Brilliant vocalist and instructor Brennyn Lark in class last Sunday. This gifted star of Broadway's Les Misérables, Broadway's Six, and more, is one of my most popular guest instructors. She's one of those rare artistic giants who's able to communicate extremely well to young aspiring performers and help them understand exactly how she does what she does. We're extremely fortunate to have her on our Academy roster!

Learning and practicing interviewing skills last night with Hollywood agent Milt Perea from one of the top-rated talent agencies in the country, AEFH https://www.facebook.com/agentsNMK/. Milt expertly blended candor and caring. Very insightful and helpful session.

Master session this past Sunday with leading Hollywood agent Jan Rosenthal (Abstract Talent Agency Inc). Jan was as always warm, approachable, and candid. Worked on increasing confidence and presence during interviews.

I think it worked--do these kids look nervous?

Just fyi, my Investigation Discovery docuseries episode debuted last Monday; currently streaming on MAX. Title is Hollywood Demons. Thanks. -Peter

For some '90s child actors, the road after stardom leads them to tragedy.

This month's class was an extraordinary vocal session last night with Broadway's incomparable star [Beauty & the Beast (Mrs. Potts) Sound of Music (Mother Abbess) etc etc ] Jeanne Lehman French. Twenty-eight gifted and happy kiddos learning from one of the best. Truly was a joy to observe. Next month: returning to our roster of top New York and Los Angeles talent representatives and casting people.

And here they are, freshly arrived. Mature, intelligent and focused students, about to begin their Dec/Jan In Home session.

12/20/2024

Eight days and counting to the next In-Home Academy session. Plenty of feedback and coaching with Hollywood and New York talent agents, Broadway stars, and numerous other industry people.

Six day 24/7 program with no phone use--100% unplugged, students making all their own meals every day from a comprehensive booklet of healthy kid-friendly recipes, and following a tight all-day-long schedule of classes, coaching, meetings, and other activities from wake-up time to lights out.

Pretty much the same as how things happen when we're on location.

I'm very proud of this program and even more proud of the exceptional hand-picked kids who participate.

Webinar hosts are welcome to audit. Please contact me next week for a Daily Schedule and Zoom login info.

See you all soon.☺

Tomorrow night--honored to have a another select group of young people work with leading Los Angeles talent rep, Milton Perea, agent with AEFH, rated one of the top four youth agencies in the world. We've had Milt work with quite a few of my "finds" over the years, both on-location in Hollywood and online. In addition to his knowledge and experience, his approach to children, teens, and young adults is always caring, supportive, and actor-centered. Very much appreciate that he's taking time on a Sunday night to help our kiddos.

Well, this is something only an old person might say. But I'm gonna say it anyhow:

There's talk of banning TikTok in the US. I keep up a modest TT account. But when I heard it might be shut down, I was reminded of one of the songs in A Chorus Line:

I dug right down to the bottom of my soul...
And cried.
'Cause I felt...
nothing.
