Only a very small portion of an actor's time is spent acting. The successful actor spends the majority of his or her time pursuing work. The business of acting is this pursuit.

Unfortunately, goal setting, career planning, and the marketing of oneâs talents are not a part of the curriculum in most acting schools. Typically, these skills are gathered piecemeal over a number of years - if at all.

While there exists a dizzying array of acting classes, it is difficult to find a class or workshop that covers the work getting, self marketing tips and techniques that are the tools for building a career.

Without these tools it is possible to continue acting every now and then as a hobby indefinitely. However, if building a career is your goal then this workshop is for you.
