Emplayment: How To Be A Working Actor In Hollywood

Description

Before I even begin the course description, I'd like to quickly say that when I was started out, I would seek out working actors and ask them questions that only they could answer. Yes, I was in regular acting classes, but I found the teachers while good at teaching "acting technique" weren't able to properly answer simple questions like, "Should you always memorize your lines for an audition?" It's the working actors that are in the trenches and up-to-date with the business and current acting styles (not acting as if you're in, say, circa 1972) that can only provide people with real answers to real industry situations. But how do you go out and find a working actor and get them to mentor you? Well, it's not easy. And, I was lucky because my father happened to be friends with one. Short of that, you have Alanna Ubach right here who is about to share nearly 40 years worth of working acting experience with you, all boiled down to the very essence of what matters. It's impressive stuff, trust me! So read on, and we hope you will take Emplayment. I wish I had a course like this when I started out in ten years ago... --Gregg

EMPLAYMENT: AN INSIDER'S GUIDE ON HOW TO BE A WORKING ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD AND KEEP WORKING!

If there are corporate training videos for nurses making beds for the elderly why can't there be corporate videos for actors on how to "wait" in the waiting room?

Welcome to Emplayment, an insider's guide on how to be a working actor in Hollywood and keep working! Taught By Alanna Ubach (one of the leads in COCO) and Gregg Brown.

ALANNA UBACH HAS ACTED IN OVER 300 TV SHOWS AND MOVIES

Alanna Ubach is a chameleon-like actress and voice-over talent. She is best known for her roles in "Meet the Fockers", "Rango", the Peabody Award-winning "Men of a Certain Age", "Hung", "Legally Blonde", "Waiting", and her portrayal of Jo Frumpkis in Bravo's first scripted series, "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce". She was recently seen in the Netflix film To The Bone alongside Lily Collins and Keanu Reeves and has a lead voiceover role in Pixar's upcoming COCO. She has voiced several cartoon roles in series such as El Tigre, Welcome to the Wayne, and Rango! She began acting professionally at the age of five. Quoted as "an exceptionally talented and protean actress" by the New York Times and Variety, Ubach made her Off-Broadway debut at the age of fifteen in Club Soda. She later starred in "Kindertransport" at the Manhattan Theater Club and "Patriotic Bitch," a one-woman show at New York's Harold Clurman Theater. In other words, Alanna has been around the show business block as a working actor her entire life.

Alanna’s worked alongside Robert Deniro, Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Ryan Reynolds, Danny Devito, John Turturro, Anna Farris, Julian Moore, Cameron Diaz, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and so many more!
