Associate Director, TVI Actor's Studio, NY
at Showbiz Expo
I rather enjoyed Showbiz Expo (Sep 21).
It is most appropriate for young actors. It's a medium size show, not quite at critical mass for other demographics in showbiz, but, since the exhibition is free, most directors, producers and more-advanced actors are likely to find something, or someone, or some company in the exhibition space that will be useful.
Actors starting out will find it very valuable.
There is a networking party, and seminars as well (not free).
I heard part of one talk by Alan S. Nusbaum, Chairman of TVI Studios. It was a solid presentation for actors starting to market themselves as paid professionals. I also talked with several members of the TVI staff, and TVI seems like an excellent place to learn commercial acting skills -- the kind of acting skills you need to land paid jobs.
