Update from Jagger

Fri Feb 22, 2008 3:28 am (PST)

I want to thank everyone for all the nice emails wishing me well with my family situation. When I get asked why I continue this service (for free) even during busy/trying times - its the incredible members and their support that make it a no-brainer.
I am headed back out at 9am but will try & access emails Fri eve. I think we will be caught up by then
Any emails sent to me will be answered by Saturday (I have a huge backlog)
Thank you again
Jagger

In the meantime do not forget about our upcoming industry events below ...

Hey all,
Here is info on our upcoming "Industry Events"
All our "industry events" are unique because I actually take the time to "prep" you on your copy/performance prior to meeting the guest. Several actors now have representation and were immediately called in for auditions.
All events include a one-hr prep where I help you get focused & prepared to showcase yourself best.

If you are interested in any of the below please email aac.seminars@gmail.com with the attendees name in the heading (please send separate emails for each):

Mon 3/10: Kevin McShane - Fifi Oscard (Commercial) at 6pm - $39
Kevin (co-owner of Fifi Oscard Agency) is back for his 4th event. Kevin is freelancing with several actors he met through me & told me he loves our events because they are so fun & he gets to see great people who are "ready" for a world in commercials
*** This is open to only those that have taken my Commercial Intensive (next one is Sun 2/24) ***

Sun 3/16: Lewis Chambers - Bethel Agency (Legit) at 5pm - $39
Lewis is back again. Lewis is the owner of The Bethel Agency a legit agency & Lewis is geniunly one of the nicest people in the industry. Lewis is what I call "one of the good ones" and truly loves actors. Lewis found several people he wants to work with at our last event.
*** This is open first to only past/current students of mine or those whose work I know ***

Mon 3/24: David Vaccari - Telsey & Co. (legit) at 6pm - $39
David is back for his second event and he called in several actors immediately for a national commercial audition from his first event. This time David will be focusing on Legit scenes. Telsey & Co. is one of the biggest casting companies in NYC and David's insight is invaluable
*** This is open first to only past/current students of mine or those whose work I know ***

Check out the comments below and see why what we do stands out:
Jagger,
Thank YOU for setting up such a wonderful event for us! I was very lucky to be there and had a great time. (And yes, the thank you note is in the mail, just like I promised!)
Good to hear that some of the group received some call-in promises.
I'm definitely looking to attend Vaccari's Legit event in March; I'd love to get in front of him to show him what I do best!
I'm definitely considering the Lewis Chambers/Bethel Agency event as well.
Be well and stay warm!
Kevin Sebastian

Jagger,
You reminded me to bring my personality and stop acting.
And David Vaccari liked it so much that he invited me to read for one of the commercials he's casting.
Timing? Sure.
The planets aligned just so? Uh...absolutely...
Great coaching? You bet.
Thanks Yoda.
Cheers,
Einar Gunn

Hey, Jagger! I want to thank you as well for the opportunity we had last night. There are always a lot of options for seminars and "meet and greets" with other companies, but I know that you genuinely care about your actors and wouldn't bring in someone just looking to make some quick cash. I will definitely be signing up for something like this again in the future. Thanks and best of luck!
