Know Your Type, Define Your Niche

Show business is both show and business, and the actors who build lasting careers understand how the industry sees them. In this course, you learn how you are naturally cast, how to identify your casting categories, and how to embrace typecasting as an advantage rather than a limitation. We cover the qualities you cannot change, including your essence, your niche, and your personal brand, as well as the areas you can develop, such as your acting skills, likability, focus, passions, drive, and career plan, all while learning to market yourself within industry standards and still stand out from the crowd. Through class discussions, essence studies, on-camera exercises, personal assessments, and journaling, you get first-hand experience bringing your authentic self to both commercial and theatrical work. By the end of the course, you will be able to define your niche, present a clear and focused brand, and map out a practical path toward a sustainable career as the actor industry professionals think of when they need someone who can do what only you can do.
