EJ Panico, a voice-over and acting professional, took Aaron Marcus's "Book the Job" workshop and got a curated list of local casting directors, direct feedback on his headshot and resume, and six-person group size that let him ask questions without pressure.
I'm EJ Panico, and I wanted to comment on Aaron Marcus's in-person workshop called Book the Job. First of all, I'm at the beginning of my voiceover and acting career. By simply registering for Aaron's course, I was emailed a listing of casting directors and major agencies and other professionals in the industry within my locale, which is Very important to anyone, but also important especially to people like me who are just getting started and may not know where to start. The course itself was very helpful. It was limited to 6 participants, and each seemed to be in a, a varied stage of their career. Having that limitation of 6 people, that alone helped give it that open atmosphere for Q&A. And hearing the answers to questions that they asked also gave me a lot of insight into what to expect later on down the road and how to deal with factors that they mentioned. Aaron covered in the course not only the course content, but he also critiqued headshots and resumes and gave some very helpful information for helping actors catch the eye of the casting director as well as open the lines of communication. He also made sure to answer all of our questions, and his answers were direct and to the point, and he had some very helpful suggestions. Overall, I feel that Aaron's course, Book the Job, really added a lot to my learning curve. It was very valuable. It, hopefully with the suggestions and the recommendations that Aaron made, once I implement them, that it will bring me to a new stage of my career, and I'll have new questions to ask him next time I speak with him. Thanks a lot, Aaron. Thank you.
