Becoming Famous in 2014 - Alex from Target

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/11/03/how-alex-from-target-became-an-unwitting-internet-superstar/



Ever since I started teaching comedy to teens, I have been a huge advocate of youtube channels. Want a career, start creating now. You create work showcasing your talents and you begin to market yourself to the world.

You don't really need a good camera. And you don't really need talent. Now making stupid 6-second videos can land you a TV or Film deal. Get a biog enough following on twitter, Vine, Youtube etc and you can sell tickets to your own shows, tshirts, ad space on your channels...

To many this idea seams bizarre and far fetched. For most it will be. But even those not getting famous over night, these tools develop talent and brand.

ABC - Always Be Creating!!!

Planning for College, Auditions, Classes - great Resources

PLAYBILL EDU - I just discovered this and thought I should share. Great resource for those planning college for an arts career.

PLAYBILL - Playbill is a great resource for keeping up with Broadway News and finding Auditions and other jobs in the arts. FREE casting notices.

BACKSTAGE - This is a subscription site. You can browse for free to a point. But when you are ready to be a working actor, join and go audition every week. Daily when possible. Finding work as an actor is not that different than any other job. You have to leave the house and go interview - we just do it with monologues and songs.

ACTORS ACCESS - Tons of paid film work. Eventually you need an agent, but you can find work in student films and non-union projects, Indy films and sometimes even get yourself cast on legit TV, Film and commercials. Free to browse. You have to pay to submit yourself. When serious, go ahead and pay for the annual breakdown submission service that allows you to submit w/o additional fees (usually $2/submission).

RESIDENCIES

We have teachers all over the area every week providing 10-30 students training in Improv Comedy. These students really become leaders at the school. Many big personalities need to find focus. But when they do, they are instoppable in the best possible way. At the end of each 6-15 week session the students are ready to perform a showcase at school. But far more than that they become class/school leaders and better students. They learn how to listen, create and process information. They engage in current events and the worlds. They face their fears and inhibitions and turn weaknesses into strengths. Some of our high school students have become interns and even full time professional company members. One of these students,. Bandon Ford (Queens Prep Academy) got a job teaching theater at a summer camp this year. Another, Noel Olivencia (Prep Academy for Writers) is now managing a food service business AND has appeared on MTV. 

We have current and past residencies at the following...
NEST+m Manhattan
The Summit School
JCC Manhattan
Queens Prep Academy
Flushing High School
Prep Academy for Writers
Renaisance High School (Harlem)
Gilda's Club Camp Sparkle
Broadway Comedy Club public classes for Kids and Teens

Don't take our word for it...
Regarding shows, workshops and residencies - Lisa Palotti (Speech Teacher) to John Renner (Principal) from Summit School Queens 


"Here's my report: OMG it was awesome! Truly one of the best activities I've ever seen take place here at Summit! We gave them a very large group of kids to work with, and they handled them wonderfully. The way that they related to the kids was terrific, and the activities they led worked on so many pragmatic language skills in SUCH an effective way, including increasing the kids' awareness of their bodies in space, body proximity, eye contact, voice, and generally how others perceive them from their non-verbal cues. They also did word association and one-word stories that involved verbal expression and required kids to follow a story line. Almost all of the kids looked like they were having a fantastic time, and it was an activity where the shy kids could get to interact with others in a very structured (hence comfortable) way. At the end I spoke to the three members of the improv group and raved about how great they were and told them the specific ways that the activities helped our students. They asked me a number of questions, such as regarding how to handle various students' behaviors, and we talked about upcoming activities."
