One-on-One
Consultations
All Brian's 1-on-1 sessions (both the 1-hour and the 2-hour sessions) are preceded by a 10 minute complimentary phone call with Brian to discuss your agenda with him.
Also, prior to you meeting, Brian will review your materials (pic, resume, reel, etc.) and take notes for discussion in your 1-on-1.
Post-session, Brian will review your new outgoing correspondence and check for corrections, and make adjustments etc.
All of the above is included in the session fees below and at no extra charge. Both sessions also include a 30 page PDF from Brian.
----------------------------------------------
In a 1-on-1 career planning session with Brian you will learn:
-How to run your business as an actor
-Website and reel critique/suggestions
-Which agents YOU should target--- and how to get interviews with them
-How to word all your correspondence precisely and professionally with the information that really gets their attention. (Forget the clever gimmicks). In the session, Brian will dictate to you- ver batim- your cover letters
-Exactly how YOU should answer the questions an agent will ask in an interview. Brian will give you a personalized and perfect answer to the dreaded "How do you see yourself?" question-- a critical area in the agent interview that even the most gifted actors fear-- and often mishandle. (See the next item listed!)
-How to know -and articulate- your "type" and "essence" from the industry's point of view
(See "VIDEO" on this website for a preview !)
-How to close the deal after a good interview with an agent
-How to find out who will be casting what-- and find out if there's a role for you (up to a year in advance!)
-The best ways to get an audition without an agent
-How to make direct contact with writers and directors (and bypass the casting director altogether!). Learn how actors who have worked with Brian--even those with minimal experience and no representation-- are getting auditions directly from writers, directors, and composers including Craig Lucas, Edward Albee, Steven Spielberg, Caryl Churchill, Tony Kushner, Horton Foote, A.R. Gurney, Maria Irene Fornes, Stephen Sondheim and others
-How to revise your resume for maximum effect
-How to audition in an agent or casting director's office
-The best ways to make inroads in the independent film market
-How to get auditions at the theaters agents really go to by targeting the right person --(it's neither the casting director nor the artistic director). Maximize your exposure to those who cast for film and television!
-Specifically how and exactly when to follow up on each career strategy outlined
