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.
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 had it not been
for my involvement with APS!
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.
