2 Bootcamps in Summer 2024
***June 2024 and August 2024 Bootcamps have been happily filled. Please, consider checking out the Virtual On-Demand Class for now. It’s GREAT!!
Dear Bootcamp 2024 actors,
I hope you have all had a wonderful, restful and fulfilling Holiday!
Each year since 2020 has certainly been different; filled with growth, challenges and much to be grateful for. I am writing to let you know that 2024 will also be like no other year we have experienced, and you will need to stay on the top of your game. Filming challenges will be answered in creative ways, from auditioning to shooting. Technology will keep expanding, and who knows…soon a hologram of Spielberg will stand in your living room as yours will be auditioning in his. What’s important is to stay sharp, stay flexible and stay positive…you are good as long as you are grounded in this work that brings truth to your acting. The rest is can be overcome.
I do need to let you know a bit about what’s been happening in my life. I want to start by saying thank you to everyone for the kind words and thoughtful prayers, over the last few weeks. They are so appreciated. For those who don't know, I've recently been diagnosed with stage III Metastatic Ductal Carcinoma - Breast Cancer. Rest assured I am taking every action to stay on top of this. Unfortunately, I was given late notice of this as there was a clerical error at my doctor’s office, and because of the progression, my road to recovery is tricky. However, I intend to stay on track with my protocol, on top of my doctors, and continue my treatment. With that being said, I want you to know that I will be coaching over ZOOM but I am unable to move forward with all of my in-person on-going classes, and I am instead doing two LIVE ON-LINEBOOTCAMPS in 2024. Please keep me forefront in your thoughts and prayers, and I will see you in either June or August’s BOOTCAMP 2024! Check it out below.
Much love,
Coach Crystal
