Are you ready to take your acting career to the next level? Actors need to continue to hone their craft, but just as importantly they need to build up their business savvy. Every actor owns his or her own business, and every business needs a product to market. Actors are their own product, and their ability to market themselves will determine whether or not they are able to find work. Clair Sinnett holds 2 day boot camps for actors designed to help them refine and improve their acting skills, and to zero in on the business and marketing skills they need to succeed.

Here’s what people have said about Clair’s Seminars
“Clair taught me how to…target…specific agents, managers, and casting directors that are looking for my type, what type of questions to ask, what type of questions to expect to answer, and what to do when I finally got my foot in the door…It’s almost like getting the answer key before taking a test.”
Swan Kim, Former Student
“Her insight in this business is invaluable! Clair single handedly helped me jump from Graduate school to one of the top 10 agencies in the entertainment business.”
Alan Mingo, Jr., ‘Simba’ – “THE LION KING”
“I am convinced that I would be on that sinking boat had I not developed a strategic marketing plan (before I graduated) under the keen eye of Clair Sinnett. The crux of Clair’s marketing program relies on her own words: “There is a reason why the term is ‘Show Business’ and not ‘Show Art’.”
Will Jude, Former Student
“She has a keen sense of what an actor needs to do to make it in this industry and stay there. Clair’s Marketing Plan incorporates a successful step-by-step process that focuses exactly on what agents and casting directors are looking for in an actor.”
Richard Padro, Former Student
