frog management adult screen workshops
Wed, 18 Jan 2006, 01:45 amhi perth actors,
was just wondering if any of you guys have ever done a frog management screen class over the years. is it good? and what percentage of the class actually gets picked up for representation by them at the completion of the classes?

Re: frog management adult screen workshops
You shouldn't be having to pay for classes to get representation from them; the people I know with Frog simply contacted them, outlined their experience and abilities and were put on the books.

This doesn't mean however that the classes are not beneficial if you haven't had much in the way of screen acting experience.
Before I did this course and a couple of others I had a huge tendency to act like I was on-stage with projection and most other skills that are not appropriate to screen. And since I have been working on a televsions series, that training was certainly beneficial - otherwise you'd have to turn down the TV everytime I spoke (you probably want to anyway;) like you do with the adverts.
By all means contact Frog and see if they will represent you, but just because they won't nor if they will or won't because you do their course - courses are GENERALLY designed to enhance your skills and educate you and if it is something you want to follow, then every little bit helps. Thats not to say jump into every course you can find, but at least entertain the idea and do some research into which courses may be better suited to you for what you will learn and the qualifications of the co-ordinators.
(There are a lot of courses run by people that have questionable experience and qualifications so always do your research)
In other words, do a course because of its merits, its chance to help you as an actor not because you want representation or anything else out of you. You are an actor and the better you hone your skills the more likely you will be picked up by an agent.

Re: frog management Q?
Hi,
Just a quick Q. Do you have to audition for From Management to be considered to be put on their books? Or do they just put you on?
Thanks.

Re: frog management adult screen workshops
Not necessarily - a friend of mine was put on Frog's books a couple of years ago without any audition.

Re: frog management adult screen workshops
I have been on Frog's books for some time. I have not attended their workshops to do this however. I have met with and been interviewed. That's all that is required.
One the other hand, the workshops are not just informative and constructive for yourself, it also gives FROG a chance to see you in action and assist in their recommendations of you to prospective clients.
You learn some good skills and get noticed at the same time. Now that has to be worth something.
