All,
I received the following from a feature film production coordinator in Los
Angeles. Don’t sell yourself short! Charge what you think it’s worth to teach
someone to ride for “business purposes”. I say it that way because many of us
would normally teach someone for free…
Don’t make the mistake I made. I had the chance to teach Levar Burton to ride a
unicycle for the show Reading Rainbow when I lived in NY. They wanted to know
exactly how long this would take, and I answered honestly by saying it was
impossible to tell if he’d even be able to solo ride after a couple days’
practice. Just tell them the actor “will” ride, and make it happen!
Good luck, John Foss
