SHOW NOTES |
|
August 4, 2007 TeleSeminar Call: APS
President Rock Riddle introduced the call with these words:
"Welcome to HOLLYWOOD SUCCESS!
This is TeleSeminar
Event #6 for August 4, 2007.
Show Notes for today’s TeleSeminar call and for all additional
calls are available online at HollywoodSuccess.com.
The best way to utilize these TeleSeminar Events is to
join us live every week. You can interact with, and ask
questions of, our professional entertainment industry guests.
You can even have your photo and resume on the "Show Notes" page
if you let us know ahead of time that you’ll be joining us for
the call.
"This
series of TeleSeminar calls is being marketed currently to
hundreds of producers. Eventually, these TeleSeminar events will
be brought to the attention of thousands of producers. Please
remember, producers hire and fire everyone in the film and
television business. Whether they are guests speaking on the
calls or whether they are simply listening to on-line recordings
of previous calls, the producers are looking at the Show Notes
pages. Actors, you might want to have your information on the
Show Notes pages of future calls for those thousands of
producers to see. This is another free service from APS
Entertainment, Hollywood Success, and me. My name is Rock
Riddle. I am your host for this series of TeleSeminar Calls. I
am also President of the organization that is sponsoring and
producing these events for you. The organization is APS
Entertainment and, of course, HollywoodSuccess.com.
"For
over 30 years, APS Entertainment has been in the business of
marketing, promoting, providing networking opportunities, and
empowering professionals in the entertainment industry – both in
front of and behind the camera. We have produced 17 cable
television shows, one of which was nominated for a Cable Ace
Award, and we have shot nine days of footage for the opening and
closing of our upcoming feature film, the working title of which
is "When Wrestling Was Real." APS Entertainment has a unique
mission statement. In short, our goal is to empower and enable
serious, passionate entertainment industry professionals to
achieve their dreams ... and go beyond. By the way, if there is
anyone on this call who is thinking, "I’m just a struggling
actor; I’m not an entertainment industry professional," allow me
to please correct you. Professionalism is much more of an
attitude than a long list of credits. So, for everyone who has
joined us live on this call and for everyone who is listening
afterward to the recording: We are here to empower YOU. We are
here to share insight and inside information with you that will
greatly accelerate your success. We are here to help make your
dreams come true. But, before we can make your dreams come true,
we need to ask you to do three things.
1) Determine exactly
what your dreams are concerning the film and television
industry.
2) Dream bigger.
3) Realize that your dreams are attainable: Yes, you can have it
all!
"In
an industry where most information is misinformation, we are
here to give you truth – blatantly and even brutally honest
truth. Of course, from your point of view, our truths, even
though based on actual professional experience, are simply
opinions. You will hear from highly opinionated professionals
today ... including me. I will have the opportunity and the
honor to be able to introduce our special guests on today’s
call. I will be able to share with you some of their background
and accomplishments. When you know the experience of the
speakers, their credibility will increase and their "opinions"
will probably mean more to you.
"Because
I am your host for today’s event, I have no one to introduce me.
Therefore, I can either introduce myself at this time and share
with you a little of my professional background ... or we can
ask for a volunteer from the audience. Please allow me to
explain. At the top of the Show Notes page on the
HollywoodSuccess.com website, there is a link to the 13-page
booklet that we are using for this and subsequent calls.
Hopefully, everyone on the call has either downloaded and
printed the booklet or is displaying it on their computer
monitors. If you have not already done so, go to
HollywoodSuccess.com. Scroll down slightly and click on "Show
Notes & 13-Page Booklet Here." That will take you to the Show
Notes Page where you can get the booklet.
About the author: Rock Riddle,
your Master of Ceremonies at the seminar events, has over a
quarter of a century and more than 125,000 hours' professional
experience in the film and television industry. His background
includes: President of APS Entertainment, of course, as well as:
SAG Franchised Talent Agent and Agency Co-Owner, Personal
Manager, Producer, Casting Director, Stunt Person, Talk Show
Host, Film and Television Actor, and Amazon.com Best-Selling,
Award-Winning Author ("How to Become a Magnet to
Hollywood Success").
His greatest talents include (1) his
mastery in the marketing of entertainment industry professionals
and (2) his amazing ability to motivate, inspire, and teach
actors how to achieve and go beyond their dreams.
On April 21, 2007, Rock was presented
with the prestigious Reel Honoree Award, an award which
is presented once a year to an individual who has made a
difference in the entertainment industry. Past recipients of
this award include Sylvester Stallone, Charles Bronson,
David Carradine, Robert Conrad, Kirk Douglas, Cesar Romero,
Mickey Rooney and others. Rock has dedicated the
majority of his life to helping people achieve and live their
dreams in the entertainment industry, and he is very proud of
this honor.
"Special
note: If you have questions that do not get answered on today’s
call, please feel free to e-mail them to me for next week’s
call. I get hundreds of e-mails everyday, so please put the
words, "SEMINAR CALL QUESTION" in the subject line. My e-mail
address is
rock@hollywoodsuccess.com.
"Today’s
special guests include Lisa Mueller and Melody Jensen. There are
additional producers who are listening. If we have time, we’ll
bring them on towards the end of the call. So, I will make the
announcement now: If there are additional producers on the call
who would like to join us during the last 10 or 15 minutes for
the question and answer session, please feel free to announce
yourself at that time and join us.

Lisa Mueller, Executive
Director of Celebrity Entertainment Corporation, joined the call
early.
Rock informed the listeners of the new contest (see above) and
how you can double or triple your results!
Lisa Mueller was introduced. Those on the call were
reminded that they could click Lisa's photo or name at the top
left of this page to visit her website.
Lisa briefly described her not-for-profit corporation. She
talked about networking. She mentioned an upcoming
once-a-year major convention that will feature some major
entertainment industry people. "Take advantage of us.
We need volunteers at the convention," she said.
The importance of joining these free TeleSeminar calls was
mentioned. The informal alliance between Celebrity
Entertainment and APS Entertainment opens hundreds of doors for
actors.
Lisa discussed her connection to Star Trek and some of the major
Star Trek stars with whom she works.
She also discussed her Spirit Haven Center project. She
was told it would take ten years to get this 9-figure budgeted
project off the ground. It took her one year.
Lisa talked about her upcoming PSA's and additional upcoming
projects. Rather than listing the information in the show
notes, we'd like to suggest that you listen to the call and hear
it directly from the lips of Ms. Mueller. You'll see why
the ethnicity and the age of actors being considered is
unimportant. You can submit directly to
actors@celebrityentertainment.org.
Rock
talked of his plans to re-incorporate APS/Hollywood Success as a
not-for-profit corporation. Lisa discussed Celebrity
Entertainment's upcoming projects.
Melody Jensen was introduced. She spoke about her
production company and her 35-year old international image
business. She discussed her upcoming projects.
Melody's upcoming feature films were discussed. All APS
actors and all actors on the call (including those listening to
the recording over the internet) were invited to her upcoming
November 3, 2007 Red Carpet Event in Newport Beach, California.
A few of Melody's celebrity actor/producer friends were
discussed.
The
psychology of color. Dress for Success. ... Wow.
Great information.
And,
lots more. Do yourself a favor and listen to the
recording. And, please join us live next week! |

Cortelious |
In
addition to being an extraordinary actor, Cortelious is one of the most
fascinating people I have ever met. He has "beyond top secret"
status in his "other job." Knowledge he will never share makes him
even more interesting. I believe he has answers to many of my most
intriguing questions. "Gee, Rock," he will occasionally say, "I
don't know. Of course, if I did know, I couldn't tell you.
And, if I did tell you, I'd have to kill you." The slight smile on
his face tells me there's an underlying truth to his statements.
For certain types of movies, he could be an extraordinary technical
advisor --- without giving away any sensitive information. :-) |

Hi there,
I want to RSVP for the teleconference this

Michael
Gavino |
As a boy in Maryland, Michael Gavino used to walk through
the woods dreaming of all sorts of fanciful stories. He would often
dream of being different characters in those stories. Little did he know
that dreaming would lead to a lifetime of acting. After leaving
Maryland, Michael attended Florida Atlantic University where he excelled
at academics and played for FAU's NCAA intercollegiate baseball team.
After earning his Bachelor and Master's of Arts from FAU, Michael
pursued his artistic dream. He continued his studies by attending The
New York Film Academy and studying under several prestigious private
teachers. He also started to act. As an actor, Michael has been in over
30 films and played the lead in 16. Among the films he has starred in
are: Detour to Hell, Reaping the Girl, The Devil and the Girl, Etiquette
of Dating, The Unknown Hero, Yes You Do, Upside Down Dan, Murder by the
Book, Night of the Escorts, I Wish I was a Fish, Vietnam Worm, Mary's
Secret, Tutorial 666, Urban Shootout, Caught Stealin’, and The
Encounter. Michael is happy for all he has achieved and has a simple
formula for success -- acting + hard work = happiness.
Michael is a successful
business man who has created several successful businesses. His
success is assured in the film and television industry as well, because
he is approaching the acting business as a business. He will also
be on the production side of the industry in the near future, producing
his own feature films ... |

Allan has been acting since the age of 5 (Santa Claus—the

stage work include years of way-off-Broadway theater and memorable roles
such as Scrooge, Matthew Harrison Brady (Inherit the Wind), Gordon
Miller (Room Service), Juror #3 (Twelve Angry Men) and Gaby (On the
Town). Recent years have included roles in indy shorts and features,
many training and documentary films, lead doctor in an episode of
"Untold Tales of the ER" (Dr. Lang in "The Gypsy King") and prominent
(and fun) background in "Friends With Money." (Watch him several times—he’s
the classy mature guy in the tux--between Jennifer Anniston and friend.)
By the way, Allan is also a licensed Performance Anxiety/ Stress
Management Specialist whose treatment is covered by SAG and AFTRA
benefits. |

I
plan to get a lot of information from this teleconference before I
come down to the LA area. I would like to attend one of the events
in person in the very near future or see any of the producers and
casting directors on an appointment basis. I can fly weekly from
Seattle with very little expense, so it would be easy to arrange a
time to meet with all of you (if possible) as I intend to become an
actor full time. Thank
you for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the
conference. |
