Hi Tony!Most people don’t even take the time to tell a person how to reach their goal. I want to thank you for everything and for responding to my messages. Sometimes I just test people to see if they really care about my career and you do. You can continue to send me some tips on how I can accomplish my goals, because you inspire me a lot. Thank you for caring.

Know Your Customers
"Who are your customers?
It is vital to know exactly to whom you are marketing your products and services. Many small businesses fail for this reason. They try and market to anyone and everyone, thinking that if they canvas the territory, they will have greater success. On the contrary. The more focused companies are in marketing to their target consumer, the more effective their efforts and the return will be on their advertising spending.
When I was working for Nike, I used to have customers who wanted to choose from our entire line of more than eight hundred models of shoes. We placed our shoes in the marketplace based on where consumers would go to find them. It didn’t make sense to place a lot of top-of-the-line shoes in stores whose consumers had extremely limited budgets.
This also happens on the Internet. People set up businesses and try and market to “the world,” thinking that their message will reach everyone. However, their marketing message or ad ends up being so generic that many people don’t feel like it speaks to them, and sales are thus limited. On the other hand, there are those who market to a tight niche. The tighter the better. When ads are written for those consumers, the messages hit home, because they are tailored specifically for them.
Your customers, the people who you sell your services to are probably among others:
· Casting directors
· Agents
· Casting director and agent assistants
· Producers
· Directors
· Playwrights
· Teachers you want to accept you into their school
· Others
Check out this page, to help you get a better idea and more information about who your customers are and could be.

Most Aspiring Actors Never Make It!
What you’re doing is great Anthony. Whenever I read the things on your site, the interviews and even your book, I feel like if only everybody got to read this before they got started, they would be so much better off and everybody else (casting directors, agents, directors, etc.) would be so much better off too.

Tony,
I want to say you changed my life. I want to be an actress so bad, but i began losing motivation when I couldn't figure out what to do. And then I found you! Thanks to you, I'm taking my first acting classes next month! Yippee!

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked you. I went to the auditions for a Drama course and I am happy to say that I have been accepted as a first-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology.
Please keep on sending me those newsletters and let me know where I can find books that will help me in my acting career.
Thank you once more.
Have a blessed day.
Sincerely
Edward Thaba -South Africa

Dear Anthony,
Just wanted to thank you for bringing me in to [audition for the video], meet you and chat this Saturday. I was really excited to hear about your working on actingcareerstartup.com and even took a look at it today - it's awesome! You are very well-spoken, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and it shows through the work that you do! I hope our paths in the industry will cross again and really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks, again and best wishes with your very important work!
Warmly,
Gretchen, NY, NY

Hey Tony, thanks for the info, yours by far is the most useful, I am 30 years old, and I myself always (secretly) wanted to be an actress, but I never knew where to begin, so thank you. You have given me hope!
