Hey, I'm Aaron Marcus, and I've been very fortunate. I've been a full-time actor and a commercial model for over 30 years. I've booked over 1,200 jobs so far. Maybe you saw my recurring role on House of Cards. I've worked on Mr. Robot, Gotham, Halt and Catch Fire, Rectify, a bunch of films— independent films, feature films, training films, TV commercials, commercial modeling jobs, voiceover jobs. And what I've learned is that the secret to having success in the industry is number one, getting the right information, learning from someone who's actually in the industry doing the work, and 2, making the right connections. And that's why I love offering my Book the Job workshop. I'm gonna be bringing this to Philadelphia on March the 9th. I'm gonna be teaching you everything from how to use your nervousness to your advantage, how to create headshots that industry pros want to see, create eye-catching commercial photos, how to prepare before auditions, techniques to use when working with photographers, how to market yourself, get work on your own. We'll talk about the unions. We'll talk about shooting auditions from home, contracts, anything that you want to know about, you can ask me about as well. And I've got 2 great guest speakers who you definitely want to connect with. These are people who could really change your career. One is Will Ball. He's been an agent for over 10 years on the East Coast and West Coast. He started a new agency in New Jersey. You definitely want to connect with him. He represents actors and models. And I also have Stevie Chris, and this is where I'm going to be holding the workshop at his studio. He's a great commercial photographer. He hires models for jobs. So if you're really interested in not— to stop spinning your wheels, doing things by trial and error, getting a real game plan, sign up as soon as possible. I do have limited seating, and basically it's going to take all the guesswork out of having success, whether you want to get started or if you've been in the industry for a while and you want to jumpstart your career and take it to the next level.
