Art Lynch4770 Topaz #61Las Vegas, NV 89121(702) 454-1067Lynchlv@aol.comMay 12, 2003Professor Ellis Pryce-JonesDepartment of TheaterUniversity of Nevada, Las VegasSir;The following document represents the second of two documents to besubmitted for fulfillment of the requirements of THA 795 for the springsemester, 2003. I have broken it into three parts: The Craft, Terms of the CraftGlossary and Things Actors Should Know From Working Professionals.This text is a work in progress, prototype of what I hope to be a useful text orinteractive resource for use by anyone interested in entering motion pictures,television or commercial acting as a career, particularly from Las Vegas.The glossary is meant to be casual, as complete as possible, covering manyaspects of the motion picture industry. It is not a dictionary, but a teachingtool, complete with honest evaluations and web or e-mail citations for furtherstudy.The advice sections (including casting directors, agents, actors, directors andgeneral entertainment professionals) will be expanded and updated over time. These are based on interviews I conducted or on seminars I attended orcoordinated, primarily through the Screen Actors Guild. It is my intent to addadditional Nevada and national industry interviews and references. I haveadditional interviews already set in May, June and later in the summer.The directories, charts and lists are designed to suggest further study and tocompliment the opening introduction to the industry and craft narratives.While some of this work was completed prior to the semester, a great deal of additional information has been added, updates made and the first steps of creating a single document text begun.In preparation and research for this project I completed TCA 497 (PerformingArts Representation and Management) on-line and did an unofficial instructorpermitted audit of TCA 496 (Entertainment on the Road), also on-line. I alsoconducted extensive interviews, both this term and achieved from my SAGConservatory and teaching experience.-Art Lynch
