Safety in Hollywood isn’t optional. It’s essential. Before you step into any audition, you should know: • Who is casting • Where it’s being held • Whether it’s a verified production • If there’s a contract • If a minor needs a parent present Not every opportunity is real. And not every “casting call” is safe. I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years — in Los Angeles and internationally — and I’ve seen both the legitimate doors and the dangerous ones. If you’re new, or if you’re a parent supporting your child’s dream, please understand this: You don’t have to risk safety to chase opportunity. Real productions have: ✔ Verified casting offices ✔ Clear breakdowns ✔ Professional communication ✔ No inappropriate requests ✔ No pressure tactics If something feels rushed, secretive, or “off,” pause. This is exactly why I teach what I teach. Experience isn’t just about getting booked. It’s about knowing how to protect yourself while you build. Hollywood can be incredible. But wisdom has to walk in before ambition does. If you want guidance from someone who has lived it — not just studied it — come join us.

💌 My Dreamy Valentine’s Day 💕 I took an old photo… and made her move. Because why not? If we’re writing our lives in real time, we might as well let our memories blink back at us. ✨ This little Grok moment felt dreamy and nostalgic — like the kind of Valentine’s card you’d pass in class with a folded corner and way too much glitter. I hope you all had a sweet Valentine’s Day — whether it was romantic, quiet, creative, or just chocolate-powered. 🍫 Did you get any cards? Flowers? A surprise text from the past? Or did you spend the day loving yourself a little louder? Drop it below. I want to hear. 💕 Because sometimes the best Valentine is the one who survived the story… and kept writing it. — Cristal
