Hey there Actors, Actresses and Parents who LOVE them,

It has been a wild ride lately. I've met and worked with a number of students with a lot of potential this summer and am looking forward to continuing to develop those students. I'm excited to get back teaching my regular students who were in LA this summer working on their careers as well!

What an exciting summer this has been, with so many success stories! Please take a look at the section "Bookings" and "Update on my LA-based Students". I have never been more proud of the results of all of my students' work. It's been very emotional for me to see how far each one of my students have come. I can't tell you how much joy it brings me.

The SCHEDULE is out! It took me some time to make it work, but I figured it out! I will be flying back and forth between LA and Dallas each week to catch Cody's 'Dancing with the Stars' performance and elimination night in LA, and then, will catch the early flight (7am) back to Dallas to be here each week on Wednesday to teach my students and your children/teens from Wednesday - Saturday. Should be exciting and fun! We have two REALLY awesome workshops coming up and I can not be more excited about both of them this year. Take a look at the section called "Upcoming Workshops" and mark your calendar so you and your child can be a part of these huge events! There will even be a long parent seminar for you where you can learn as well, with a question and answer period - and don't worry, you don't have to do any performing! (HA!)

I am looking forward to working with your sons and daughters this Fall and Winter helping them reach the goals they want. Most of the students who have had success in this business trained in our program for years. They knew it took time to develop all the skills required just like it takes a ballet dancer to be a professional. Cody Linley has been taking classes for 12 years and helps train other actors. Demi Lovato took for about six years and Madison Pettis, as young as she was, took for almost 2 ½ years.

These students worked hard on their craft having their homework down every week, ready to learn, ready to listen, being the best student they could be. Their yearning to learn gave them the ability to be able to do all kinds of roles and help them learn how to stand out and make the most of the talent they were given. I believe the guidance and class-work has given them a strong foundation that will see them through hard times in LA when others break and fall away.

I see some of that same potential right now in students that I am developing, just like the potential I saw in these stars I've mentioned, but it takes more than potential and talent. It also takes skill, patience, perseverance, realistic expectations, the understanding that an actor must always be learning and growing or else he or she is going backwards or becoming stale.

I wonder who will be the ones that will make it? Who will strive to become the masters of the craft of acting? Even if you can't ever reach the goal (because there is always something more to learn, even for Academy Award-winning actors), it's a goal worth trying for if your child is a true, genuine actor at heart.

I want us all to think about ways to encourage our actors and actresses and continue to support and find ways to give them hope. I am here to train and mold them and motivate them to be the actors they CAN be. One must really be ready for all kinds of things to handle each audition, screen test and on-set circumstances. I am here to help them know how to handle each one of those and I take this job very seriously.

So many times, I would rather go to work and just be sweet, upbeat and say "Great job!" That would be so EASY! But when a child is in my class and I know that my job is to make them to be the best actor they can be, I know they won't grow from that kind of "feedback" and I won't be helping them reach their dreams. That's why you see me focus-in during class and I begin to figure out how to mold each one to help him or her get what they want! This has to be a TEAM effort. If you do your job at helping encourage them at home, I promise to continue working on getting your child to be the best they can be!

Blessings and Joy,
Cathryn Sullivan

UPDATE OF MY LA-BASED STUDENTS:

I am in constant contact with my LA-based students. They are part of our Acting Family. Here they are:

DEMI LOVATO- She's been touring with the Jonas Brothers this summer all over the country and is about to release her CD. She is about to start work on her very own Disney show called Welcome to Holliwood, (and she is Holli!). She and Selena have their Disney Channel movie coming up soon called Princess Protection Program! (There is even more but her momma, Dianna, is in London right now (as I write this) and this is all she could give us right now.

Dianna always texts and emails me her thanks for helping Demi get where she is today. She will say "It's you who helped get her there", and I will say "I'll take some credit, but if you weren't super-mom, this would never have happened, either. You constantly encouraged her, went out of your way to give the girls' the opportunities, and loved them," and of course, her agents Jennifer Patredis (at Kim Dawson at the time) and Mitchell Gossett (at CESD at the time) who helped it all come together. It really takes a good team effort!

SELENA GOMEZ- She has been shooting many episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place and Disney has just ordered more episodes! Her new movie is coming out on DVD called Another Cinderella Story and is having it's premiere this Sunday! It is having a limited release and one of the movie theaters is going to be Grapevine Mills! (COOL!) She made this year's Teen Vogue edition of Young Hollywood, Variety's Power Youth Edition and Hollywood Reporters Young Hollywood under the "IT" girl category. Her mother, Mandy, writes me "We are truly blessed! Lots of exciting things! You are a huge factor! If you wouldn't have coached her for her big Disney audition, none of these great opportunities would be in play!!"

LOGAN HENDERSON- Nickelodeon booked him (after he was on hold for months) for a new pilot about a boy band which many feel will be Nick's rival to Disney's Hannah Montana. Logan gets to sing! Go Logan!

JOSH BLAYLOCK- He booked a part on a feature film called Sh*^year playing against Ellen Barkin. He had to smoke a cigarette for his part which he found quite challenging!

MADISON PETTIS: Seven Pounds comes out Nov. 19, with Will Smith! There is Oscar buzz surrounding this movie. Free Style will be in theaters Jan. 23, 2009, where she plays Corbin Blue's little sister. Her movie, Mostly Ghostly, in which she is the star comes out of DVD Sept. 30, and will also air on Disney Channel sometime in October.

She is now about to start work on The Muppets: Letters to Santa in New York City where she is the only child lead and she will be working with people like Whoopi Goldberg.

SAVANNAH GIPSON has now officially moved to LA. She just booked a co-star on The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Her Momma writes me, "I knew you'd be proud of your student so I wanted you to know".

MY SON, CODY LINLEY: Since a lot of you have been asking about him about how Cody's been doing, and what he's been doing , I decided to make a special section just about Cody and if you are NOT interested, you can just skip this section. He's been through so many crazy and different things lately, from shooting in the desert with late night call times to running from the papparazzi to learning how to ballroom dance for Dancing with the Stars and even playing Jesus! He decided to open himself to many opportunities this year and has learned so much!

DISNEY CHANNEL GAMES- He learned how to be able to work as a host of a show for Disney Channel Games online. Many of you shared how great you thought he did at that job, and you have been so sweet to say you were NOT surprised. I was, because he had never really done that before, but it was a lot of fun for him and he enjoyed it so much. I was so happy that Disney included me in the invitation and enjoyed so much seeing so many of my students in a professional environment. It was one of the coolest moments for me in the world when I saw Demi singing at her first big concert and I was there seeing Selena Gomez, Jennifer Stone and Cody cheering her on, students I helped train. (Madison Pettis wasn't there this year because she was working on "Mostly Ghostly"). The nights were filled with fun after working during the day. Cody hung with his friends and met a lot of new Disney friends and I hung out with mine and I met a bunch of new friends as well, and of course, there were parties!!

FORGET ME NOT- Also, he has tried forever to be cast as a quirky nerd and none of the studios have really seen him as that kind of character, so he tried out for an independent film called Forget me Not where he plays the quirky, kind of nerdy brother of the star who also likes to hang out with her friends. Carly Shroeder plays his older sister even though she actually IS younger. It is an edgy horror flick and he loved the entire cast. A lot of the movie was filmed in a desert outside of the LA area and most of the shoot times were like 11pm-11am or 2am-4pm! Yep, 12-15 hours, six days a week sometimes! That's what happens when you turn 18, but he loved every minute of it. I can't really say what else he got to do in that film because it will spoil the movie for you but he gets to play a fiend in one of the dream sequences! This was the first movie that Cody has ever done where I didn't even go on the set for a day! It was sad for me, but made Cody feel like a grown-up.

WORD OF PROMISE- Of course, the job of Jesus for Jim Caviezel's Word of Promise was not an easy job. Trying to say the words like Jesus would have and the way Jesus might have meant it was a very big and awesome responsibility. He and the director took that responsibility seriously where he worked to say Jesus' words with authority and yet kindness and understanding. My hubby and I were able to go to one of the voiceover sessions. It was a great moment for me watching that session.

DANCING WITH THE STARS- Of course, the craziest and wildest ride for him is the Dancing with the Stars segment of his life. He had been asked to have a meeting with them and at first, he was like "I don't know how to dance!", but he held a meeting with DWTS and the more he thought about it, the more he thought "Why not?! It looks like fun and will be a challenge for myself!" Now, he's learning how to dance from an emmy-nominated choreographer (Julianne Hough) everyday and having the time of his life. I am told the show draws between 18- 26 million viewers. He can only stay on if we all VOTE for TEAM CODY AND JULIANNE every Monday night AND the first week, he needs votes for both Monday AND Tuesday as they have to learn TWO dances the first week. (The first week of DWTS begins Sept. 22, 23 and 24, and is on ABC). I was able to go watch a rehearsal one day and I was amazed at how wonderful they look already. Cody raves about what a wonderful teacher Julianne is. He really thinks she is one of the most talented girls he's ever met.

DEALING WITH THE PAPARAZZI- In the meantime, he has been trying to learn how to deal with the paparazzi. They followed him and Miley to his apartment one night when they were just hanging out and stayed downstairs waiting for them for FOUR hours until he was driving her home at 10:00pm (early night) when they surrounded his car. They got in front of his car and wouldn't move and he was really afraid he was going to hit one of them.

YOUR STORIES! Many of you have been so sweet to give him your support and prayers. You've all been so sweet to give me your special "Cody stories" now that he is living in LA. I've missed him, not only as a mom who misses her son, but I miss him as he was a wonderful employee who was always there to help, coach, and give guidance to our students.

Madison Pettis' mom, Michelle, recently shared with me that it was Cody who helped coach Madison the day of the Joey Paul workshop when Joey Paul noticed her (Joey cast her for Cory in the House and noticed her here at EBF where she did a workshop for my students). Michelle shared "Cody was the one who coached Madison that day and gave her confidence. He kept telling her "You can do it". Thanks Michelle for sharing that.

Cody was also the one who put Demi on tape for Camp Rock (as I was in Aruba that week), which got her the screen test that got her the job that is now helped her make DISNEY history.

Cody also asks about many of your children by name when I go out to see him and want to know how they are developing. He can't wait to see how you guys are doing and he still wants to do an Improv Workshop or two when his schedule allows. He plans to take some time off during December and first of January so maybe we can lure him back then!

THANKS! Thanks so much for being interested in my son's career as it truly is a delight for me to watch and I'm so proud of him, but at the same time SCARED because he is in LA without me THREE states away. (At least my other three boys are in the same state and I can get to them within a few hours drive if they need me.)

I appreciate all of your prayers and support so much.

Thank you sincerely,
Cathryn Sullivan

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS!

We are not taking money for either one of these workshops yet, but, (drum roll please!), I want you to save the date for the upcoming workshops. MITCHELL GOSSETT of UTA (one of the top 5 agencies in the world), JENNIFER PATREDIS AND MELISSA BERGER (both at CESD, one of the best children's agencies in the world) are all coming back to do a workshop for us during the weekend before Thanksgiving, Nov. 22-23.

Before that, he was on staff as a casting director with Stuart Howard Associates in NYC. Broadway: The Graduate, Fortune's Fool, Annie (Revival), Grease (Revival), Chicago (Revival) and many more.

She was even a DIRECTOR of one of the Hannah Montana episodes - one that Cody was in!!! These are two big, very important, behind the scenes Disney people and I am soooo excited to be able to bring them to my students here in Texas. They are very excited to come.

Please understand, in order to get everyone registered in a timely manner, we will not be able to handle program questions during this week.

3. What is the email address for registration?

- Emails must contain the following information:
SUBJECT LINE: Student's Name & Name of Class
In the email please include:
Student's Full Name
Current age and grade completed
Classes that you want to register for prioritized by 1st choice, 2nd choice, etc.
Parent's name and daytime phone number

- Students will be registered in the order that we receive your email. The only exception to this is AC1 & FILM 1 classes. These classes will be filled by the order of the interest/wait list first, and then opened up to the general public.
- You will receive a confirmation email or call that you have been successfully registered for your classes. You will have 24 hours to either call or come in and make payment in full for your classes.
- To be fair to all our Acting for Film families, emails received prior to the registration day or before 7am on the day of registration will not be accepted.

5. What is Express Registration and how do I sign-up for it?
Express Registration is part of our ongoing effort to make the acting registration process easier for you. We now have the ability to securely store your credit card information for future class registrations. We store this information in your family file so when you send an email request for a class, if your child is enrolled in the class, your payment will automatically be made and you will receive an email confirmation. This eliminates the steps of you waiting for call from us, and having to worry about calling back in the 24 hour period. To sign-up for Express Registration, contact the front desk for the necessary paperwork.

6. What happens if the classes that I try to register for are full? Occasionally this happens. Once a class is full, we begin a waiting list for that specific class, day and time. If there are any openings, we fill those spots in the order of the waiting list.

7. Which class should my child be in? Acting for Camera 1 or Film 1? Placement depends solely on the child's current age and current or just completed grade. Acting for Camera (AC) classes Kindergarten through 3rd grade Film classes 4th grade through 12th grade Please note, during the summer the student must have completed Kindergarten or 4th grade to be considered for one of these classes.

8. What if my child has previous acting experience or acting classes?
Because our classes are progressive in nature, all students start with AC1 or Film 1. Some parents have expressed concerns that their child might be more advanced than the other students in the class because of their previous experience. We have found even the experienced actor gains new insight into his or her acting ability by following our progression of classes. In addition, our classes require some experience and Mrs. Sullivan keeps informed of all students taking classes in her program, even those that she does not personally teach. If there is a rare student that needs to move to a higher level class, the parent will be contacted. However, this is on an invitation only basis.

9. After finishing AC1 or Film 1, what next?
Students move up to the next level within the same series.

10. What if my child took a previous Cathryn Sullivan's Acting for Film class but it was a while ago?
Generally, if you are in beginning AC or Film classes, and it has been more than one year since you have taken your class, Mrs. Sullivan asks that you repeat the last class you took. In some cases, especially in Film classes, you may be asked to begin the series again if needed. Higher level students need to get written class placement by Mrs. Sullivan before registering for classes.

11. How do you transition from AC classes to Film classes?
Once a student completes 4th grade, they may move to Film classes. Please keep in mind there is not a direct correlation between the numbering of AC classes and Film classes. Therefore most students start with Film 1 classes, unless they have completed AC3 or higher and then they start in Film 2. The reason for this is Film classes are not only progressive, but they are more challenging and demanding of the student.

12. Why is there such a strict registration process?
We are frequently asked this question by new Acting for Film families. However, just ask some of the families that have been around for a while and you will understand. Mrs. Sullivan's classes are in high demand because the success of so many of her students. She is the "go to" acting coach for many LA casting directors and studio execs. Students come from all over the country to take her classes. In the old registration process, people would sit for hours (and some even slept in their cars) to make sure they got into the classes. The current registration process was designed to eliminate the amount of time you have to spend to register for a class, and it gives everyone the same opportunity. We are constantly trying to improve the systems so watch for more exciting changes in the future!

Cathryn Sullivan's Acting for Film at EveryBody Fits

Hi Actors, Actresses and Parents who Love Them!

I am writing this newsletter in L.A. as we are almost finished with most of the classes in May session. It was really fun to travel all over the country with Cody and watch he and many of my other students as they worked on these fun and exciting dream projects, but it was comforting to come back and work with my students here in Texas challenging and developing them.

I have such a great job! I love going to work each day to your children, my students, and I wonder who will be our next Demi Lovato, Cody Linley, Madison Pettis or Selena Gomez. Who will be the next break-out star or working actor who will rise above and move ahead? There is so much potential coming in and out of my classes everyday, but it is you and your child's diligence, patience, resilience, business etiquette, work ethic and above all- their love for acting that could make that possible.

I am looking forward to the intensive Summer Sessions as I've seen my students grow so much when they are working on their acting skills everyday! I see a huge learning jump in many of my students! Look for your child's class. There are even a few weekend intensives for those of you who work during the week. Look for them.

Blessings,
Cathryn Sullivan

BOOKINGS:
Lots of bookings even though there is the threat of a Screen Actor's Strike although some say it is looking more promising than ever right now. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope negotiations go well.

I went on the set of Word of Promise yesterday with my hubby watching our son, CODY LINLEY where he has worked very hard almost everyday and has been for the last several months. His JAKE RYAN DOLL came out in Target this past week. It's really cool!!! Buy a Cody doll! (HA!) The NEWEST news on Cody is that he was offered TWO movie projects this week. One is an independent film where he gets to play an edgy, quirky character (a lead) in a horror flick and he gets killed at the end. This movie was closed this week and the other movie starts late Summer/Early Fall where he will be a lead and it is a big movie! More to come on that. The bad news for US is that he won't be able to teach the Improv class in June since the movie will interfere, but possibly will be able to teach the last of July or first of August. More on that as his schedule gets clearer. He really misses teaching and wants to make it work, so don't give up!

For fun, in Cody's spare time (which is rare), He is working on a Youtube show called "The Ro and Co show" where he raps with another Disney friend from Camp Rock. (Check it out and go to www.youtube.com and put in "Ro and Co show"!)

His roommate, JOSH BLAYLOCK is working on a period piece/TV show right now in Georgia playing a half-Navaho Indian. It's called "The John Ross project" right now.

The other roommate, LOGAN HENDERSON is still on hold for a Nick project. Yes, you are right, it has been a long time that he has been on hold. Such is the life of an actor.

AUSTIN AND BEN LUX are in New Orleans right now playing Harry Connick's son with Renee Zellwegger Executive Producing! Cool, eh? Look on the wall behind where I sit in the Film 1 room and you will see new pictures. It is LOGAN MILLER on the set of "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". Let's just say Logan is photographed with what People Magazine call one of the "Sexy Men Ever" (Hint: He always has his shirt off). Also in that movie was Jennifer Garner and Michael Douglas. MORE ON MY DISNEY KIDS: I talked to MADISON PETTIS mom last week and she said Madison worked on a film with Will Smith this year called "Seven Pounds". She worked on it after the film with Corbin Blue and before "Mostly Ghostly" which she just finshed recently. Busy girl!!

SELENA GOMEZ and JENNFIER STONE started work back on Wizards of Waverly Place the week after the filming of the Disney Channel Games and when I touched base with DEMI LOVATO's mom this week, she texted me that they were in Spain doing some international stuff with Disney. Word is that Demi's pilot called "Sketchpad" got picked up at Disney. It will go into a full-fledged show soon. She is doing a House of Blues tour now and is touring with the Jonas Brothers after that! ANOTHER BUSY GIRL!

SETH GINSBERGH booked a small role on Without a Trace. He and LINDSEY BLACK's show "As the Bell Rings" will be back on Disney soon! They shot a whole lot of shows this Spring. Lindsey touched base with me a few weeks ago and told me the Teen magazines were interviewing her and she was "SOOOO glad she did the interviewing sessions in class because they really helped her"! (I'm so glad!)

SAVANNAH GIPSON booked an independent film called Dixon Diaries. She gets to play a mean girl and it films somewhere in North USA.

AIDEN MARTINEZ-VITELA (who drove from San Antonio to Coppell for Film 1, 2, 3 and 4) just booked a short called "Runaway" and a time warner commercial.

TIFFANY MCMANUS has been busy. She booked two industrials for Reliant Health and Recession, Proof your Home. She also did a voiceover animation for a new toy, Queeties and landed a SAG film "A Tribute to Big Red". LAYLA ROSTAMI booked an independent feature shooting in Oklahoma called the Fourth Wall.

ZACHARY FRIEDMAN booked a small role in Prison Break and filmed it in LA. JADEN ROBERTS & DAWSON HOLDEN(?) did a Direct energy commercial. BRAEDEN KENNEDY voiced an animated character named Dash for PBS Island.

STEPHANIE SWART booked Sorry Sliders Hasbro commercial.

JULY AND AUGUST CLASSES!

Cathryn Sullivan's Acting for Film
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Which class should my child be in? Acting for Camera 1 or Film 1? Placement depends solely on the child's current age and current or just completed grade. Acting for Camera (AC) classes: Kindergarten through 3rd grade Film classes: 4th grade through 12th grade Please note, during the summer the student must have completed Kindergarten or 4th grade to be considered for one of these classes.

2. What if my child has previous acting experience or acting classes? Because our classes are progressive in nature, all students start with AC1 or Film 1. Some parents have expressed concerns that their child might be more advanced than the other students in the class because of their previous experience. We have found even the experienced actor gains new insight into his or her acting ability by following our progression of classes. In addition, our classes require some experience and Mrs. Sullivan keeps informed of all students taking classes in her program, even those that she does not personally teach. If there is a rare student that needs to move to a higher level class, the parent will be contacted. However, this is on an invitation only basis.

3. After finishing AC1 or Film 1, what next? Students move up to the next level within the same series.

4. What if my child took a previous Cathryn Sullivan's Acting for Film class but it was a while ago? Generally, if you are in beginning AC or Film classes, and it has been more than one year since you have taken your class, Mrs. Sullivan asks that you repeat the last class you took. In some cases, especially in Film classes, you may be asked to begin the series again if needed. Higher level students need to get written class placement by Mrs. Sullivan before registering for classes.

5. How do you transition from AC classes to Film classes? Once a student completes 4th grade, they may move to Film classes. Please keep in mind there is not a direct correlation between the numbering of AC classes and Film classes. Therefore most students start with Film 1 classes, unless they have completed AC3 or higher and then they start in Film 2. The reason for this is Film classes are not only progressive, but they are more challenging and demanding of the student.

6. How do we find out about upcoming classes? Make sure you are on our email list as this is how our class schedules are announced. To sign-up to receive emails go to www.EveryBody-Fits.com and click on Acting for Film and then Join our Mailing List.

7. When do we register for classes? We have what we call Registration Week. Registration is done by email only. Each level of class has an assigned registration day starting with Masters classes and working down to AC1 & Film 1 classes. During this week, we focus on class registration and payment only. Please understand, in order to get everyone registered in a timely manner, we will not be able to handle program questions during this week.

9. What is the email address for registration? Acting4Film@EveryBody-Fits.com
10. What happens if the classes that I try to register for are full? Occasionally this happens. Once a class is full, we begin a waiting list for that specific class, day and time. If there are any openings, we fill those spots in the order of the waiting list.
11. Why is there such a strict registration process?
We are frequently asked this question by new Acting for Film families. However, just ask some of the families that have been around for a while and you will understand. Mrs. Sullivan's classes are in high demand because the success of so many of her students. She is the "go to" acting coach for many LA casting directors and studio execs. Students come from all over the country to take her classes. In the old registration process, people would sit for hours (and some even slept in their cars) to make sure they got into the classes. The current registration process was designed to eliminate the amount of time you have to spend to register for a class, and it gives everyone the same opportunity. We are constantly trying to improve the systems so watch for more exciting changes in the future!
