Acting - Coaching - Your Career

Dorothy Snyder - Actress (member of Screen Actors Guild
with numerous credits, studied with Lee Strasberg in
New York and when she came to Hollywood she met
Carollyn De Vore & they attended Acting workshops with Lee Strasberg for years. Dorothy is a private person - not on "Facebook", IMDB, etc. Dorothy is the most amazing coach - and you don't have to drive to Hollywood to study. Dorothy Directs "Scene Stealers" a once a year workshop for Hollywood Agents and Casting Directors.
Presented by De Vore - West Productions.

Dorothy coached Alexa Gonzales who landed the
starring role of the teen "Sylvia" on Finding Hope Now -
Giana Castro age 8 who landed the starring role
of "Angel" and "Alexa " H, teen with a featured role.
Dorothy spent hours on the set with the girls and
made that "difference" in their performances.
Dorothy recently coached Jordan M. age 18 from
Buchanan High, on a series regular role for a
popular Soap Opera and he got a call-back.
As an Actress myself, when I had an interview for
a role in a T.V. Show or Film in L.A., I went to my
Acting Coach. It's so important to your career -
As my daughter became a child and teen actress -
when she had an interview for "The Burbs" -
"Iron Eagle" - "Gremlins II' and the list goes on-
I called her acting coach, it gave her the confidence
for that audition. She would book the role. Parents - don't coach your children - Let us professionals do that.

When you are an actor, your workshops, private
coaching, etc... is a tax write off. Work with professionals who have worked in Hollywood for years. De Vore Studios is your "Hollywood Connection"
Don't miss Director Matt Sconces workshop on
March 20th... Carollyn is sure Matt will receive
an Oscar someday - he is so talented.
