LISA GOLD, Actors Connection - Having grown up in the south with a comedian father, Lisa was encouraged to pursue show business and is now considered one of the leading authorities in the New York area on what it takes to be a successful actor in this often insecure industry.  Becoming a business owner with the purchase of a small mom and pop company called Actors Connection in 2000, she began to learn the “inside” secrets and ways of business that were hidden from view as an actress/singer.  Growing Actors Connection to the #1 networking/ educational facility of its kind, the business today is a testament to the need and desire of actors wanting this vital information on what it takes to “make it” in this business.   Her underlying purpose in everything she does is to end the “Starving Artist” syndrome by aligning with like-minded individuals and entities who believe that the person creating the art should be handsomely compensated for it and not just the business people behind it doing well. Teaching and speaking throughout the U.S. at college campuses, private acting studio programs, the public library system or just about anywhere there is a need, Lisa gives practical advice and useful information on where to start once you’re out of school.  It’s called show BUSINESS folks!
