The purpose of THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY® PROJECT
was to fill an enormous educational gap in the way
actors are educated. Actors learn everything about the
"art" and "craft" of acting and "performance
skills" - and
little or nothing about the inner workings of the industry
and the required "NON-PERFORMANCE" SKILLS that
enable actors to
quickly and effectively launch, advance
and sustain viable careers in the entertainment industry.
Because of this educational deficiency, there is a 99%
failure rate of trained and
talented actors assimilating
into the motion picture, stage and television industries.
The Actors Journey® Project was founded to produce
a pair of educational
programs that would allow a
select group of 100 distinguished and highly experienced
industry veterans an educational platform to teach the
required
industry-related BUSINESS and CAREER
DEVELOPMENT SKILLS
that enable actors to quickly
and effectively launch, advance and sustain careers in
today's highly competitive entertainment
industry.
These are BUSINESS SKILLS that are not taught at
the schools, colleges,
universities and academies that
train actors in the art and craft of acting and
performance
skills
TWO PROGRAMS AVAILABLE:
THE ACTOR'S
JOURNEY® is an Eight Volume -
10 Hour Long DVD Program that is designed to
educate adult actors (age
18 years old and up).
THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY for KIDS® is a Five
Volume - Five Hour Long DVD Program that is
designed to educate the PARENTS of child
and teen actors (through 17 years of age)
Both DVD Programs were produced and directed
by Mr. Livingston through his Los Angeles based
production company, FIRST TEAM PRODUCTIONS.
The goal of
THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY® PROJECT
is to produce a new generation of enlightened actors
who are fully informed about the entertainment
industry and
who possess the necessary knowledge,
abilities
and business skills to control and self-
direct
their own careers with total confidence
from day one in the industry.
The ACTOR'S JOURNEY®
PROJECT
incorporates the
knowledge and experience
Directors, Producers,
Show Runners,
Executive Producers,
Casting Directors,
Talent Agents, Talent
Managers, an
amazing cross-section
of highly
recognizable
Actors - and the Presidents
of two of the industry's key unions (The
Screen Actors Guild and The Director's
Guild of America).
If knowledge is power, then THE ACTOR'S
JOURNEY® PROJECT is
the ultimate
resource for actors
of all ages.
