I’ll be back in Melbourne this coming Friday morning after just over a week in Sydney, during which I enjoyed a huge Thanksgiving celebration. Love those pumpkin pies!  The film I’m working on started shooting on Monday, so I’m helping them stay on track with their dialects via phone as they are deep on location outside Melbourne.  Thank god for technology.

The newsletter for December is almost ready.  Running a bit late due to my Sydney trip.  There will be, as usual, some interesting articles to help actors further their careers, as well as news on developments for the New Year that many of you really need to know about to help yourselves get where you want to be.  If you haven’t signed up to receive the eBrief, the button to do so is on the right hand side of the website. Subscribers to the eBrief list also become eligible for special deals as they come up.

It’s such an important time of year for creative people in all areas, but especially actors as it’s their Busy Season, including connecting with the work in overseas projects (particularly the American TVCs). If you’re an actor, and not feeling this, then maybe you need a Career Boost session to help you get back on track and start booking more auditions and work.  My private session list is very limited at the moment due to my other commitments, but slots are available if you allow a couple of weeks advance notice.  Skype/phone sessions are much easier to arrange, but can’t be done for any time slots over 1 hour, so please bear that in mind. (BTW, heavy discounts available through until the New Year for eBrief subscribers.)

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR:         COMMUNICATION is the key to finding work.  They need to know you exist, and they need to hear from you in APPROPRIATE ways.  I’ll be covering this in greater detail in this month’s eBrief.  Bad communication lets a lot of actors down – excellent communication can open networking doors like you wouldn’t believe.  ”It’s not what you know, but who you know,” is not just a saying, it’s way to get work!  Communicating properly is the way you get to know the people who can help you do this.
