Hi all, just wondering if the acting rebels zoom call was on tonight and if so what time, 8pm? Thank you @Guy Allon

Does the link work for today's session?

Hey acting peeps, For those who didn't attend the zoom session last night we had Christine Solomon with us who's experience in the acting world is immense. She kindly allowed me to share with you about best way to send a cold emails and why most actors get them wrong, so here goes: You know you should be reaching out to casting directors, agents, producers, and industry decision-makers. But every time you sit down to write that email, doubt creeps in. What do I even say? Will they think I’m annoying? What if they don’t respond? Here’s the hard truth: cold emails work—when done correctly. Many actors miss out on opportunities simply because they don’t know how to craft a professional, compelling, and confident message. The good news? Industry pros actually want to discover new talent, sign actors, and fill roles. Your job is to show them—quickly and effectively—why they should pay attention to you. Today, I’m breaking down the exact structure of a winning cold email, including examples that reflect how top-tier actors communicate—confident, direct, and positioning themselves as valuable assets. The Anatomy of a High-Impact Cold Email Every strong cold email follows this structure: 1. Subject Line: The Make-or-Break Moment Your subject line determines whether your email gets opened or ignored. It must be direct, intriguing, and professional. ❌ Bad subject lines: - “Hi, I’m an actor looking for representation” - “Seeking opportunities in film/TV” - “Hope you’re doing well” ✅ Winning subject lines: - “Talented Actor with Recent Lead Role in [Notable Project]” - “Rising Actor in [Genre/Market] | Interested in Meeting” - “Re: Upcoming Project Inquiry – [Your Name]” When to send? Wednesdays. Industry professionals are most likely to check and respond mid-week. 2. Opening Line: Hook Them Immediately Skip the small talk. No “I hope you’re doing well”—just get to the point. ✅ Example Opening for an Agent: “I’m reaching out because I’m looking to align with strong representation that understands my career trajectory. I recently wrapped [Project Name] and am now focused on [specific career direction].”

Hey guys! Cool session today! Another question: Are any of you going to the Cannes Film Festival in May? I'll be there because I'm trying to attend a few networking events to also do some promotion for my upcoming short film that's still in pre-production. So I’m still working on the script & already have a synopsis. Maybe some of you have a project in the pipeline too?

Thank you for tonight's great chat Guy and everyone else. As explained, the Web Series "Down The Ellie" was created by 3 of us who done everything, including filming most of the episodes. It was experimental and improvisation based, so not perfect but we all had fun doing it. Would love to hear your thoughts. https://youtube.com/@downtheellie1164?si=PQHsXET2uEOPybCW
