Saturday, February 20 - ACTING FOR THE CAMERA WORKSHOP - MANDEVILLE
Saturday, March 6 - ACTING FOR THE CAMERA WORKSHOP - METAIRIE
Are you ready to break into show biz? On Monday, March 1st, and on Wednesday, March 3rd, Veleka Gray's Actor Productions starts two new online training sessions to boldly go where few actors have gone before!
At the end of the journey, we will produce a SAG NEW MEDIA PILOT starring current and former members of our alumni.
The actors, both new and seasoned, will be taking this journey into the craft of screen acting and into themselves. This is hard. Everything in us resists change, but with a tribe to support you, progress and success are possible, even inevitable.
Classes are online on Zoom on Mondays from six to eight, starting on March 1st, and on Thursdays from seven to nine, starting March 3rd. Tuition for all six classes is $360.
Join us and break through any past inhibitions or fears. In the safe space of our happy online community, you will thrive.
Contact Veleka via text at 504-812-3379 to find out how you can be a part of this great adventure!
Samantha Martin also is offering classes virtually, including four 30-minute coaching sessions.
Contact Samantha for more information at samantha@hollywoodsouthtalent.com.
EXCITING NEWS: MY NEW BOOK: TIPS FROM A TALENT AGENT WILL BE PUBLISHED IN EARLY 2021. Information on ordering the book will be available soon.
Actors, remember that good actors continue to study their craft. Avail yourselves of the excellent acting teachers in our area.
Actors, please keep headshots and resumes updated on both Actors Access and Casting Networks. This is the way that I submit you for work!
Actors, please let your agent know if you have a new phone number and/or a new email address. I have to be able to reach you! Also, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS EVERY DAY.
Actors, if you change your appearance (shorter hair; got rid of beard; different color of hair), please let me know. When I submit your headshots, you need to look like the headshots.
Actors, DO NOT POST YOUR VIDEO AUDITIONS ON ANY PUBLIC SOCIAL MEDIA SITE. If you do this, this could be the reason you are not booked for the job.
Also, DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OF THE SET OR OTHER ACTORS WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON A JOB.
An acting book that I highly recommend (one of the best acting books that I have read) is AUDITION! by Michael Shurtleff. It is available in paperback at Barnes and Noble and you can also find it on Amazon I hope you also will buy my book when it is released: TIPS FROM A TALENT AGENT. Stay tune for future book signings.
Actors, most acting books will tell you that you should keep in contact with your agent often. Every two or three weeks, you should email me to check in. You are not bothering me. If I haven't heard from you in months, I will assume you don't want any more acting work.
A GREAT GIFT FOR MUSIC LOVERS:
THE JAZZ CD "THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU" BY THE VERY TALENTED SINGER NANCY FISHER. You can listen to a sample of the CD on cdbaby.com. This CD is a tribute to my late husband, musician RICHARD HALE.
