The Best Acting Class in Hollywood: Jack Plotnick Actor/Director rom "Ugly Betty"

My recommendation for a excellent acting class. Tell Jack, Marylin sent you. He is amazing. A real working actor, director and writer. He was a series regular on "Ugly Betty." "So, he's the best. Thanks I'll check him out with Bogie."



PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
1. RSVP now for a performing spot at: .  All rsvp's must go to that address.

2. In your rsvp, you are required to let me know approximately how long it's been since your last performance in my workshop (or whether it's your first time).
3. Make sure to tell me which workshop you are rsvp'ing for (or "either").


You will receive a confirmation email within a couple of days.  You may cancel with 24 hour notice.

It may be difficult to get a spot, and I am sorry for that. 
But the workshops are always FREE to watch, as often as you like.  
AND the first actors to arrive at 6pm get the spot of any no-shows, which happens at every class!  (However, if you only want to watch, there's no need to show up before 6:30.)
You can arrive late if you let me know in advance, and you can leave whenever you like.

"The Village at Ed Gould Plaza" - 1125 N. McCadden Place, Hollywood
One block East of Highland, just North of Santa Monica Blvd.
There are two parking lots across the street.  The larger one opens around 6:15.
We will be in room 209. Enter the courtyard, go into the building on the right and up the stairs.


There's nothing to prepare. Just show up and I'll give you sides to read, or you can bring anything you'd like to work on.
If you are coming to the workshop, I suggest that you read my free online book, "NEW THOUGHTS FOR ACTORS" at: http://www.jackplotnick.com/4.html 
Looking forward!
Jack

Why wait for audition to maybe get a line when you can be a lead or ensemble of a great team and have creative control?

Would you like to have this happen to you? Yes then let us know you want to be part of the new channel of artists to kick butt on line like: Los Angeles has the best talent in the world so join  Los Angeles artists now to create the best on the internet and win!!!

"The production company behind films like The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim, and Godzilla just made a significant addition to its digital portfolio. Legendary has acquired Geek & Sundry, the online video network run by Felicia Day.
Since 2012, Geek & Sundry–which originally launched as part of the YouTube Original Channels Initiative–has served as a home for nerd-friendly web series like Wil Wheaton’s TableTop, Bryan Singer’s Spooked, and, for its final season, Day’s The Guild. The network has also created a small community of vloggers who present their thoughts on various geeky subjects.

Seeking Geeks, artists, writers, actors, crew, directors and writers now: It is Elementary the key to success: Be part of a group and make it happen.

"Geek & Sundry will become an integral part of Legendary’s digital division, which also counts Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Channel among its assets. As part of the deal, Legendary will work with Day to create several scripted and non-scripted series that will roll out across digital and traditional media platforms. Those series will feature Day as both creator and star.
The film studio’s connection to top sci-fi and fantasy franchises makes it an ideal partner for Geek & Sundry and its army of nerds. In a press release, Day claims that Legendary “aligns authentically with my audience’s interests,” and she’s right. Legendary often leverages YouTube channels to help promote its upcoming films, and Geek & Sundry fits into that process well.

Animation mentorship for women is a new program by Women In Film.
The application is due soon so if you miss it mark your calendar for next year.


Dream, Create & do enjoy the sweet life" Marylin Hebert Good luck.
"Women in Animation has launched a pilot program in Los Angeles that'll match neophytes in the field with industry professionals for one-on-one mentorships lasting six months. 
The nonprofit organization states that the program is "designed to empower, educate and support mentees by increasing their industry knowledge and access to information through relationships with experienced animation talent."

Applications are due August 22, 2014, and the mentorships will run from October 2014 to March 2015. If this initial program goes well, WIA will consider offering similar initiatives elsewhere around the world.
"Mentoring is one of the principles at the heart of WIA's mission and vision," commented WIA Co-President Kristy Scanlan. “We are excited to launch the mentoring program and look forward to helping each participant develop the professional skills and knowledge she needs to succeed in the animation industry.”  Girls & women are rising in entertainment thanks to networking & help from great leaders in the entertainment field. We can all use a hand up the ladder!

According to Martha Lauzen's "Celluloid Ceiling" studies, animation remains one of the least female-friendly pockets in the film industry. 
To apply, visit the WIA mentorship page."

YouTube Kickstarter For Video Producers!

TubeStart is a new way to help video filmmakers make film with crowd funding support developed specifically for YouTube.
If you are a write, director, producer or actor now is the time to create and producer your videos, web series and films.
Finally, a place for creatives to be inspired to make their masterpieces or social media entertainment videos.
Campaigns for $500 - $500,000.00 or subscriptions for $5 or $150 monthly.
I believe that the 99 Cent model works well for I-tunes, eBooks and should be great model for video makers as well.
Since views are keys for advertisers, YouTube will connect the video maker directly with the fans. This is a real game changer.
Slated crowdfunding is for the advanced professional filmmaker with actor/director & producer attachments who have film box office credits.
Maker Studio is a online platform to watch out for and learn more about.

A great project and filmmaker on YouTube is fellinijr. Fellinijr is an award winning filmmaker whose comedies have placed top 50 in Project Green Light and top 5 for CBS.
Check out some up and coming rising stars on YouTube:
"The Bachelor" & "Chopped" then you'll love "Recipe For Love."
