_{A Live, In-Depth Seminar with Sean Kanan}

ACTING AND THE

BUSINESS OF ACTING

Sunday, February 15 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM (PDT)
Live via Zoom

This WEBINAR is for actors who are serious about mastery not shortcuts

You’ve trained.

You’ve studied.

You’ve put in the time.

Yet somehow, progress feels slow… or stalled.

Not because you lack talent.

Not because you’re “not good enough.”

But because acting schools rarely teach the full equation:

Great acting + understanding the business = a sustainable career

This seminar exists to bridge that gap.

What MOST ACTORS are never taught

Many actors are told:

“Just focus on the craft.

The rest will follow.”

In reality, that advice leaves talented actors:

Stuck overthinking scenes
Struggling to access emotional consistency
Confused about auditions and casting
Frustrated by the industry side of acting
Questioning whether they’re cut out for this career

Truth is simpler but HARDER,

Talent alone is not enough.

And guessing your way forward is exhausting.

What you will LEARN from this seminar?

ACTING MASTERY

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:

Discover your character’s Super Objective .
Understand the three essential elements of every scene.
Build a compelling, usable backstory.
Use beats to shape emotional truth.
Work with the fourth wall.
Apply the “Moment Before” technique.
Handle difficult acting challenges like crying and playing intoxicated.
Stay present instead of getting stuck in your head.
Create truthful emotion without forcing it.

THE BUSINESS OF ACTING

Sean will also share insights from 40 years working professionally, in

How the industry actually works behind the scenes
Why many talented actors never get traction
Common business mistakes actors make early
How to think long-term instead of role-to-role

“Rejection is a teacher.

Not a verdict.”

LIVE Q&A

You’ll have the opportunity to ask specific questions about your own situation and get real answers, not vague encouragement.

What this seminar is NOT?

This is important to be clear about.

This seminar was designed for actors who value substance over hype.

Here’s what you won’t get

No sales pitch at the end
This is not a webinar designed to upsell you into another course, coaching program, or membership.
You pay once, attend the seminar, and leave with the training.
No motivational speeches or empty inspiration
This is not a “believe in yourself” talk.
The focus is on technique, structure, and real understanding, not hype.
No shortcuts, secrets, or guarantees
There are no promises of instant fame, casting outcomes, or overnight success.
No recycled advice you’ve heard a hundred times
This is not a repackaging of generic acting tips.
Everything shared comes from real, professional experience.
No wasting time on theory without application

Acting is a craft and a profession, this seminar respects that reality.

The goal is clarity you can actually use in scenes, auditions, and your career decisions.
