Hey guys!!!

New news: Olivia Horoskho went in for a supporting role on the upcoming=20
feature film "Death Tunnel" and ended up reading for one of the leads in the=
 film!

The demand for First Take classes is growing every day...seriously guys, it'=
s=20
insane. Nancy's been teaching her method of working for about 3 years now an=
d=20
we are seeing just the beginnings of her students successes. Not only have=20
her students been able to make a smooth transistion from SF to the LA Market=
 (or=20
even work the LA Market from SF), but we've had students get their SAG cards=
=20
on major prime time shows like ER (Dwana White), book recurring roles on maj=
or=20
TV shows like ER and Dragnet (Kathy McGraw), book great roles on major budge=
t=20
feature films (Kathy McGraw, Bee Seasons; Hector Bustamonte, Hostage), plus=20
soooooo many students that have been called in and signed by LA theatrical=20
agencies. The results really testify to the method that First Take actors us=
e in=20
approaching acting. Even casting directors and agents want to AUDIT her=20
classes, because they want to know what makes her actors so darn competitive=
 in the=20
industry...

It looks like we may have *one* or *two* spots available for Nancy's next=20
evening SF class (April 13th) but we have a wait list going which you can ge=
t on=20
in the order we receive deposits for the class. (First Take does not cash yo=
ur=20
check until you actually get a spot.) Because of all the interest and demand=
=20
for Nancy's classes,=A0 we are going to start having people who want to get=20=
into=20
Nancy's class DIRECTLY (without taking the Intro to the First Take Method=20
Class) audition for a spot ...

Otherwise, we have spots available in the intro class that starts on March=20
28th (Sundays, from 6-9). The Intro class kind of primes you for Nancy's=20
classes. Most of us in Nancy's 8 week classes are continuing students (which=
 is why=20
there are only one or two spots that open up each session, if any...) and it=
=20
takes a while for people who aren't familiar with the way we work to get the=
=20
hang of it... even if you've had a lot of training in the past, we work real=
ly=20
differently than most schools. We'll be giving the people who are in the Int=
ro=20
class priority over anyone else. So I guess the hiearchy for spots in Nancy'=
s=20
class- if you can call it that - goes:

Continuing students (they have the first four weeks of class to hold their=20
spot)
Intro students that are ready to move on (they get the spots that are open,=20
if any)
Wait List people (who still need to audition)...

If you have not yet heard about our Film/Tv class, it is specifically geared=
=20
toward the Film and TV acting and audition process.=A0 Its main focus is to=20
teach actors of all levels to learn how to analyze scripts and make the audi=
tion=20
successful without prior rehearsal with a scene partner, just as it would=20
happen in an audition situation.

As a student, you will be challenged to look at scripts in a new way that=20
will help you to identify with them and make them more real for you.=A0 As y=
ou=20
progress through the class, we provide personalized coaching to help you imp=
rove=20
your audition skills.=A0 This is essential in that it will help you to learn=
 "How=20
to get the job!"=A0( career counseling, self-marketing, and networking advic=
e=20
dealing with the "in's and out's" of the Film and TV market ).

So if you are thinking about taking one of our classes or you want to come i=
n=20
and audit a class (or schedule an audition), please contact me! With the way=
=20
things are going, I'd do it sooner than later!!
