Hey guys -=20

I gotta just say how much I love our school...and not just because I'm in it=
!=20
:-) We have a method that really works...we see it working every week from=20
the students that are getting work and making the inroads into the LA market=
.=20
This week alone, we have eight people being considered for a well respected=20=
LA=20
theatrical agency AND Nan Dutton, casting director for CSI:Miami came to AUD=
IT=20
one of First Take's classes.

This is a little bit of competitive Giovannie coming out (;-)), but the only=
=20
time I get really nervous at film/tv auditions is when I see another First=20
Take student on the sign-up sheet. I kid you not....because I know that Nanc=
y=20
teaches us not only how to rock our acting chops, but she also teaches us th=
e=20
discipline to work the scene and the business side of things.

The halfway point for our SF night class is coming up soon and we are going=20
to start holding auditions for any spots that become available when we open=20=
up=20
registration to new students. The auditions are happening in San Francisco o=
n=20
Tuesdays between 5-7. If you are interested, you can come audit a class and=20
audition for a spot in the class on the same day...or you can just schedule=20=
a=20
time to strut your stuff.

Our little school is getting big time accolades from the top casting=20
directors and agents in the market that really counts - Los Angeles. It's pr=
etty wacky=20
- rumors are that we have more people in our SF classes that work regularly=20
in the LA Market than most of the LA acting classes down there. And hey - if=
=20
you can rock the LA Market whose standards are super high, then the SF marke=
t=20
will love you as well, you kind of shoot two birds with one stone!

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=
 so=20
quickly in the industry...

Because of all the interest and demand for Nancy's classes,=A0 we are going=20=
to=20
start having people who want to get into Nancy's class DIRECTLY (without=20
taking the Intro to the First Take Method Class) audition for a spot ...

The hiearchy for spots in Nancy's class- if you can call it that - goes:

Continuing students (they have the first four weeks of class to hold their=20
spot)
Returning Students (that are already used to the First Take method)=20
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!!
