Training
The Acting Coach with Cindy Hogan
(Jacksonville, Atlanta, Charleston, & Savannah) • Website:
www.the-actingcoach.com
Cindy Hogan's ongoing experience in the
real world of film and television acting gives her an insight into the
industry that is invaluable to her students. The purpose of her work is to
lead actors into discovering their own persona and to live entirely in the
moment. Her approach to each of these may be completely different for each
individual she teaches. Cindy deals with the actor's work through the eyes
of a director and believes that acting in all mediums comes from the same
place.
The Actor's School with Mark Mullen
(Orlando) • Website:
www.theactorsschool.net
Following six years as Programming
Director of the Florida Film Festival, Mark Mullen left the exhibition
side of the film industry to work behind the camera. He landed a position
with Mel Johnson & Associates casting extras for projects ranging from the
NBC series SeaQuest to features likes John Singleton's Rosewood
and The Hughes Brothers' Dead Presidents. In 1999 the overnight
success of Kimberly Mullen Casting turned Mark's promise to help out into
what quickly became a full-time role as the company's second Casting
Director. Mark is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with BA's in
English Literature and Advertising and minors in Film Studies and Art
History.
In addition to over 1,000 commercials,
principal casting credits (shared with partner Kimberly) include
