radar
when "the usual stuff"
isn't working
- identify and reduce bad actor habits
- develop your personal pitch
- brush up on networking tactics
- connect with a supportive, encouraging,
no-bullshit group of people
...all while having a blast!

After
you begin the registration
process, you'll receive an email with information on how
to prepare for our time together.
Wait?
Homework? What?
Yup. The SMFA
seminar is filled with awesomeosity, but it rocks even harder (and so
do you) when you show up prepared, open, and ready to kick ass. So,
there will be a bit of prep work to do, once you start the process.

Rules
of the Self-Management
for Actors seminar are simple:
- Communicate. (We can deal with anything, as
long as it's out in the
open.)
- Don't be late. (And, of course, communicate if
you're gonna be late, so we know what's going on.)
- Share your toys. (We all benefit from shared
relationships and tips
for working this biz and getting the most out of everything we
experience.)
- Give solution-oriented feedback.
(We encourage brainstorming, talking about good
ideas, suggestions for improvement, and positive feedback.)
- Have fun. (If it's not fun, why do it?)
|
The bulk of our time together is spent on the marketing side of things,
talking about what you've done (and could be doing) for
your career (marketing and
craft), brainstorming great ideas for moving out of stuck
places, discussing
audition tactics, discovering how to perform within alignment to your
true "type," targeting the people in this industry that provide the
most aligned opportunities for mutual benefit, and building your actor
muscles in ways you may not have even thought they could be strong.
Basically, we're here to facilitate awareness and growth for you as
an actor--not to teach acting. You're a pro. You just need the support
of knowing how to access your marketing abilities. Yes, you already have
them. You just have to get the muscles conditioned and keep 'em toned.
That's what Self-Management
for Actors is all about.
