In this one-night seminar, the focus is branding. Before you can market yourself or your group effectively, you need to know what you’re selling: your Brand. A lot of performers don't know their Brand, and as a result, aren't selling themselves to agents and casting directors as effectively as they could be. In this seminar, you’ll explore what makes you unique and marketable, create a Branding Breakdown, and use exercises and tools to narrow down your brand niche.
