THE GUEST SPEAKER SERIES CONTINUES!

G Charles Wright, Paulo Andrés, & Mimi Mayer
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
7:30 PM

Come join Agentum Photo Lab on May 22nd at 7:30pm – 9pm as we welcome three well known industry friends from three different backgrounds together at one time. Joining us will be Mimi Mayer -theatrical and commercial agent/owner of Angel City Talent , G.Charles Wright – long time TV/Film Theatrical Casting Director of Barylski/Wright Casting, and Paulo Andrés – Talent Manager of the recently merged Rothman / Patino/ Andrés Entertainment (formerly of LINK Talent Group).

The theme for the evening will attempt to answer through their experiences that quality and attitude that separates those actors that audition from those actors that actually book. There have been many talented actors who audition well but do not book. The pressure to perform and the character needed to persist and succeed through it is a unique one. They want to share with you why they think actors book and what makes them really successful - from booking one liners - to eventually booking series.

They will answer questions throughout the evening - and discuss how photos can set you apart from the rest.
