“While talent is an absolute given, awareness and insight into the ‘business’ of show business is the component that is too often ignored, misunderstood, and undervalued. Jodie & Kevin fill that gap with a simple and positive approach that teaches an actor how to brand and market oneself with confidence. The Savvy Actor Career Manual is an essential part of an actor’s preparation.”
– Gary John La Rosa, Director/Choreographer
“I'm a huge supporter of The Savvy Actor and the dead‐on coaching provided by Jodie & Kevin. There are a lot of businesses, coaches, small companies, etc., that will take your money and don't have your best interests at heart. Kevin & Jodie are the real deal. They really listen and are interested in helping. I've seen actors transform with the help of their seminars. The Savvy Actor Career Manual is a valuable resource to any actor out there.”
– Jillian Sanders, Former Junior Agent, Don Buchwald and Associates
“I have been working with Broadway professionals for almost 15 years in New York City and I have never worked with a company that better prepares an actor for the business side of acting than The Savvy Actor. Jodie and Kevin are passionate about getting their clients to powerful career outcomes and their career manual is a terrific foundational tool for every actor at any level.”
-VP Boyle, Broadway Coach & Owner, MaxTheatrix LLC
“The Savvy Actor is simply one of the most useful, affordable services available to developing artists. Jodi and Kevin are generous of spirit and information, which they both possess in spades, and regularly pass along invaluable insights on branding and career building at free seminars with my company, The Network. In addition, their clear and distinct branding acumen has helped me enormously in defining my company’s identity. I could not more strongly vouch for a pair through both personal experience and client feedback.”
- Paul Michael, Owner/Executive Director The Network
“If all it took was talent, there would be countless working actors. However in today’s increasingly competitive market, even the combo of talent, timing and luck may not guarantee success. There is actual work involved that for the most part, remains overlooked. Jodie and Kevin’s program provides actors with practical strategies, combining their career and life goals. Most of all they help actors define those goals and motivate them to make the choices that can move them ahead. A Life in Show Business is by nature unstructured and can be overwhelming. It’s a good thing to have a plan and a guide to go along with the dream. I’m delighted they’re here. The Savvy Actors are an indispensable asset to Weist-Barron.”
-Valerie Adami, Owner/Director Weist-Barron School
