Before I start writing my review, there are 2 things I want to share if you are a talent reading…read morethis or someone interested in getting into this business. 1. I don't know how casting directors spend their "off" time but when they are casting, they are one of the hardest working people I know. 2. If you get notice of audition, it means they think you have a chance of getting the booking- they've already spent their time & prescreened you so JUST SHOW UP & BE ON TIME! Don't throw the opportunity away! Now to Good Faith- I first auditioned for Good Faith many, many years ago for an America's Best commercial (got a callback and almost booked) and during that audition the impression I had of Faith was she's a nice person and I haven't changed my mind since then. I've auditioned for her more in years past and there has been times when I've felt like I totally flopped or was way too nervous cause those who know me knows I can sell ice to the Eskimos- but for whatever reason when I start thinking too much about the auditions, ping pong balls start bouncing in mind and I can be like a deer facing headlights. Which mind you, has nothing to do with the casting director. Faith and Bella are great, they want you to succeed. So when you read this, and it reminds you of yourself, just know you're not alone in feeling nervous or whopped out. There are some actors that are naturals and I've met a few of them. They naturally shine when recorded on camera. I can shine too- I just need a bit of guidance. Which brings me to Faith's workshops. First and foremost, they are fun & informative. And Faith is FUNNY when she is teaching. She cracks me up! Last year was a good year, I loved her workshops so much I took them all. (Here's a tip I will share with you- take as many workshops as you can with casting directors. Why? Because when you know what/how they are it's easier and more relaxing to audition for them and when they know YOU, it's easier for them to know what roles suits you!) In fact, I kind of miss them so I will take them again I enjoyed them so much. So if you get the chance, taking some workshops from Faith! Why am I being so candid when it's no secret that casting can be competitive? Well, because I've been lucky enough to be on set a few times and it's a ton of fun. It would be great if someone after they've read this, take a few workshops, do great at their audition, get booked and get on set! The other thing about Faith's workshops is that they are practical. I don't want to write too much details- just take my word for it- you will learn something useful by the end of the workshop. Highly recommend! Oh, and I love Faith & Bella too. The way they interact w each other- what a dynamo team! #goodfaithcasting #sscho47

Called PGG for a 2nd opinion on foundation issues with my home. I reached out and got Bryan, he was…read moregreat on the phone and knowledgeable! No complaints with him at all!!!! After our conversation I was asked to sign a contract. The contract I was asked to sign stated an hourly rate totally understandable and mileage billing, then went into extra costs for a job that wouldn't relate to mine. I met with Brian on site for 35 minutes at my home and he sent 1 email with a follow up after. I received a bill a month later for almost $700. They billed me a half hour for the discussion to find out if they could even help before I signed that contract which was a $110. Then they billed me for 2.5 hours for site visit, and discuss with homeowner $550.00 and $17 mileage which is reasonable. I emailed back upset at that bill. They took off the original phone call as they should since I hadn't signed anything at that point. However, he was onsite 35 minutes and sent 1 email which they say was 30 minutes. Then they inform me that I was being charged an hour drive time for a total 24 mile trip. When I disputed the drive time saying it didn't state that in the contract just mileage. I was told it was a "time and materials" contract which included "ALL" time. I have no issues again paying what is right. I am just disappointed that this wasn't better explained. Also, my fault for not asking, but I had never dealt with a contract like this before. My recommendation going forward is they may want to make sure that when dealing with residential and not commercial clients or contracts that they really spell that out. Ended up paying $450 dollars for something that I thought was only going to be around $250. If you are a residential person just beware, keep your documentation and know what you are signing from them.
