This week at Backstage University, network with your fellow actors, learn how to market yourself and get your foot in the door with two agents and a casting director!
This Tuesday, Jan. 20, offers three opportunities for learning. First, actors can meet and perform for legit agent Nicole Wichinsky of powerhouse agency DGRW. DGRW is a top boutique agency, with many clients on Broadway and television, and in film. After a brief Q&A, Wichinsky will be seeing contemporary monologues and offering private feedback.
Also on Tuesday, work on-camera with Ashley Ingram of Billy Hopkins Casting. Ingram works on a wide variety of film, commercial, and theater projects, and will be working with students on scenes that she will assign in advance. Don’t miss this opportunity to hone your on-camera skills!
Ever wonder what producers are looking for from new talent? Broadway producer Ken Davenport will be leading a tele-seminar on Tuesday about one of the most important aspects of an acting career: how to market yourself. Learn how you are seen from the producers perspective, and what you can do to improve your branding and increase your desirability in the industry. No matter where you are in your career (or the country!), tune in to this valuable online seminar.
This Wednesday, Jan. 21, actors have another chance to meet and learn from a top New York agent. Michael Imbimbo of 9MUSE will be seeing songs or monologues and working with actors one-on-one. 9MUSE is a powerful new agency with clients on Broadway and Off-Broadway, in musical theater, opera, film, and television. Imbimbo is always interested in meeting new talent.
