ASKED QUESTIONS
How
is Gordon Jump involved?
Gordon was a syllabus consultant for MMA and endorses
its Mission and its Staff.
How
much money can a person make doing commercial work?
Many people are surprised to learn that one national
commercial can pay from $10,000 to $50,000.
Don't
you have to be young and beautiful to work?
Many people get commercials confused with modeling. In
commercials, all ages and types are needed. Our
successful graduates have ranged from darling
four-year olds to seniors in their 80's. Most new
students are people who feel good about themselves,
and have always had the desire to explore some area of
performing. Gordon Jump did not begin an acting career
until his late 30's and there are many who have
started later than that.
What
kind of guarantees or placement promises do you make?
No legitimate school will promise a job as a result of
their training. Learning to act is an art, and unlike
beauty colleges or computer repair courses, no one is
ever "placed" in a job. In much the
same way, a music teacher trains someone to play the
piano, MMA trains students to audition for work in
commercials, film and voice-over. Although we do
"Showcase" (audition) our students in front
of two SAG agents, there is no guarantee of being
chosen, ……but the opportunity is there….and many
of our students are "picked up" by an
Agency. We also provide much guidance in the audition
process and teach how to successfully audition for
work.. Success comes after training and
persistence.
