Expert Coaching For The Business Side of Acting
Are You an Actor Who Wants To Book More Gigs?
Let Me Help You Find Success!
There are a countless number of acting classes you can take to hone your craft and become a more believable actor, but they never really touch on marketing yourself and the business side of acting. That's where Actor's Advantage comes in! If you're an actor who wants to stand out when submitting and auditioning for roles, my expert coaching is perfect for you!
MEET YOUR COACH
My name is Jon Barnes and I'm your new coach. :)
I know acting. In the last two decades I've had the great fortune of having a successful career acting in hundreds of self-produced ads garnering hundreds of millions of views, performing on stages in front of tens of thousands of people, working behind the camera as a commercial producer, director and editor, and teaching at The Second City Training Center in Chicago.
​
My passion is the art of acting: dissecting a script, bringing new characters to life, collaborating with fellow creatives to create powerful and thought-provoking works. But, to be an artist and an actor full-time, you have to be able to handle the business side of the industry. I've created this site to share with you the knowledge I've gained through all of my successes (and let's be honest, failures at times) in this beautiful business. If you're an actor who is passionate about the art but wants to learn about marketing yourself and embrace the business side of acting, I believe my coaching would be perfect for YOU!
