ABOUT THE SESSIONS.
These one to one career advice sessions offer a relaxed and supportive environment in which you get some honest feedback and practical advice. We can talk about CVs, photos, agents, casting directors, self taping, showreels, voicereels, letter writing, game plan / marketing strategy, etc.
I will view your CV, show reel, voice reel, photos in advance of the session and will have plenty to say.
I will access Spotlight profiles, but if not a member, or if you have additional material or links that you want me to see, you will be able to email them to him in advance of the session.
I hope that you will leave the session with a renewed determination, questions answered, with some misconceptions corrected and with a clear idea of what changes might make a difference and a plan of action to take you forward. Where appropriate I can advise on which agents might be good for you.
“Carl Proctor’s advice is sincere and measured. If anyone is considering doing 1-2-1 career advice with Carl, I cannot recommend it highly enough. When I left the session, I was beaming with motivation and optimism. His knowledge and professionalism are outstanding.”
