Show Business 101: The Business of Acting
Barbara Niven says that she is living proof that
it IS possible to make a living doing what you love! She has been
a working actor for over twenty years, shooting eighteen films plus
several TV guest star roles in the last three years alone. In a time
when negativity is the norm, she is blessed to be working almost
non-stop. And since she’s constantly asked, “What do you do that’s
different?” she has finally decided to share her secrets.
In this interactive talk or workshop, Niven explains why most actors are not great
at the BUSINESS of acting! “They sit back and wait for the phone to
ring, blaming someone else because they don’t have a career,” she says.
You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't know how show
business really works and use it to your advantage, your odds of having
a career go way down.
In addition to her many TV and film appearances, Barbara served for
three years on the National Board of Directors of the Screen Actors
Guild.
Whether you’re brand new or already a working actor who wants to
increase bookings, she’ll show you how to
be the C.E.O. of your career, and to ACT as If! it’s already
happening, until it is!
