Self-Management for Actors by Bonnie Gillespie
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:
  1. Communicate. (We can deal with anything, as long as it's out in the open.)
  2. Don't be late. (And, of course, communicate if you're gonna be late, so we know what's going on.)
  3. Share your toys. (We all benefit from shared relationships and tips for working this biz and getting the most out of everything we experience.)
  4. Give solution-oriented feedback. (We encourage brainstorming, talking about good ideas, suggestions for improvement, and positive feedback.)
  5. 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.
