Los Angeles, CA— Fresh off the heels of a hugely successful run with his Multi-City Actor’s Workshop & Talent Search in October and November of 2014, David E. Talbert is resuming his Actor’s Workshop & Talent Search and expanding it to additional cities. For those who can't get to Hollywood, David E. Talbert is bringing Hollywood to them.
For the spring 2015 leg of his Actors Workshop & Talent Search, David E. Talbert
will continue to help thousands gain insight into the entertainment
industry when he makes a stop in their city. The tour resumes on April 11th in Atlanta,
GA, followed by stops in Houston, TX on April 18th, Detroit, MI on May
2nd and New York on May 16th. There will be one session per day
scheduled from 9 AM - 3 PM. The registration fee for the workshop is
$250 per person. As an added bonus, everyone who attends the workshop
will also receive a private one-on-one audition the next day with David
E. Talbert for a chance to be cast in his next production.
“The first leg of this tour in the Fall of 2014 was met with such overwhelming response and success that I had to bring it back and give more people in more cities an opportunity to experience the workshop and get their chance at being discovered,” said Talbert. “I just wanted to answer the call to find that next big star. I also wanted to continue to give people in as many cities as I could access to Hollywood in a way they would not normally be able to experience in a very up close and personal way.”
The first person discovered from David E. Talbert’s Fall Installment of his Actor’s Workshop & Talent Search was just cast. On February 19, 2015, the red carpet was rolled out for Teresa Sykes of Chicago, IL when Talbert personally called her and announced that she was the first person to be cast from his Actor’s Workshop & Talent Search Tour.
DAVID E. TALBERT & ACTOR'S WORKSHOP &
TALENT SEARCH WINNER TERESA SYKES OF CHICAGO, IL
Talbert awarded Teresa Sykes with a featured role in “Another Man Will” and a starring role in the DVD version of the play that will be aired across the world. “Another Man Will” centers on Joe and Cynthia Scott. Many see them as the perfect couple...or at least twenty years ago they were. Somewhere in the routine of it all, Joe forgot just how much of a knockout Cynthia is. So, for everything Joe isn’t giving her, another man will.
Teresa will also receive an all-inclusive trip to Los Angeles, a head shot photo shoot and a chance to audition for David E. Talbert’s
next film, slated for release in 2016. Teresa was chosen from hundreds
of attendees from previous workshops in DC, Philadelphia, Dallas,
Chicago and LA.
“Words haven't been created to describe my feelings,” said Teresa Sykes. “This is life-changing. I'm so thankful to God and David E. Talbert
and his wife and producing partner Lyn Talbert and the entire Talbert
staff. I’m beyond blessed. My Father is 83 years old and my Mother is
81 years old and they are alive to see my dreams come true. David E. Talbert
saw and believed in my God given talent. I'm just humbled by this
entire experience. This would not have been possible without taking a
huge step to participate in his Actor’s Workshop.”
Just
like the Fall Tour, attendees from sessions in Atlanta, Houston,
Detroit and New York will all be vying for a chance to also be cast for a
role in Talbert’s play, “Another Man Will.” He will be
choosing winners from the workshop, based on their one-on-one private
auditions with him. Winners of the Talent Search will, not only appear
in the LIVE production of the play, but they will also be included in
the DVD filming of the production.
