Experience of the Acting profession has shown that it is not necessarily
the best actors who get the best jobs. Something was needed to help
Actors who were consistently not getting the jobs they were certainly
right for.
After a considerable amount of thought, Patricia O'Connor developed
'BRAG' (she needed a catchy name, and for the curious, it stands for
Broadcast, Representation, Attitude and Grooming).
You may have taken lessons, attended drama school, appeared in amateur
dramatics and profit-share, had a friend take the photographs..... (even
got the t-shirt...!)
And now you have an agent to find you work - and you've probably been
to auditions for jobs you didn't get. What do you do next?
It's not too late, you can change from a media caterpillar to a successful
media butterfly. Take a 'BRAG' consultation session.
The two-hour 'BRAG' session costs $150.00 (less than one day's background
work).
You will be better prepared for that all-important photograph that
lets the world know how talented you really are. (The first thing
a director or casting agent sees is your photograph. Your appearance
and the confidence you project on that photograph is what can make them
decide to meet you.)
You will be prepared to attend an audition and shorten the odds. (Learn
how you can have more control of an audition)
You will learn how to work to the camera. (At most auditions you will
be photographed or video-taped)
Patricia O'Connor will be your instructor
Patricia began her career at fourteen as a catwalk model, working for
major fashion designers both in the United States and Europe. At nineteen
she auditioned and won a Presenter opportunity for network television
in Detroit where she was living at the time, beating 500 women for the
position.
Her work took her from Detroit to present for NBC Television in Chicago,
and then on to California where she continued to present Magazine, Celebrity,
and Music programmes.
Patricia featured in many television commercials (including Ford, Budweiser,
Legs, and Camay), and appeared in training films for companies such
as Bank of America and Borghesa Cosmetics. On stage she appeared with
leading theatre companies in both Chicago and California, and her face
was frequently seen on the covers of Vogue and Harpers while represented
by the exclusive Eileen Ford Agency.
She was a director of 'The Patricia Vance School of Modelling' in Chicago,
and trained the employees of major airlines, banks, and hotels in Customer
Contact skills, including appearance and attitude.
Call Patricia O'Connor on 604 946 6859 or email pat5@telus.net
to arrange a personal session. Payment of $150.00 is required in advance,
by cheque payable to Starcast Actors.
They said:
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the recent 'BRAG'
consultation session. You said at the end of the session I was 100%
better. To be honest I felt 500% better. I'm sure I bored my wife and
son when I returned home because I couldn't stop talking about it."
Barrie Palmer,
Taunton
"I have just returned home from the 'BRAG' session. I would just
like to take this opportunity to say how very interesting the four hours
were and just how much I have learnt from it. She is an excellent tutor
and I wish it was an ongoing course."
Lainey Taylor,
Bristol
