Where will you be this time next year?
Have you got dreams for your acting career? What are you doing to get there?
Are your New Year’s acting resolutions already feeling out of reach? You even set your sights on some realistic acting goals, but a few weeks in and you’re feeling doubtful you’ll ever get there. Don’t worry because The Actor’s Scene has got your back!
We at TAS know that this career can be tough, intimidating, and indeed overwhelming at times which is why we are focusing on your goals for next year. Let’s look at where you could be next year and what you can do now to get there.
The deadline to register for classes this year is January 25th. Read on to find out how to register, or how you can audit a class for FREE!
"While nearly half of Americans make New Year's resolutions, only about 25% of people actually stay committed to their resolutions after just 30 days, according to Columbia University. And even fewer, less than 10%, accomplish their goals."
By this time next year, you could book real work in the industry!
We know students need to learn not only how to act on-camera or on stage but also how to navigate this wild industry. That’s why each class combines acting lessons with camera or stage specific techniques and industry information. Students will discover things like: preparing and taping industry standard auditions, researching local agents and casting directors, and paying attention to what’s happening in the Southeast film area. With class discussion time they are also taught why it’s important to know all of this information which gives our students the skills to navigate the industry with ease and book more roles!
If you just look at our recent post on Feature Friday (found monthly on Facebook or Instagram) you’ll see numerous examples of how this knowledge helps our students right away. For instance, take TAS students: Audrey Lyn Marie and Devyn Millsap. They are just two examples out of many who have booked industry work recently. Audrey Lynn-Marie had a co-star role in the new Lifetime movie “Don’t Let Him Find You” or student Devyn Millsap who had TWO recent bookings; a Winter Beach Club commercial and the “Wild Robot Egg Drop Challenge” on Peacock.
By this time next year you could have an acting career!
Sometimes you need a little extra help with your audition tapes or want to focus on a specific aspect of your acting career. TAS also has taping services and private lessons to help you! Our taping equipment and set up is top notch and with the help of our trained taping coaches your auditions will be of the highest quality. You can book a private coaching session with one of our talented coaches to work through tough or important auditions. You can also book a bundle of private lessons to really focus on what you need to do to enhance your personal career.
At TAS, we are not just an acting school; we are a place to identify and achieve your dreams! A big part of this is through acting training, but we strive to provide our students with knowledge, tools, and opportunities.
By this time next year you could be signed with an agent!
Signing with an agent is a HUGE step in an actor’s career and we have made it easier to do so here at TAS. All of our on-camera based class students also get to participate in Showcase. Showcase is an opportunity for our students to perform for agents, casting directors, managers, and production companies who are looking to sign eager actors. This is HUGE! In fact that’s how many of our students get an agent or book their first project. Students have a chance to not only sign with agents from our market here in the Southeast, but also with agents from LA, New York, the Midwest, and several places in between. Instead of going through the traditional process of submitting and waiting our students get the chance to show their talents to multiple agents at once!
By this time next year you could be in a community of like-minded creatives.
This is the beauty of our 32 week classes. You get knowledge, understanding, and skills; yay! But you also get a community. Week after week you will work with the same coach and students, learning and growing together. Remember, this industry is tough and it is so important to have a support group that will not only encourage you when you’re down, but also celebrate your wins with you, and keep you focused and guided towards your goals. Just look at what this parent said about a couple of our coaches:
Christy Shubert: Aaron’s mom from Creator’s Lab: “There have been a few times where the class as a whole needed to be given constructive criticism, and I think Coach Leah’s approach to that is spot on. She acknowledges the kids’ successes first, but also reminds the students that a part of growth in the industry is learning how to take constructive criticism in order to improve. Even in needing to call out a course correction, Leah leads with professionalism and curiosity first and foremost. Challenging situations offer opportunities for growth and development. Aaron’s [very smart!] brain has been sufficiently engaged and challenged in this class through the help of Adam and Leah’s knowledge, expertise, and leadership! We love and appreciate you guys so much!”
By this time next year, you could be a more confident YOU!
To be a successful actor you need all the things already mentioned: a support group that will be honest with you, knowledge of the industry, skills in acting, understanding camera/stage technique. But to really make it in this industry you need confidence. That’s what TAS is all about! What better way to showcase our motto of ‘Confidence Makers’ than with some awesome quotes from our students or parents of students:
Parent Megan Ross of Callie Ross in On Camera Foundations with Rick: “Every time that Callie comes out of class she is so excited to tell me what she learned…Coach Rick has been great! Callie feels like she has a good connection with him and he always makes her feel good about her abilities.”
Jiyun “Quinn” Shim’s mom Meg about On Camera Foundations with Adam: “We are absolutely thrilled with how the class has been going for Jiyun! It’s been incredible to see how the sessions inspire her and bring out her creativity and confidence. She genuinely enjoys every aspect of the learning experience, and it’s been wonderful to watch her grow and develop new skills.”
Carol Terry in Kristi’s Adult Improv Foundations class: I’m loving my time at the actor scene, gaining more confidence and knowledge with the nuances of improv. I’m very thankful for the feedback I’ve received from Coach Kristi, Coach Rick, and Coach Molly big shoutout to them they have really helped me grow! I appreciate all that you guys do and I’m very thankful for the time and care you’ve provided us students. I’m very happy to be a student of the actors scene!!
