Gwyn's Crash Commercial Course is excellent! Even for someone who has been in the biz for awhile--this course gives you all the up-to-date info that is going on in casting of commercials. Gwyn gives you great info on how to book that commercial all the way from your slate to your button at the end. It's not just about reading copy--and Gwyn gives you the "how to" for the whole audition process. Very enlightening and worth every penny!!
You might meet an Acting teacher/coach who has been successful in Entertainment, someone who knows the business inside out, someone who is a good teacher, & someone who truly cares about her students-- but it is exceedingly rare that you would find ALL of these wonderful qualities in ONE individual... But you absolutely 'do find all of this and more in Gwyn Gilliss. Don't cheat yourself- she is a gift to actors- sign up for one of Gwyn's classes NOW!
Gwyn's Crash class was fantastic! I learned many secrets about how to book commercials.She is lots of fun to be with.As an Image consultant and Marketing expert she accompanied me for my photo shoot.She is a great coach, teacher, and a very nice person.
Gwen is the real deal! A business-minded woman who has "been there" with her own career and therefore has up-to-the-minute ideas for how each actor she works with can vault to the next level, her coaching is invaluable. Her feedback is always on point, always no "BS." I appreciate her actionable approach with specific steps I can accomplish. Having worked with so many other wannabe coaches, I urge my actor friends to utilize all that Gwen offers.
Gwyn is more than just an experienced coach. She advises better networking skills, NO FREEBIE PROJECTS (all should have an idea what I'm talking about) and not spinning your wheels about thiings that are not working for you. Her Commercial Class Course is such an eye-opener, it was more than what I assumed it was. Spend the $$$ to succeed. Take charge of your career, think out the box. Thank you Gwyn.
I've had the pleasure of working with Gwyn several times. I took her commercial crash course twice and participated in the NY Actor's Marathon last year. Gwyn is no joke. If she says she'll get in you in front of agents and casting directors, she will. Her years of experience are invaluable for an actor trying to navigate through all the BS there is out there. We all know, there is a lot of nonsense. I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't fulfill contractual obligations. That would a rookie mistake, not a mistake of someone who's been in the business for this long. For serious actors, I strongly suggest going to some of Gwyn's free seminars to get more information. You can also sign up for her marketing tips which will be sent to your email. If she's a good fit for you, you will know immediately. She has a strong personality and has no qualms about pointing out your flaws as well as your good points. If you prefer to only hear what you want to hear, get advice somewhere else. This is the acting game, people. This showbiz world is VERY SMALL. If Gwyn spent the last twenty years hustling people, she wouldn't currently be in business. I hope this helps anyone who is considering working with her. Best of luck!
Seriously people, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE! You'd be MUCH better off going to Actors Connection or The Network. Gwyn is overpriced and, while on the surface very nice and friendly, she'll tell you what you want to hear in order to get your money. She always seemed fake to me. I signed up for her Sizzle Reels and was told (it even says in the contract) that she'll write scenes specifically for you and then she gave me a scene that I saw on someone else's reel! AND, I never got the three scenes promised or contracted. She got a lot of my money and I got a lot of nothing in return. I would not go back to her for anything, seriously!! And I actively dissuade my friends and colleague actors from going to her, too. RIPOFF! If I could give 0 stars, I would.
Gwen Gillis is cool,calm and collective.She dosen't teach.She shares with you her tips & secrets that made her a success.She shows you inside tips you don't even think of.Such as sub-text.When you see her stand up and do it,a light bulb goes off in your mind,and you say to yourself "Why didn't I think of that"? When I book my first commercial,It will be because I took the Gwen Gillis Intesive Crash Commercial Course.Johnny Dee Damato.
Since meeting Gwyn, I found her to be very helpful in guiding me to the next level of my acting career - the level of booking paid work. From her vast experience in the entertainment industry, Gwyn has shared with me many of the fine points of booking jobs in commercials. Her presentation, while playful, is informative with no BS and lots of encouragement. I would advise any actor who is serious about earning a living in the industry to check her out.
If there was --no there is one person who you want to work w/ to change everything you ever percieved [on 'the business'] that has insight & experience plus a marketing brain that would definitely fit Ms. Gwyn! She is brilliant, super friendly, funny & supportive & more than an awesome personality knows her stuff! Plus she can tell us in laement terms because for the most part it registers better that way! She is such a great person who is extremely humble and beneficial! Ask anyone & they'd have the same opinion err lets say facts of her! [There isn't enough stars to acknowledge the worth of tools, info & encouragement she gives you!]
Gwyns support and knowledge has been invaluable. I now have up to date high quality marketing tools and more information and advise about making acting a business than ever. Gwyn is fun and is to the point! This lady doesn't mess around! She is only for the performer that is ready to take his/her career to the next level. So if you are serious and ready give her shout. I am glad I did.
Gwyn has been a great and valuable asset to my career. She has given me the tools and extensive career advice & has helped me get to the next level. I recommend her to anyone ready to progress professionally whether ii be in film, TV, modeling, or theater :)!
