how I work

I am a professional actor with SAG/AFTRA, presently working on top television shows and feature films. I have an extensive resume as an actor, commercial host and model. I know the inside information on the entertainment industry, and I instruct you on how to start working as an actor and/or model, in film, television and commercials.

The course includes a list of casting director contacts, agency contacts, how to obtain work, with an explanation of unions and how to join. I instruct students on production procedures, etc., so you begin your career looking like a pro! My classes are for a beginner, or intermediate student, who wants to know how it all works, where to go, who to see, and what is needed.

This course is mostly "how to begin working as an actor" (also modeling and commercial print if that is your interest) and can also teach proven techniques of acting or modeling. I am available after the two initial sessions for additional instruction if needed.

In addition to my work on sets and private instruction, I am an Adjunct Professor of Acting at a highly respected Southern CA. University.

Studio GF classes are also available via Skype. My former students are currently working on top film & TV projects!
