Agency Holiday Schedule

Many of you have asked what our schedule will be like for the holiday season SO here is our schedule....

We will maintain our normal hours through Friday December 18th.

The week of Christmas and the week of New Years (12/21-1/1) we will be in and out of the office as needed, therefore there will NOT be someone at the agency during normal office hours. We will be checking our emails daily and any emergency phone calls can be made to our cell phones.

We will resume our normal office hours on Monday January 4, 2010.

If you have any questions feel free to email either of us.

EVALUTIONS:
In preparation for another great year we have scheduled the mandatory evaluation. The evaluation will give us a chance to get re-acquainted, see who has improved on their acting skills, and who needs to update photos.

Note: If I do not hear from you about the evaluation I will assume that you have made the decision to take a break from the business or have chosen a different path. You will then be categorized as inactive.

See below the date(s) and time(s) for the evaluations. Be sure to RSVP.
Children and Teens
Monday January 18, 2010
Note: Please RSVP – you may request a morning or an afternoon slot

Actors/Models ages 20 & Up:
Wednesday January 27, 2010 – times will all be in the afternoon
Note: RSVP for a specific time slot

All evaluations will take place at J Pervis Talent Agency: 260 W. Pike Street, Lawrenceville, GA 30046

To adequately evaluate your skills and marketing material bring your headshot with resume attached and/or composite card. Non-readers should prepare a mini-commercial (10 – 30 seconds). All others should prepare either a 30 – 60 second commercial OR a 60 second monologue.

Please treat this as an actual audition and be 100 % prepared! I have attached a self-evaluation form. Please complete and bring it to the evaluation. If you would like feedback please have a self-addressed stamped envelope for a copy of the form to be sent back to you.

WEBSITE INFORMATION


If you are currently on the website:
To renew your individual page on the J Pervis Talent website a renewal fee of $55 must be received in our office no later than January 1st. This fee covers unlimited headshot, resume, and demo updates for 2010. Send all updates for the resumes to info@jpervistalent.com. To update the headshots send a CD to the office in jpg format. There will be a 15 day grace period for all payments not received by January 1st. The late fee after January 1st is $20 (total $75), due by January 31st.

Send an updated resume with a CD of your jpg headshots to J Pervis Talent Agency along with your initial set-up fee of $85.00. Note: There will be an annual renewal fee due each January. Allow approximately 30 days for headshots and resumes to be uploaded on the website.

Actor's Slate

Many talent have asked about the "Actor Slate" Below is information on how to get one. This is a great tool for all ages to use so that clients can get a feel for you as a person prior to bringing you in for an audition. This is especially beneficial for the kids & teens that don't yet have reels. I highly recommend looking into this service.

Have a great weekend everyone!
Jayme
I know many of you talent have a profile on Actor's Access, which is a service of Breakdown Services. I've been asked to help get the word out to produce a "general interview" of you on Actor Slate. This is the first look casting directors often have of you.

Actor Slate is coming to Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta and Nashville to shoot in October. Here are the dates:

Raleigh - October 14 & 15.
Charlotte - October 16 & 17.
Atlanta - October 19 & 20
Nashville - October 21 & 22

Pretty much everything you need to know about Actor Slate is on the website, where you can also schedule and book an Actor Slate shoot session.

Web Address: http://actorslate.chelseastudios.com

Some important things to know.

- The cost is $175.00. To shoot, edit and host on the Breakdown Services and Actors Access networks. Personal copies of both the 60 second Actor Slate that appears on Breakdown Services and Actors Access, and the Actor Slate Deluxe, a longer version of between 2 - 4 minutes are available for additional cost. Most actors are purchasing one or both of these for use on their own websites, for direct submission purposes and for uploading to popular video sites like Youtube and Facebook and lots of others.

- Chelsea Studios, is the exclusive producers of Actor Slate for Breakdown Services. There may be other people around offering to shoot an "Actor Slate" (they happen to own the trademark to the name) or some similarly named product. But only those produced by them will appear on the Breakdown Services and Actors Access networks. So they are the real deal, shooting the genuine Actor Slate.

- The professional talent business, that is the day to day commerce of casting actors for movies, TV, commercials, music videos, etc., use Breakdown Services nearly exclusively around the world to do their work. They have over 90% of this business. So while there are lots of good sites for actors to join to help you with your career and to help look for acting work, the truth is relatively very few people involved in the day to day work of hiring and paying actors are looking at those sites. On Breakdown Services, your Actor Slate is available 24/7/365 at the click of a link to the talent industry when they really need to see it, as they are doing the real work of casting professional actors for professional work.

NOW REDUCED $100 for TALENT REPRESENTED BY AN AGENT - ONLY $250! PLEASE PASS ALONG TO YOUR ACTORS:


INTERMEDIATE HABER FILM/TV AUDITION INTENSIVE!
OCTOBER 1 -29

TAUGHT BY BOB HARTER

This Intensive course is designed for trained actors who have some audition experience.

As professional actors, we often audition and work on projects that don't necessarily challenge the full spectrum of our talents. You may be comfortable with industrials, commercials, and voice-over but fall apart when you audition for a film. With the increase of film and television in production in Georgia, now more than ever, Atlanta talent needs to be ready for Hollywood auditions.

In this Intermediate Intensive, actors work with film and television scripts, learning how to nail the audition in a limited amount of time. The focus is on the nuts and bolts of breaking down a scene, including relationship, intention, history, opening and closing beats, core and masking. Using the skills you learn will greatly improve your audition skills. This valuable cold-reading technique works.
atie Cofield wrote about the last Intermediate Intensive, which Della taught:

Of all the wonderful things I learned in this class, the most important, seemingly obvious, trick was. . . how to hold the page! It's such a wonderful image, thinking of bridging the gap between yourself and the other person in the conversation using the page!

I thoroughly enjoyed Della's comments on our work. So many teachers give you "That was nice" or "That could have been better". And that's not helpful. Della's specificity of critique is great and so constructive!

The creating of the relationship and remembering that it's the most important thing really works for me, and it was so much more fun to act when I was really connected to the other person in the scene. It made everything fall into place and forced me into just relating honestly at all moments. It made all of my creation of history actually mean something, and made my need in the scene even more important when I was fully locked in to the relationship.

I really liked it when the class doubled up and we had two classes a week. I felt like more was sinking in each class because we had the opportunity to practice with greater frequency in a shorter amount of time.

This class was SUCH a gift! I had several auditions during the weeks of class, and I could tell such a difference- my confidence that I really knew what to do had skyrocketed! For me, it was also such a relief to remember to trust myself and just play. Thank you!!!

The Paint Shop

Below is information on an upcoming class. This is all of the information I have. IF you are interested please direct any and all questions to Creative Studios. Thanks! Jayme


"The Paint Shop"
A Children's Film Acting Program for ages 6 - 13 with Renée Ford Clark.

Renée Ford Clark joins the CSA Film Academy as an acting coach. Formerly a successful teacher of children with the Academy of Cinema and Television, Renee will teach commercial and film acting techniques to kids and tweens after school.

The Paint Shop program will run from September 7 to December 15. The program will bring out your child's special gifts for acting and prepare them for the business, all in a fun and nurturing environment. The program includes: - Commercial Acting, Audition techniques, Improvisation for Camera and Film.

Students will learn the basics of perfecting specific characters for commercials while establishing the foundation to build solid acting skills for film. They will learn how to slate, memorize quickly, master the cold read and get to the "next level" of commercial auditioning.

During The Paint Shop's Improv segment, students work on their listening and quick decision making skills and focus on being spontaneous, while "agreeing and proceeding" with others to make a scene work. The exercises presented help actors get to the truth of relationships in and easy and fun way whether working alone, with a partner or in a group.

The film segment trains young actors about the elements of filmmaking as well as how actors fit in the the filmmaking process. Actor's perform for the camera (which varies from stage performance), and students gain an understanding of how a film set operates.

The Schedule:
14 CLASSES FROM Sept. 7 - December 15, 2009

Mondays: 6-8 year olds BEGINNERS 4:00-5:30pm
Tuesdays: 6-8 year olds INTERMEDIATES 4:00- 5:30pm
Wednesdays: 9-13 year olds BEGINNERS 4:00-6:00pm
Thursdays: 9-13 year olds INTERMEDIATES 4:00-6:00pm

ABOUT RENESS FORD CLARK:
Renée Ford Clark is an actor, model and acting instructor. Originally from New York City Renee has appeared in many feature films including Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion, ATL, The Gospel as well as the blockbuster hit, The Secret Life of Bees.. Prior to moving to Atlanta, Renée trained and acted on the stage in New York. Her acting training in Atlanta includes The Alliance Theater and The Chez Group. Renée has been teaching acting to children for over five years. She has a child's heart and infinite patience and understands the special sensitivities of working with children. She has a particular skill in drawing out each child's unique gift and instilling confidence and a "can-do" attitude.

Here's what parents have to say about "Miss Renee":

"I appreciate your support and encouragement for my son, Mark. It is wonderful to have positive people in your children's lives that they admire and will actually listen to. I can tell you are passionate about what you do." Georgia Nations

"The help you gave Danielle was what she needed to fine-tune her monologue. And the comments she received from the agents reinforces that belief. Thanks for your help." Julie Van Buren

"Grace said she had a 'Grrrreat time" with you. You were very productive with her and I really appreciate that. You have a great way with kids. I admire that." Cindy Patrick

Just like most happy couples, the Howells have grown accustomed to their mundane lifestyles, together and yet completely alone. But the desire to feel important in a world all too happy to pass you by finally takes its toll on Terrell.
Thrown out of his routine in one random instance, Terrell soon confronts something he is totally unprepared for: Joy.
With Joy in his life Terrell finally feels wanted again. The only problem is his lack of routine is making Nancy suspicious. But could this unusual affair be just the thing to save the Howell’s marriage?

We will be casting the following child roles:

Jacob Howell: An adorable Caucasian 3-6 year old boy- who is outgoing and can take direction.

Mathew Howell: A Caucasian 8-11 month old boy who can say “dada”

"Hey there! I just wanted to let you know I was cast in a role for the upcoming film 'Blind Side' starring Sandra Bullock. I have to say it was one of the tips you gave in the audition class that helped me get the part. I had them laughing in the callback and the Casting Director told me I did a great job. Thanks for your insight into the quirks of casting and what can help a person stand out in the crowd. -- Stacey Turner

Meisner for Film -- NEW CLASS STARTING SATURDAY JULY 11TH FROM 11-2!!

Sanford Meisner is one of America's Master Acting Teachers. Meisner created a series of exercises for actors that he refined for over 50 years at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. For Meisner, his approach was designed "to eliminate all intellectuality from the actor's instrument and to make him a spontaneous responder to where he is, what is happening to him and what is being done to him."

Meisner Training is an interdependent series of exercises that build upon one another. Meisner students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop "moment-to-moment" spontaneity, which allow actors to move beyond the printed script and address the underlying emotional and philosophical themes of the script.

Some people Meisner trained include: James Caan, Steve McQueen, Robert Duvall, Gregory Peck, Bob Fosse, Diane Keaton, Peter Falk, Jon Voight, Jeff Goldblum, Grace Kelly, James Doohan, Kim Basinger, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, James Gandolfini, David Mamet, Arthur Miller and Sydney Pollack.
