ARTICLE - Grease Some Palms!! + NOVEMBER BOOKINGS

Dear Fabulous Actors,

As a fellow Actor who has also been on the other side of the desk as a former Personal Manager for 9 years and CD and Director, I can honestly say that you need to take care of the people on your way up or you will see them on your way down! Nurture your relationships in this business folks. It is a fact that your reps work for free until you book. This season, make sure you take care of them! Make them feel appreciated for all of their hard work. If they are getting you out and you're not booking, well, that's not their fault.

I just recently worked on a set opposite one of my former clients and I've got to say, now that he's a star, I don't think he really remembered all those months that I kicked his ass in class to contribute to being that star. He is not the first one that I've experienced that with in our little community called Hollywood. When I put in a good word for an actor with an agent or manager, do you really think that they call me right away to tell me that they signed? Just last night in class I asked one of my students about this Manager that I had been putting in a good word to give her another chance, and she said, "Oh, I thought I told you. Yeah, I signed with her." How about those CD's that go to bat for you to meet the Producers? What about them? Are you nurturing that relationship or are you sending them Post Cards for them to call you in again? As we say in New York, "Grease some palms!" This is not a negative connotation. If my father wanted a good table in a popular New York Restaurant he would go over to the Maître 'd and put money in his palm and we would walk right through. Everyone was happy. That's how the Maître 'd make their money, that's how we got great tables and life moves on. Don't keep taking - there is an exchange. Look I don't expect my private students to call me after their coaching session to see if they booked the job - but I actually do care and I want to know. A lot say that they'll call, but they never do - that's not hurtful because we already did do an exchange. But, when I do give out my time and advise for free and don't get a return, I don't forget. Don't think for a second that casting or your reps forget how you might treat them as well. Take care of your people in the service industry. Don't forget to "Grease some palms!"


XOXO

DETAILS about TLTaccess.com!!!

There’s been a tremendous amount of buzz growing for our new members-only website, TLTaccess.com. It’s time we fill you in on some of the details!

Why did we create TLTaccess.com? Simply put, there aren’t enough Amy’s in the world! Thousands of actors have booked jobs and jumpstarted careers due to Amy Lyndon’s dedication to actors. However, she can only be in one place at one time, and before TLTaccess, she was maxed out. We were turning away actors from our private coaching and classes. We were sold out of books! We had to do something, something where we could give access to Amy Lyndon and her Technique at any time of the day or night, anywhere in the world!

We have succeeded.

With TLTaccess, you will have a direct connection to Amy’s award-winning Technique. It’s all there for you, a buffet of information that you can go back to again and again – something that would be prohibitively expensive should you try to learn it all through classes and coaching.

Here is what TLTaccess offers:

• Co-Star
• Exclusive Monthly Bulletin – A direct message from Amy that deals with the issues that YOU bring her
• Weekly Motivational Minutes – A motivational audio presented weekly to keep you recharged

• Exclusive Audio Lectures – More in-depth, these lectures are chock-full of detailed information so that you can gain control over the areas you may need growth
• Monthly Assignments – We challenge you to push yourself by giving our members assignments to complete on a monthly basis
• Series Regular
• Video Coaching – Watch one of Amy’s coaching sessions! Every month, a Member will be chosen to be personally coached by Amy, then YOU get to watch! Learn how to avoid bad habits and develop your booking skills
