In a recent posting, I re-stated a fundamental belief of mine that actors must learn how to get themselves seen, by people who are in a position to help advance their careers, as “distinct individuals of unique and special talents, each deserving of respect and consideration”.
Every consultation I do with the actors who come in to see me deals mainly with this most vital issue – and I have written about it in many of my postings.
We discuss in detail the steps you, the actor, can take to better insure that the information you send out about yourself will actually get to, and be considered in the most advantageous way, by the proper people.
We discuss how you can make better use of the various methods and forms of sending out this information - your pictures, your resume, the general “attractiveness” of your presentation, the internet, etc. In short, what I feel are the ways to get a better response to what you are trying to tell people about yourself.
It is not that difficult, nor expensive, to learn. As I’ve seen in my years of experience, and often written about, the results can be career (and life) changing.

You sound like Tony Robbins! Are you the "Motivational Speaker to the Stars?" Hey, I would sign up to listen to you turbo charge my career but unfortunately I'm in North Carolina. Well, come out yonder this way and give us some of your advice!
Mr. Klass:
This sounds like excellent advice. As an actress, I know that the best way to be seen, heard, or noticed is for me to "take control" of my own situation! Working with talent and getting down to basics sounds like a great game plan. Many of us get (or attempted) to be RIPPED OFF by someone or company that promises to send out thousands of post cards, resumes, etc. The question is to whom and where do they send them? I once got a call from someone at Starbucks telling me that they had no job openings after they said they received my resume!!!! Wow, this company that I "hired" just randomly sent out my resume....to ANYONE! Talk about being ripped off!
