Private Consultations & Coaching

Image Consultations

Overview:

An Image Consultation is the perfect beginning to a successful acting career. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been acting for years, we’ll help you to fully understand who you are in the eyes of the industry and where your strengths lie. We’ll define your image, your type and your essence. And, we’ll focus in on what make you unique. Knowing this is the key to “being yourself” in both your acting and your marketing.

Have you ever wondered what people’s first impressions are when they see you on camera or in a room? You’ll know for certain after one of our image consultations. Armed with this information, we’ll help you to “package” yourself more clearly and help you start to act like a truly unique master of the craft.

It is nearly impossible to be objective with yourself, which is why an image consultant is so important. We recommend it for every actor, no matter what your level. It’s what we’re known for, and it’s the foundation of all that we do.

Acting Coaching

Overview:

Acting Coaching includes private audition and on-set coaching. It’s where the rubber meets the road in your acting career. It’s one thing to have a good grasp of yourself as a product but it’s a complete other thing to bring that to your work. It’s been said many times, it’s Show Business, it’s “show and business.” Private acting coaching focuses entirely on the show part of the business. It’s all about being the best actor you can be!

Hollywood is where the greatest in the actors reside… and that’s your competition. You need to be at “Olympic athlete” level in order to compete in this town. Even if you’re not in LA, you still need to set the standard for what top level acting should be. Mark is a master at helping actors work on that level and, more importantly, at bringing yourself to the role. And, that’s the key to being an A-list actor!
