Dear Tony,
Just a short hello to say that I have been reading your weekly site and wanted to let you know that I recently enrolled in an acting school in Arizona and found a way to pay for it by letting go of the want's and the not need's. Thank's so much for your insight into a common dilemma that is faced by actor's just starting out and for your most practical and common sense approach to acting.

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.

A Free Websites Directory For Actors:
If You Have Little Money,
Here’s A List Of 20 Possibilities To Build Your Presence!
A Free Websites Directory The Importance Of Fans It’s 2007 and if you haven’t figured it out yet, if you want to be a successful actor, you need three things: talent, business skills and fans! That’s right. Fans! The more fans you have, the more likely you are to get cast. Why? Because producers know that if they cast you, your fans will pay to come see you at the movies or in the theatre or they will tune in to watch you on television. In this day and age, there’s no excuse for an actor not to have some sort of web presence. The magnitude of your presence might depend on how much money you have. But just maybe! No matter if you have a lot of money or a little, you can build yourself a site. Here below is a list of free websites for actors. I included Myspace and Youtube, just in case someone hasn’t already discovered them. But there are so many others as well. In fact there are more than the ones listed here, but I just want you to get the message, that you should do something to get yourself on the web. And do it now! Have a look at these links and start to figure out how you will set up your presence and more importantly, start to create your image and your voice. Start to create what you want to project. Have fun! |
The following sites in this free websites directory offer the possibility to create a web presence by either creating a blog or free space to post photos, your own content, videos, any of them or all of them. They also offer the possibility to create a list of people, friends, connections and generally just network. The great thing about it all is that the more interesting your space, content, video is, the more people will share it with others. That means that you become even more well-known, you have created presence and you have created your fan club! From there it can only grow. And all these sites are free! But just remember, they are free, so whereas you can make a pretty good presence for yourself and get yourself a lot of recognition, they are free, so you can’t expect a whole lot in terms of image and quality.
So there you have it. If you really don’t have much money or if you like the ideas you see here below, go for it! There’s no excuse for not doing anything! So get started!

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

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!
