Q?

What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A.

Do not be swayed by fancy schools with high overhead, or by someone who has a degree in theatre but hasnt a clue how to get work ! You can do all the plays in the world , which is good training ( as I trained) but does not get you on a set, or in a film!

I have the REAL information, and am working in the industry at present. Many people study drama and have a degree, training as an actor but do not know how the business works, nor have they worked much.
