Is it true, what they say?
"I have found that one of the most difficult things about having a career as an actor is maintaining the confidence to forge ahead. Whether it be as a result of rejection, lack of faith, or just plain confusion, sometimes it's difficult to remember that this is MY career and I'm in control. Erin Cronican's "The Actors Enterprise" provided me with the tools I needed to remember that this is a business and it's much easier than it seems. I gained confidence in my path because Erin exudes her own incredible confidence with her work. She helps to simplify the acting industry mystery and it is obvious her goal with this company is to see you succeed. I feel more prepared, confident, and most importantly, inspired!" -
"Erin is a patient, caring and encouraging coach. She's full of great ideas, sharp insights and tons of enthusiasm. Working with her has been like having my very own cheerleader behind me as I continue to venture out into the wild world of acting!" -
"Erin is an absolutely wonderful coach. Not only is her insight in the business very helpful, but the way she works with you and plays with the pieces helps you relax and get more out of the session. I leave each session feeling more confident in my pieces and have the knowledge to apply the things I've learned to new pieces. And not only have I noticed that auditors pay more attention to me at auditions, but I feel so much better about them." -
“Erin really helped me nail my cover letters! She also provided a lot of enlightenment into the marketing side of acting and business endeavors in general. She is extremely personable and reliable. She always gets back to me right away whenever I have a question. I HIGHLY recommend her!” -
“Erin is a smart and passionate expert in her field; she has a wealth of knowledge about the acting business and audtioning in particular -- both in San Diego and New York. She is a tireless advocate for actors and dedicated to worthy causes nationwide. Her charitable giving is admirable; and her work for the community and individual artists is always first-rate. Erin is one of the most caring and driven people I have ever had the pleasure with whom to work; if you choose to tap into her expertise and avail yourself of what she can do for you, you won't be disappointed.” -
"I have been an actor, singer, and voice teacher for over thirty-five years but have always had difficulty with "the business" part of show business. After working in a musical with Erin and admiring her business acumen and tenacity I asked her to help me build my very first website. Not only was she patient and calm with me as a rank beginner, she was a creative and wonderful collaborator. Erin has now become what I consider to be one of my most important partners in this "business we call show." She is always there for me, and I like to feel am there for her. Networking is the name of the game and Erin, through her blogs, newsletters, constant researching, teaching, accumulation of knowledge, and abundant energy is an invaluable resource for any actor, new or old hand. There are so many people out there who are trying to use actors for their own nefarious purposes. Not Erin. She's the real deal. Take advantage of her services while you still can before she becomes a great big star and has no time for you." -
"Not only is Erin a good actress, she has an extremely good eye. Like, when you send your actor friends your new headshots and ask that they help you pick (as you undoubtedly helped them pick theirs) and as they too are actors they SHOULD know what you are going for: what you are trying and should sell? What you look like etc. etc... And then you end up getting either, "Oh you look pretty in that one" or "Your &%^* looks good in this one" or they pick the worst shots because they don't want to see you get anywhere - OR - maybe they don't get back to you at all! The list goes on - Well, if you need that kind of help I would disregard them and book with Erin. She will give you her DETAILED opinion on which headshots she would choose and why, and she's pretty DEAD SPOT on. Thanks, Erin!" -
"I was a mess before Erin! She listened to my goals and gave me a guideline of how to move forward. She is always available if you have a question or an audition coming up. She truly cares and supports her clients. I have booked more jobs since I've met with her than I ever have in the past. The Actors' Enterprise is a great asset for any actor, at any level. Five stars from me!" -
"Erin has sharp business savvy and is a wonderful, generous human being. Her insights were spot on during my headshot selection process. Erin's knowledge of marketing, web design and writing skills are an invaluable resource for any actor looking to further their career. And she is generous, gracious and fun in sharing her many talents." -
"Contacts such as Erin Cronican have been extremely helpful for me in determining how to market myself, finding out how far I need to go."
"Erin definitely knows what she is talking about and she is very encouraging to people at all skill levels. I really felt like she wanted to see me succeed."
"I thought your private coaching was very professional and helpful. I would definitely like to work with you again. You definitely helped me in many ways to fully understand the monologues and the characters. You gave me lots of creative feed back- very insightful. Thanks!"
"I was totally happy with the service you provided, Erin. In particular I was impressed with your quick intelligence that cut to the essence of my monologues: you saw in five minutes (or less!) what I had not seen in months of studying the text. And, as one of your other testimonials says, you're very nice in the way you communicate to your students. We all need a coach who will treat us well and build us up in confidence. I most certainly would recommend you!" -
"My goal was definitely obtained in [ just ] one session with Erin. She very precisely answered the questions I had regarding the business and lifestyle of actors in this area. I was encouraged to learn that many actors do have day jobs, and that almost all of the auditions, practices, and performances accommodate the standard workday. One need not forfeit all income to pursue acting! In our one session, she also laid out the options I had to get started in acting and provided many contacts. Her knowledge of the theatre scene is invaluable to both rookies and to acting veterans."
"Thanks again for such an informative meeting -- I can tell that Abbey is making huge leaps she would not have taken without your input. If you ever have someone (especially parents) reluctant to spend the money on your services have them get in touch with me! I think you are worth every cent."
"I just need to tell you that I marvel at your patience, caring, concern, and attention to detail. Your critique of my resume was clear, concise, detailed and extremely helpful, and easy to follow. I thank you for all the time you took with it." -
" Thank you so much for your votes of confidence. I really appreciated your candor and comments on my performance. I'm eager to work on the changes to improve them as well as distill both pieces down to a total of three minutes. Again, thank you so much for your time yesterday and your critique of my performance and ideas for improvement. I know they will help me to achieve a level of quality that I am seeking!"
"Erin- You were fabulous! SO MUCH great, easy to understand and easy to follow information! So great, that I am passing your e-mail onto Coronado School of the Arts. They use guest speakers for some of their classes and I suggested to them that they invite you to do a resume workshop with their students. Again, thank you for your time and expertise. Hope things work out with Coronado – these kids really need a bit more real work contact and you deserve the fee."
"Erin - Thank you so much for all your help last night! It cleared up so many of my questions as a parent. It is so hard to know how to help Alice when she is so passionate in an area I know very little about! I was so impressed with your attitude and work ethic, thank you again for your expertise."
Professional Recommendations (from colleagues)
"Dear Erin, Now THAT is what I call a great answer to a poster's question! In a business fraught with "experts" offering advice of dubious value to actors, it's refreshing to find someone who actually seems to know what they're talking about! A fan, Robert." -
"Nice information on your blog. Ran into [ it ] tonight - can't figure if you are in San Diego or NY, or both. Well done. Regards," -
"I have known Erin for over two years. In that time my experience with her has been nothing but positive. As a director she has helped me keep the focus on my material, she asks timely and powerful questions to allow me to peel back the layers of a text. As a consultant Erin is consistently fully present and has a comprehensive knowledge of the business of acting and how to get noticed. I’ve also had the pleasure of being on stage with Erin. She gives herself one hundred percent and reacts in the moment; always adding subtle nuances to her imaginary life. Anyone who has Erin Cronican in their corner has a confidant, a strong actor, a motivator and a deft marketer all rolled in to one." -
"I have known Erin Cronican for several years now and my admiration has increased more and more over time! Erin first impressed me when we worked together as actors in a standardized patient program in CA. I had just moved to CA from NY and she was incredibly knowledgeable and savvy about the business side of acting- not to mention- equally talented as a performer. I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform in "The Last Five Years" where every night she wowed the audience with her beautiful performance. I worked as a house manager there and can attest that years after that production patrons of the theatre still commented on her portrayal. Erin is an unending source of information for the business. I marvel at her motivation and tenacity and recommend her 100% to all actors of all levels!"
"Erin Cronican is a professional in every aspect of her theatre career. She is organized, dedicated, and intelligent. She understands theatre. I highly recommend her services."-
"Erin Cronican = knowledgeable, talented, organized, real-world solutions to creative world blocks, goal oriented, driven, determined, smart, funny, big-hearted, sassy, cool and honest. And smart, did I say smart? You couldn’t be in better hands – if she doesn’t have the answer, she’ll find it." -
"You want Erin Cronican on your team. She is a no-nonsense, creative team player who makes sure the job not only gets done, but gets done right. Her high level of enthusiasm, communication and attention to detail makes working with her a joy."-
"I wanted to thank you though for all the wonderful information and advice. Even if it's not going to work on this project, it was good for me to hear all about the ins and outs of AEA theatre around town, as both a director, actor and hopefully future producer. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it all to me. You have such wonderful ideas and energy. I hope we get to work together at some point. I would love to see what we could come up with together!"
"Erin- Thank you for acknowledging the work that I did for All Cities ... this past week and for your continuous effort to make people aware of the taping throughout the past month. Your marketing efforts, professionalism, kindness and willingness to help are very much appreciated."
