He was the epitome of taking “the road less traveled by.”
He was my acting coach and one of the greatest people you would have ever met. I unfortunately attended his funeral a few years back but I was delighted to see hundreds of people, most of them actors and other industry professionals.
I have made it my mission to document what I learned from him, so that it will be available for actors everywhere.
For starters, here’s one of the most important and impactful things I learned…
As actors, we love to work our craft. There’s nothing like the feeling you get from being on stage or in front of the camera.
However, it’s easy to overlook working on our craft because we are constantly looking for the next set to hop onto.
While there’s nothing wrong with this and you should absolutely do this every day, that’s only half the equation. The wrong knowledge and talent combined with the right mechanics will yield a terrible result.
Simply stated, imagine taking a super talented actor, throwing them onstage and telling them to sing any song they chose. What do you think the outcome would be?
Why?
Wrong talent, right mechanics (even if the are totally tone deaf and can’t carry a tune whatsoever, everyone knows how to sing a song…some of us are just really bad at it)
When you couple the right talent with the right mechanics, magic happens!
My acting coach had a unique ability to teach this. I’ll get to why in a second, but first have you considered why the top .01 of the industry “made it” while many of us spin our wheels for decades, without much progress?
Here’s what they knew…
When you couple the right talent, with the right mechanics, and they meet opportunity, the sky doesn’t even begin to describe the limits. There are none!
My acting coach taught me that I have the right talent, in fact almost everyone is born with the “acting gene,” and he coached me through the right mechanics.
The second half of the equation is someone like my friend Brian. He can teach you how to create the right opportunity. Getting the opportunity to spend time with someone like him is priceless and for most, it has been.
I convinced him to share something with you that he has only shared twice before. In his long and illustrious career he has only shared this 2X before in this format and he is going to share it with you on a live and free webinar.
Obviously, he can’t do this forever, so sign up now while you have the chance. Remember, he has only shared this twice before and I’m not sure when he will do it again, if ever.
Here’s a little bit of what you will from Brian…
How to:
Stand out in a crowded market – with or without representation
Identify the 3 biggest mistakes every actor makes that stop you from gaining traction with the biggest casting directors
Discover the easy steps – you didn’t even know existed! – that put you on top of the list (both when you and your representation submits you!)
Pitch yourself so you get in on the BIGGEST television, film, and theatre auditions
Submit to projects with the confidence that you are getting a fair shot
Present a profile to your agent that gets them excited to submit you for the biggest gigs (even if you fear your credits are unimpressive)
And tons more!
In fact I’m so confident that you will love what Brian has to say that if you feel like it was a waste of your time, let me know and I’ll give you a free gift as a humble apology. (This would be a free week of BMS, if anyone redeems)
You already have the “acting gene” and we’ll go over the right mechanics soon, because you have to start working on creating the right opportunity now.
Find out more by signing up for Brian’s webinar. Do it now while it’s fresh on your mind.
You know that I only bring you information, tools, and resources that I hope will help me…
See you at the top,
Scott
P.S. In case you’re in a hurry and scrolled to the bottom here’s what’s going on: my friend Brian is hosting a live webinar. It costs you nothing and you will learn how to create endless opportunity for yourself as an actor. He’s only doing it for a limited time so sign up now! Remember, when you combine the right talent, with the right mechanics, and the right opportunity (what Brian will teach you) there are no limits to what you can do.
