Christy English

The following are examples of the classes and areas of focus that Christy offers:

Vision & Blocks

I’m going to help you transform yourself from being a desperate, needy, maybe jaded actor to be a confident, EMPOWERED actor with:

A clear and solid vision
A clutter free, excited outlook, which some people may call the IT Factor (who can identify and overcome blocks)
The confidence to help you in the business process

TYPES/REEL

How do you know your type? There’s a difference between what you want to go out for and what you will get called in for. We’re going to help you figure out your type, then move you into the right roles to make your reel. . Then we’re going to really get into the nitty gritty of creating 4 solid scenes for that reel.

I’m going to give you a step by step guideline, timeline and checklist to produce your own reel fast.
I’m going to give you all the production breakdowns you’ll need; production crew lists, breakdowns and budget, as well as great low-cost resources.
You can still have your fulltime job and do this. We have two proven plans to make it happen for very low cost to you. On this call you’ll hear one and then on the 3rd call you’ll hear another.

IMDb

I’m going to walk you through the steps of getting your own webisode together; We’ve done all the work for you. What’s taken us years and some of my actors much time, now have it all figured out. It’s priceless.

Really take you through the steps, show you how to make that great webisode step-by-step.
Walk you through all the contract information, including requirements.
Give you all my production breakdowns, where to find your crew for cheap, timelines, low budget ideas for great quality products (all the great ideas that have worked for my clients)
Talk you through the IMDb credit process
Online film festival lists
How to get yourself a handful of IMDb credits in a short amount of time
How to get it done with minimal work on your end as well as minimal cost
Give you my rolodex of resources in LA or San Francisco and if you’re out of the country or State how you can easily get your own rolodex going.

TIMELINE/CRAFT

The days of “being discovered” are very few and far between. There are steps on how to get to being a Series Regular and having a Great Film Career. Many Actors don’t even know where they need to go and what they need to do next or often times have it all backwards. Most of the actors you see on Television or in Movies have taken the necessary step by step actions to get to where they are.

I will tell you the steps and guide you through them, so that there’s no guess work
We’re going to discuss the craft and techniques
I’m going to go over Agents/Manager and the best way to get represented

Q&A

We’re going to have a Q&A call where you can call in and ask questions. We’ll also take emails with questions before hand and go over some of those. This call will be a 75 minute call!

All of the first 4 calls will be 60 minutes and you’ll have access to the recording afterward, the final Q&A call will be 75 minutes

Testimonials

“Christy's combination of absolute honesty and love for her actors is truly unique and remarkable. She pushes each actor she works with to their maximum potential and then beyond. And her focus is not limited just to acting skills, but your whole life. Not only have I gotten my achieved many of my acting goals with Christy's help, but I've dropped 50+ pounds and have a whole new way of living, being truthful and living with full emotions. And I've learned to laugh at that nasty little voice in my head that always tries to hold me back. All thanks to Christy. Her training has been an amazing combination of learning the craft and business of acting. In a world where people are totally focused on themselves, Christy is that rare gem that really cares for and nurtures her students."
- Phil Talsky

“Christy English has helped me attain my goals faster than I envisioned. In the Actor’s Edge class we worked on vision, creating and maintaining a positive mental attitude (something we each need at different times in our career ;-)) and the steps necessary to systematically achieve my desires. We focused and practiced techniques to help us accomplish our individual goals as well as examine what we accomplished and still needed assistance with including cold reading tips and on camera work. Christy is very patient and keeps things fun. She provides detailed coaching and you need to do the work. It can be challenging; however, she and the group are there to help you through your blocks and congratulate you on your wins!. Another benefit of the class and Christy is her pulse on what is happening in LA which she shares. I recommend this class to students of all levels still needing to achieve business goals."
- Anita Argent

"I am so thankful to have found Christy. Before her, my creative soul felt like it had gone through a bashing and I felt a little lost and "not feeling good" about myself and my place in the industry. Through her Actor’s Edge Program, it kicks my butt business wise…. It’s really shifted my views on myself (and my body) inside the industry and instead of spiraling into depression and kicking myself, Christy has helped to look at the industry with humor and excitement. She’s all about collaboration and NOT competition (which is soo rare), and still is about constant improvements without being coddling or demeaning. Plus, she is helping me OWN MY ANGER!!! (lol!) I mean --- BE ANGRY (without smiling!!!) Inside joke peoples. Lol! "

Nominated alongside Academy Award Nominees Alfre Woodard
& Amy Irving for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS at the 2009 MethodFest (ER, Bones, Gilmore Girls, Trauma)

"Christy’s class is a very creative and resourceful class. It’s very unique in the sense that it helps you in all aspects of your life. Having talent in this business unfortunately is not enough and being at your best as a person is a must. Christy coaches you on getting specific with your goals, to really knowing and owning your type, getting specific with your look, having confidence, as well as identifying the blocks that hold you back from being your best and learning how to fix them. On top of all that she is a great acting coach! I went from being a working San Francisco actor to auditioning for Guest Star, Reoccurring and a few Series Regular roles for network television in Los Angeles in a 6-12 month span and I didn’t even have to move to LA. And I have to say I audition more in L.A. than other actors I know in L.A. She’s the bomb!"

The Actors Edge Program has been the first initiative that I've undertaken that actually made me feel empowered as an actor. We take so much time to work on our craft that we forget or negate the business side. The Actors Edge has put me on a track to achieve my acting goals, I have begun working on my Acting Reel and I now know my type and how I will be cast based on both my level and my look. The program holds you accountable and puts you in the mists of supporting hands. It is the best money that I have spent in the last year! "Just Do It"

A few things that I've accomplished since taking the class in the last year: Had my first headshots taken, signed with Marla Dell Agency, put my commercial and theatrical reel together, created my website, booked a National Commercial with LensCrafters, booked a National Print job and Industrial commercial, booked a role on the independent film "Mother Country", signed with Christy English Management (top LA representation), have had amazing auditions for TV shows in LA and much more to come!

“I have been through 2 sessions of Christy's Actor’s Edge Class and am already signed up for my 3rd. When I started the intensive, I mapped out goals to move to LA from SF, and book more work. 2 sessions later, I now live in LA and have booked work with Food Network, Toyota, GMC, Wells Fargo, and went to producers on Trauma. Once a month, I make the drive back to San Jose just for this workshop. This is a class full of essential tools, support, and talent."

"Christy's Coaching Intensive class has been an absolute must. I've found so much support and inspiration in what I learn from Christy and all the others in the class. She helps you focus your craft and also the business side of acting and really helps you learn the importance of balance... balance between the craft, the business, and your personal and family life as well as your day job. I'd say the Intensive class has been one of the most valuable classes that I've taken that touches all aspects of your fine-tuning your craft and also your life and learning how to bring "you" to it all. She really helps you find your strengths and how to build on them and always how to be authentic and true to yourself:-) "

“A few years ago, I was a kid with a dream that I nervously spoke about to only those I completely trusted, and I "acted". Now I'm an actor who owns his dream, passionately, confidently, in front of anyone, and I connect, I feel and I own all of it... Thank you Christy.”

"After taking Meisner and experiencing Christy's amazing ability to get in tune with her students, I didn't hesitate to take the The Actor’s Edge class. The class has given me so much support, and belief in myself. Christy's class takes you step by step in helping you to achieve your goals as a professional actor. In just a short time, I was going into auditions with an incredible amount of confidence, experience and getting the roles I wanted. Thanks Christy"
