October, 2009
Happy October to you all! Another year is already coming to an end – can you believe it? it’s already almost Halloween?? It is truly amazing how fast time goes by.
Speaking of that, here is Brad Heller’s Quote of the Month:
“live everyday to its fullest, work hard, practice your craft perfect, take risks, and most importantly … have NO regrets in life. In order to book the job we must abide by the principle that to be the best actor possible, we must train, and train, and train so that when opportunity comes knocking at our door, we hit a home run. even if we don’t get the role, we have done great work and have already obtained a victory. We will be remembered and called into audition for the same people again for another role in the future.”
We have had an amazing 2009. I want to thank you all for your support and commitment to our acting without agony academy. we continue to grow, and each year seems to be busier and busier. So far, 2009 has been our best year to date since we’ve opened our doors nearly two decades ago.
we are very selective about whom we will accept into our program, and we have more talented students than ever. We have many beginners with raw talent which needs to be developed, and many other seasoned professionals who are sharpening their skills and regularly book jobs and work as actors.
our actors are growing faster than ever, and booking more jobs than ever. Thank you all for making our school one of the most respected and successful in the industry.
Below is merely a partial list of the bookings and great accomplishments our students have made in ONLY THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. If I have forgotten any of the bookings/accomplishments, I am sorry – please let me know and I will post them in out next newsletter.
