HERE'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS SEMINAR:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the lecture and would highly recommend keeping it in the schedule for months/years to come. Peter's extensive knowledge and experience in the business of acting in LA has not only contributed to saving lots of time and money on my end, but has also enriched my understanding of the process as a whole. I left the class excited to get in touch with him about my eventual move, and more so, inspired to start my acting career today. What an asset!"

"Amazing...exactly what I needed.... definitely spread the word that this is a GREAT class..."

"with all the info Peter provided, I feel like I saved myself not only a massive amount of time but also I have a much better understanding of the business..."

"...loved that he shared his "little black book" info, his divulging of naming the top coaches, websites, photographers, etc. . Sharing his personal contact information was so
generous of him..."

"I learned so many things that I did not expect to find out! He saved me months of working with a sub-par head shot that would have cost me time and opportunities. I would absolutely recommend this seminar to any actor."

"Of all the actors I've seen transition to LA, Peter has worked more diligently and tirelessly at his career as anyone, and is the first to state that he's had both successes and setbacks in LA. ACCORDING TO PETER, IT'S THE SEMINAR HE WISHES HE'D HAD TO AVOID THE MISTAKES HE HAD TO MAKE. IF YOU'RE THINKING OF MAKING THE MOVE WEST, THIS SEMINAR IS AN ESSENTIAL FOR THE EAST COAST ACTOR!"
