Sean's seminar gave me insight and fresh ideas, profoundly simple, effective answers to nagging problems of multiple emphases. The fee was easily worth the money spent.

I thought my resume was already pretty good but the class opened my eyes to new ideas and cutting edge trends that I had never even considered. The class helped give me clarity, motivation, and some added confidence not only in resume, but in my acting career, as well. I feel like I will really have a shot at standing out and getting more calls with what I learned from Sean. Getting an outside perspective on my resume and my essence has really given me a new focus. I appreciated his comments and his genuine eagerness to help me succeed. He was very friendly and easy to work with, and I will definitely be taking more of his classes soon! You may be thinking my resume is fine. But, if you really want to invest in yourself and your acting career, I would highly suggest checking it out. I am so glad I did!

I turned down the opportunity when a friend said "hey you should be doing something if there's no work out there." Sean's class was not what I expected as he showed me how to make my resume stand out amongst the many. I am so glad there was no work because I could have missed this class and my resume would be just another resume. Thanks Sean! I would recommend it over and over!

The information he provides is extremely useful, and he leaves his students with encouragement for the road ahead. I have now taken Sean's resume and marketing classes, and both present a wealth of Sean's knowledge and experiences. He also gives one-on-one attention to each of his students which is hard to find in your average seminar. I would certainly recommend Sean Pratt for anyone looking to forward their acting careers.

I have some varied interests and pursuits and I wanted to consolidate them all onto my website, but still have my marketing strategy look coherent. His coaching helped clear my mind of the irrelevant information and focus my efforts. I'm very happy with my current strategy and last year's results. I doubled my income in 2009 from voice-over and actor freelance. I'm hoping to increase it again in 2010. Sean knows the business and doesn't hold back on his advice. I highly recommend his private sessions if you want to increase your bookings.

I showed it to my agent, and we both really like the results. Now to have a printer reduce and line it up to fit on the back of my head shot where we show other photos as well, and I'm good to go. It cleaned it up, condensed it and showed those important jobs I needed to emphasize.
