On December 31st, 2011, what wish did you make at midnight? Perhaps to define your goals and take the initiative to let go of your fears and insecurities, and knowing if you really try with all your heart, you can be a successful actor. A successful actor isn’t someone who wins a lot of awards; it’s defined by having the ability to do solely what you love for your entire life. Take control of your career, find out what a majority of actors don’t know, and get ahead of the game!

Some helpful ideas for an actor are:

• using material from roles that you know you could portray
• having faith in yourself
• setting boundaries of what you’re comfortable doing and not doing
• focusing on finding the right agent
• sustain your drive to succeed and do not get discouraged.
  As Woody Allen says, “80% of success is showing up.”

At our top LA Acting Studio, located in Santa Monica at the Edgemar Center for the Arts (a double theater & art gallery complex), leading coach Michelle Danner is extensively supportive in every student’s journey to build resilience and flexibility as an actor. We offer Scene Study which is open to students of all levels which can help them discover what casting directors are looking for at auditions in order to increase your booking rate. We are offering a new class called the Michelle Danner’s Two Day Film and Television Auditioning Intensive. In this class, students work on scenes from film and television and watch playback on the big screen. A true Renaissance woman, you can also view Michelle’s latest film, Hello Herman, at www.allinfilms.com. If you have any questions, please either email at info@edgemar.org or call at 310-392-0815.

We have a free info session this Thursday January 12th, 2012, from 2pm till 4pm to learn more about classes and meet Michelle Danner. YOU MUST RSVP to attend. RSVP at info@edgemar.org or call (310) 392-0815
