ACTRA Alberta & ACTRA Manitoba have engaged the training services of Atlanta-based dialect coach Amani Dorn to grow the talent pool of Black performers looking to increase their skills and knowledge of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) accents and dialects.

Managing your career is a big part of the business of being an actor and booking work is just part one of the financial equation.  Actor/self-manager Jan Skene will enlighten you as to the ins and outs of the paperwork, money trail and online resources; and Talent Agent Paul Christie (The Characters Talent Agency) will provide insight into the role agents play in the Actor-Agent relationship.
