I attended the Performers Forum and learned a lot of valuable information. Sande Alessi covered topics such as headshots, resumes, self tape submissions, and personal stories of what to do & what not to do. Shayne Hartigan also shared his personal experience of how he started in the industry. He stressed the importance of just "showing up" and working hard. Network with others who have the same drive & passion to succeed. The guest speakers also had great stories and advice. It was great to meet and speak to the entire Alessi and Hartigan Team! Thank you for sharing your experience & insight to help elevate my son as a professional. I can't wait to attend your your next event! read more
