To Tony,
I have to say this is the best acting site i have EVER been to. I'm sure you have helped many people begin their dream!
I've helped in advertising your site to over 38 of my aspiring actor friends.
You are doing an amazing thing by helping these people.
I wish you the best in your acting career so that you may be a role model for all those who look up to your sucess.

Anthony,
Happy New year to you. I really enjoy your e-mails and your website. As someone who has just started the journey of becoming an actor I enjoy your site which is full of wonderful insights and answers to questions I have had, and it's funny but it seems as though every time you update your site, it answers a question I have been struggling with at that point.
Thank you for your website, you have helped me a lot as I know you have helped numerous others.
Have a wonderful 2008 and may you break a leg in everything you do this year as an actor.
Sam T Kelly, actor, Los Angeles, CA

Tony,
I just wanted to let you know that I copied a quote of your's and I'm putting it on my refrigerator when I move to L.A. this next week. Thanks for the continued encouragement to all of us trying to achieve our goals. Keep up the good work.
Best,
Kyle S., actor

This site has taught me a lot that I needed to know without dragging me all over the place.

Listen to my 3 minute welcome message!
How would you like to work from home instead of going to work everyday on someone else's schedule? If you arrived at this page, it’s probably not by chance. Are you looking to improve your financial situation and your quality of life? If so, that’s good, because it means you’ve come to the right place.
If that is true, go down to the bottom of the page and fill in the form to start receiving a free 7-Day Ecourse on how you can start to Work From Home.
Not sure yet? Ok. Just read on and look at the facts about how the world has changed.
The Facts
I was referred to an article in the November 16, 2006 issue of Newsweek that says that roughly 45 million Americans, which equates to about 25% of the U.S. work force, have their own business. Here’s a quote from that article:
“Today roughly 45 million Americans, about 30 percent of the labor force, run their own business. Sometime during their careers, well over half of university graduates will start a business. Most Americans today work in firms that have entrepreneurial teams in charge. And most U.S. job growth and new technology comes from entrepreneurial companies… America is unique in the world, a nation rebuilding itself on the principle of entrepreneurial capitalism.”
Here’s another fact. The Institution of World Statisticsreports that in 2007 there are some 1.33 billion internet users in the world today!
Now, if we think that fifteen years ago, the work from home concept and the internet was no where near what it is now and if we have gotten to this point today, what does that tell you about the future?
That’s right! There will be even more people doing the same thing?
Why Do It To Yourself When You Could Work From Home?
Why work 40, 50, 60 hours per week, and even work some weekends if you don’t have to? And more importantly, what are you giving up by continuing to work as you are when you could work from home? Think about this.
· Don’t get to spend as much time with the family as you want?
· Can’t always get to the kid’s after school activities.
· Can’t afford to take the family on that nice vaction that you would like to take them on.
· Still can’t afford that house you’ve been wanting to buy.
· Still fighting for the benefits you think you deserve.
· Just plain tired of working for someone else’s success while they pay you peanuts.
· OR, you don’t have time or maybe its that you don’t have the money, or both to pursue your life long dream.
I quit my corporate job 5 years ago and have created for myself a more satisfying quality of life now. I work from home on my own schedule to prepare my activities outside. I didn’t quit because I didn’t like the company, I quit so that I could have the time to do the things I wanted to do more. Now, after years of dreaming about it, I can say that I am an actor, author and motivational speaker.
What is it that gave me the financial flexibility and the time to be able to set up my new businesses? What is it that gives me the peace of mind to know that I no longer have to “work” because I have to, but because I “want” to? It’s the work I created right out of my own home.
I used to be sceptical until I tried it. And now I know it works.
Change With The Times
Like I said, the concept of working 9-5 is becoming antiquated. You can become antiquated with it or you can do something to move along with the trend of the rest of America. You could work from home. It’s totally up to you.
Today, I have created a base to work from home through the internet and that's how I fuel my main activities, which are pursuing my acting and hosting career, writing and promoting my speaking business through the opportunity I created for myself, which allows me to work at home. Not only is it great to work from home, but I don’t have to work nearly as hard to make the extra money! In just two to three hours per day, I make just as much as some people make working full-time. So why don’t I work more? Because that’s all the money I need right now.
Would you like to see exactly how I do it? Just fill in the form below with your name and a valid email address and I will send to a page that tells you how I got started creating the flexibility I needed to pursue my dreams. And that’s not all. I will also send you 5-day Ecourse that will give you all the information you need to get started right away to create the flexibility and the extra income each month that you need to fuel your dreams.
By the way, I hate spam and spammers! Your privacy is of utmost importance to you. That is why I will ask you to confirm your e-mail address so I can be sure it is really you who sent in your address. I will not, under any circumstances give your information to anyone for any reason.
Of the 45 million people who run their own businesses, it is estimated that 38% of them or 17.1 million people run some part of their business using a computer in a work from home mode. It is further estimated that of the 17.1 million, 72% make a living in a 100% work from home mode. That's more than 12 million people! That number, as you can imagine, is continuing to rise. The question is, if you keep working like you are, will you ever be able to create for yourself the time and the finances to pursue what it is that your really and truly want?
Fill out this form. In the meantime, start to think about what it would be like to work from home and I’ll wait for you on the other side.
See you on the other side!

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked in October 2007. 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

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!

Hi, I’m John.
You answered a question for me about two weeks ago about how to write my cover letters…I want you to know your advice was helpful. I got called in for a part as an extra in my first movie! It’s not big, but it’s my first one! Thanks for your help!
