The Professional Performer

"I took Dana's Professional Performer workshop because I am serious about my acting career. By working with Dana I learned how to successfully market myself in this challenging industry. The class has inspired me to find work that would give me flexibility to go on auditions and I feel confident that I can achieve my goals." Kathrina Therese

A workshop designed for the total performer, we will focus on performance, appearance and relationships. Whether you're union, non-union, beginner, experienced; we can all be professionals. Learn how to create a grounded audition at a moment's notice, refine your look, leave effective voicemail and follow-up for success. Achieve your long-term goals!

In The Professional Performer workshop you will:

• Plan your own career
• Identify and develop your artistic mission
• Prepare for auditions
• Focus on your differentiation
• Discuss the importance of relationships
• Assess your marketing materials
• Learn correspondence: cover letters, email & voicemail

  "The Professional Performer was a wonderful delight, not only the lessons taught, but also talking and sharing ideas with other actors like myself, who are just starting out. Dana outlined what it means to be professional, how to carry yourself and market yourself. Most importantly she taught me to set up short-term goals and to reward myself when I have reached them." Craig W. Marker

Audition Technique

We all know landing an audition isn't just about memorizing the text. It's about preparation, attitude, and conduct from the moment you make your audition reservation until you exit the building. Present your monologue from entrance to exit, role-play audition scenarios and leave prepared to handle the speed bumps of local auditions.

In Audition Technique you will:

• Learn proper audition etiquette
• Analyze the elements of a great headshot/resume
• Practice entrances and exits
• Identify what your body language says about you

  “Dana is amazing; I couldn’t believe how much she brought out in everyone’s pieces. Dana gave me extremely helpful suggestions and an opportunity to get a realistic evaluation of my work.” Jessica Raaum
