TLTaccess.com - What is it, and what are you going to do for me?

Hello to all of you TLT Newsletter subscribers, Tweeple, Facebook Groupies, clients, students, and fellow industry colleagues! As many of you know, I recently launched a brand new actor resource/training site called www.TLTaccess.com, and the feedback has been incredible! Yet a lot of people have requested me to provide a "bullet-point breakdown" of exactly what TLTaccess is and how it can benefit them. So, here it is!

1) What Is TLTaccess.com?
 TLTaccess is a comprehensive actor resource and training site with the purpose of getting actors work. Plain and simple, every thing we do is focused on helping actors move to the next level in their careers. The team behind TLTaccess brings over 60+ years of both acting and marketing experience to the table. Members get access to the resources and training that Amy Lyndon normally charges $100+ an hour for. Amy is the founder of The Lyndon Technique (one of Backstage's Best of LA) and wanted to be able to provide the quality of her private teaching to any actor anywhere - even on a budget. So here's what's included in TLTaccess.com Membership
  • Exclusive Monthly Bulletin – A monthly message direct from Amy that addresses the daily issues that actors face.
  • Weekly Motivational Minutes – A motivational audio presented weekly to keep you excited about being an actor!
  • Members-Only Forum – We provide a community of like-minded actors, where you can ask anything from a recommendation about headshots to information about a particular casting office. Imagine - answers to your questions are right in front of you, given to you by industry pros!
  • Articles and Archives – Every one of our informative newsletters, articles, and bulletins will be posted here for you to browse and download. Learn how to make a demo reel, or network without feeling like a schmuck.
  • Video Lecture Series – Amy sits down on camera and gives mini-lectures on topics ranging from waiting in the outside office to audition tips and formatting your resume.
  • Exclusive Audio Lectures – More in-depth, these lectures are chock-full of detailed information to help you gain control over your career and push through the obstacles that are in the way of your success.
  • Monthly Assignments – We challenge you to push yourself by giving our members assignments to complete on a monthly basis
  • Video Coaching – One TLTaccess Member is chosen every month for a Private Coaching Session ($100+ value) and then YOU get to watch Ms. Lyndon apply the 15 Guideline Map To Booking Technique first hand!
  • Industry Interviews – We at TLTaccess sit down for exclusive interviews with agents, managers, casting directors, and other industry professionals. Recent example: Ken Jacobson, manager to Ben Foster and career-starter of James Franco and Juliette Lewis.
  • Interactive Marketing Calls – Once a month, we host a teleconference where we cover a specific marketing concept, followed by a Q+A. Then, we post them for you to download!
  • Referrals, Resources and Discounts – Amy keeps a rolodex of people that she trusts. Now, you can have access to her "inner circle" of contacts and Members-Only discounts. 
As you can see, there are a TON of resources available, and ANY actor can afford them and access them anywhere. No other company is doing anything like this, and even our competitors charge as much as 3 or 4 times more.

2) Why Should I Join? or What Are You Going To Do For Me?
Good question! You should join if you believe knowledge gives you the power to change. See, we believe every actor works hard, but few work smart. Do you want 2011 to look different from 2010? Are you tired of getting lots of auditions but never booking? Do you feel stuck? Did you expect our career to be farther along than it is? Ever wonder why actors who are not as good as you have a better career than you? Are you this close to quitting because you're frustrated by feeling that you're never going to make it? If you answered yes, MAKE THE FREAKIN' MOVE! Do something different! Because with a list of resources like the one above, every question can be answered.

Literally. In the Forum, you can get every question answered by Amy or her staff. About everything.

Here's what we WON'T do for you - the work. We can give you all the tools, resources, and personal attention, but you've got to be willing to use it and work your business. What we will do for you is provide everything you need to work smart. We will personally make ourselves available and at your fingertips. but you have to take the first step.

Are you ready to make a change? Then join www.TLTaccess.com

Our Gift To You!

Hello Fabulous Actors!

Justin Turner here, the TLT Marketing Director, and I'm writing you to wish you Happy Holidays and give you a gift! Well, actually, inspire you to give yourself a gift...

This gift is the gift of Permission & Celebration. Looking back at the year of 2010, I'm sure there's a lot of things you wish you had done for your career. I know I have them! A lot of "If only I..." had worked harder, worked smarter, got coached on that big role, got new headshots, had a better agent - the list goes on. I want you to be able to give yourself Permission to LET IT GO! It's in the past. Take a hard look at your challenges and failures, learn from them, then crumple them up and throw them away because if you dwell on them, you will miss the opportunities you have before you now.

The second part of that gift is Celebration. I encourage you to make a list of all the successes you had this year, from the small (bought Amy's book) to the large (booked your first co-star). Look at that list, and then throw yourself a gigantic holiday party!! Take yourself out to dinner and celebrate the hard work you achieved this year.

If you give yourself Permission to let go of the things you could have done better and Celebrate the accomplishments you made, you can start 2011 with a clean slate and ready to kick ass!!

I wish you the best during the holiday season!

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
Amy Lyndon

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:

  • The 3 Tiers of Membership
    • 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
      • Members Forum – We provide a community of like-minded actors, where you can ask anything from a recommendation to information about a particular casting office
      • Articles and Archives – Every newsletter, article, and bulletin will be posted here for you to search out exactly what you’re looking for
    • Guest Star
      • Video Lecture Series – Amy sits down on camera and gives mini-lectures on topics ranging from the outside office to formatting your resume
      • 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
      • Industry Interviews – We at TLT sit down for exclusive interviews with agents, managers, casting directors, and other industry professionals
      • Interactive Marketing Calls – Once a month, we will host a teleconference where we cover a specific marketing concept, followed by a Q+A. Then, we post them for you to download!
      • Referrals, Resources and Discounts – Amy keeps a rolodex of people she trusts. Now, you get access to this trusted “inner circle” of Amy’s contacts
