“One of the most difficult aspects of life as an Actor, is finding that elusive balance between the demands of the industry and the desires of the-artist-within. Many actors spend great amounts of money and time training to become artists, and then are thrown into the Biz with grand expectations and little-to-no preparation. The professional and life skills necessary to sustain a career as an actor, or in the entertainment industry in general, are not taught in any significant, unified, or large scale way. A number of University and Conservatories with 4-year and graduate acting programs do not offer a course like this as a part of their curriculum; and in these fiscally lean days, adding new classes, even those truly needed, is difficult – if not impossible. This is why I created this workshop series.”
