How to Crack the US Market
Presented in English by Tools 4 Actors
Hollywood attracts countless actors to Los Angeles every year, but most leave after they spend all their money and discover they can't even get an audition.
There's nothing that can make Hollywood an easy nut to crack, but there are a few things actors can do to make it easier.
In How to Crack the US Market, Casting Director Lana Veenker will reveal how show business is conducted in the States and provide tips on how to work as an actor in Los Angeles, New York and other American cities.
For those who already have experience working in the States, the workshop will provide insights on how to make yourself more valuable to casting directors and talent agents, both at home and abroad.
This workshop will be conducted in English, in lecture format, followed by a Q&A, so please bring a notepad or laptop computer. Students are also invited to join Lana afterwards for a meet-and-greet at a nearby bar or café.
