The Halp Network Entertainment Academy holds Mock Sessions to help actors answer this question:
Are you “directable?”

A note that’s inspired you to strive to be the best artist you can be? On the flip side…have you received a note that felt like a personal attack or perhaps has made you question your worth as an artist?
