I've been an actor for many years, but never focused on marketing myself in the way one should when one wants to work in the business. Then I became a mom and focused mainly on doing theatre with my son and teaching acting. When my son turned 10, it was time to turn back to my acting 'career'. I had been getting email notices for years about the information-packed seminars for actors by industry professionals. So, my first foray back into the 'biz' was connecting with Rock Riddle and APS. I have to say that this is certainly "one-stop shopping" for actors! Through the seminars, the networking events (which are a blast as well as being productive) and many, many different networking opportunities available through APS, I have not only landed a co-starring role in a SAG feature, but am immersed in a pool of upcoming projects which I never would have had insider's access to! This absolutely was quite a strategic move for me as an actor, as well as the circle of wonderful people I have had the opportunity to meet. The returns are tremendous.
