Audition for the Part is an Art, but Selling Yourself is the Essential Audition

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2005

For a role in a television show, movie, commercial or even music video can make even the most seasoned actor a bit jittery. Auditions are no doubt arduous. Landing a role is even more difficult. But the hardest part for an actor in the game of access Hollywood isn’t about acting at all. It’s about marketing.

“As an actor, you’re a salesperson, and the product you’re selling is you,” says Larry Garrison, in his widely acclaimed book, Breaking Into Acting for Dummies. “… Many talented actors don’t succeed in show business because they forget the first rule: Show business is a business.”

No one knows auditions better than Randy J. Goodwin. The actor, who over the past seven years has starred in more than 25 television shows and appeared in dozens of commercials and films, knows how to market himself – without abandoning his ethics.

Says Goodwin: “My real success has been that I’ve accomplished all of this and made it to the big time without compromising my values or doing anything that would disappoint or embarrass my family, my friends or people at church,”

In Hollywood, that’s not easy to do, especially for beginning actors trying desperately to break into show business. Goodwin – who played the first black NASCAR driver in the television show Fast Track and earned his first film role in American History X – is an expert at navigating his way through the pitfalls and perils of Hollywood. Now, Goodwin is sharing the secrets of his success.

Goodwin has put together a two-video program filled with priceless insider information that will help actors get their foot in the Hollywood door with an audition and keep it there.

A pretentious, formal presentation is not Goodwin’s style. The two videos provide real-world answers from top actors and industry professionals. The first one-hour video includes advice from Emmy-award winning actor Kelsey Grammer of the hit TV show “Fraiser,” and Kevin Hill, star of the hot new UPN production, “Kevin Hill.” The second video takes actors on a step-by-step journey that will speed up the Hollywood “process” and quickly secure paying jobs.

With a minor investment of $47, a discount of $100, Goodwin’s Hollywood Exposed Package includes two video programs clearly chronicling the path to making it as an actor in Hollywood. The package can be ordered online at http://www.gotacting.com or by calling 1-877-723-6796.

The price also includes an invitation to Goodwin’s March VIP event being held in Los Angeles. The three-day event will include top celebrities and producers looking for new talent. Actors will be able to audition and have their performances recorded on DVD. Actors will also get the opportunity to have their auditions personally reviewed by Goodwin. The three-day event is a rare opportunity for young actors, and could make the difference in their careers.
