how it works:
1️⃣ Read more about the courses below.
2️⃣ Click “Register” to register for the class. You should get an email confirming your registration immediately. You can register for all the classes in one fell swoop except for “Make Agents Want You” – that will be a separate registration link, coming soon!

4️⃣ Join the class, ask questions in the chat, and learn!
Each class will be recorded (EXCEPT for “Make Agents Want You”), and the recording will be available for a 24-hour viewing period following the class (see each viewing period listed out below), but we highly recommend you join the course live if you can!
There will be live transcription available for the live sessions, and the recordings will be captioned.
If you’re having any ticketing issues, email [email protected].
All tickets to this special fall class series are free, but if you’re able to chip in to support this programming, we’d love that! 💙
About The Courses
MULTIPLE CLASS SESSIONS:
MAKE AGENTS WANT YOU with Brian Patacca, “The Agent Whisperer”
Brian and his team have done extensive research on what makes you stand out to agents, and how to pitch yourself to them. This class is geared toward actors, but the skills you learn can be applied to writers, directors, designers, and anyone else working in entertainment!
Note that this one class has a different registration link, and will not be recorded, so you have to join a session live. That’s why we’re giving you three class options:
1️⃣ Saturday, November 16th at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern
2️⃣ Monday, November 18th at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern
3️⃣ Thursday, November 21st at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern (*TIME CHANGE: This session was previously at 5pm ET, but please note it will now be at 2pm ET.)
(You only need to attend one of the three – it will be the same seminar each time!)
Click here to register, then come back to this page to register for the other classes!
