The Business of Acting

Learn directly from Cheryl Texiera, Actress, Writer, and Producer (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Girl Meets World, The Mentalist, Shameless)!

Navigating the waters of the entertainment industry can be tricky, especially if your desire is to have an acting career. One can easily find themself floating aimlessly in a sea of headshots and unanswered submission letters with no clue as to what happened or where the time went. You find yourself wondering how everyone else seems to have the answers but you somehow missed out.

To have a strong professional acting career, it’s important to be a great actor. But it’s equally as important to get all of the stepping-stones correctly in place, such as your SAG-AFTRA card, good representation, and a following on social media. Talent and luck will get you far, but treating your brand like a business will get you farther!

Whether you've been on your acting journey for years and things just aren't working as you’d hoped they would, or you're just starting out (or thinking of starting out) and want a huge leg up on the competition, or even if you're a parent of a child who has said those six wonderful little words, "I want to be an actor" – then this webinar is for you.

In this Stage 32 Next Level Webinar, host Cheryl Texiera will share with you everything that she wished someone had shared with her when she was first starting out acting professionally. From how to get your SAG-AFTRA card, to how and when to approach representation, to how to create a stand out reel, all the way to the best websites actors should be using to build their career, Cheryl will show you the behind the scenes but vitally important aspects of creating a strong professional acting career.
