Actors

UPDATE

Hope everyone's 4th was spectacular!
Let's start this month with a bang...
start setting off some fireworks in your acting career!

The TRU Actors Update 07/06

Thanks again to our wonderful casting editor Liz Burke.
And our hard-working associate editor Tiara Yong.
Actresses both, so they know what you're going through!

Thoughts at the beginning of July:

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind.
To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse.
To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better.
To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
-King Whitney Jr.

Which are you?
Get up and make a change in your life!
Go to that class and better your craft.
Go to that audition and apply your craft.
Go get'em!

A) The "union" or "non-union" designation is at the start of the notices; and union is highlighted in red.

B) Have some quotable quotes? Send 'em our way. No really, send us your favorite quote or saying, or whatever inspires you. We mean it. Yes, we really do. Please send something. Because only crazy people keep talking to people who don't ever respond, right? And we're not crazy. Are we?

C) Peruse the last update's notices... ya never know.

D) Have you sized up the TRU Bi-Monthly Update? It has a few casting notices not listed here, as well as other job opportunities, workshops and discounted shows. Click here or go to www.truonline.org/Update0620.htm

DEAR TRU

"I am one of the people who goes to your site each week and takes a look. I have to say, although there are some current items, there are many auditions marked new that have already expired. Could that be why others aren't going to take a look??? Or maybe it is just that time of year .... too many funcitions and not enough hours.... I think that the people who are posting with you are probably waiting til the last moment. I read your site as soon as it comes in and so if I see any that have slipped thru in the future I will let you know. But I am not upset with you guys ..... I am thrilled to have this opportunity to help me find meaningful work. Thanks you all for your hard work." ~Misti T.

"I noticed many old casting notices on this attachment. How often are the notices updated?
It's very discouraging to read a notice for something from last month which is very likely already cast." ~Stephanie D.

"I like [the new format] very much. Hope you have a great and busy summer, and I'll see you in August." ~Stephanie S.

ACTORS! NEED AN ACTING CLASS
THAT WILL PROPEL YOUR CAREER FORWARD?

New agent-taught series of classes, with $20 off for TRU readers! As an actor, are you frustrated by: Not being able to secure the audition appointments you know should be yours, not getting callbacks when you go to an audition, not feeling truly comfortable with your audition technique, not feeling truly comfortable with "cold reading" auditions, not finding monologues that suit you and your talents well, not finding monologues that are not already "done to death" by other actors, not finding a teacher who is well-versed in ways of helping you to achieve your career goals, not working with a teacher armed with a wealth of information, knowledge and experiences, willing to reinforce his thoughts and ideas with a veritable trove of anecdotal material, much of it gleaned from his own life and the lives of friends and colleagues? Then you are in luck! Lewis R. Chambers (who founded The Bethel Agency nearly 38 years ago and who has represented actors in all major media) plans a series of 3 or 4 classes during the months ahead. Classes are arranged in blocks of four each, meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings, as well as on Saturday mornings from 10 AM to 1 PM. Evening class hours are flexible -- some will begin at 6:00 or 6:30 PM, while others will, in all probability, begin at 7 PM, ending three hours later. Classes are basically scene study, monologues, audition technique, cold readings and, at times, a bit of improv. Informal meetings follow most classes, enabling students to learn more about the business part of their careers. Classes, of four meetings each, are priced at $180, with a non-refundable deposit of $100 to be paid ten days before the start of any skein of classes and the balance to be paid at the first class. For more detailed information, Mr. Chambers is reachable at 212.864.4510 or at either of two Email addresses: chambers_bethel@yahoo.com or BethelAgcy@aol.com
