 Lisa Gold is an actress, author, speaker and entrepreneur growing up in a show business family and encouraged from day one by her comedian father and hilarious, though non-performing, mother. A graduate of the acclaimed North Carolina School of the Arts, she also attended the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music before leaving to study acting privately with renown acting teachers Gordon Hunt and Darryl Hickman. Working professionally since age 16, she has made an income from acting or singing every year since, performing for Presidents, Astronauts (the 20th anniversary of the first lunar landing) and audiences worldwide. A member of SAG, AFTRA and EQUITY, her resume credits include a long list of well known musicals, as well as some groundbreaking new works headed for Broadway, television (most recently the Emmy Award winning daytime drama All My Children), commercials and print. A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE As every actor seeks a “flexible day job”, Lisa and business partner Tony Nation became the proud owners of Actors Connection in the year 2000. Then a small mom and pop networking facility, Actors Connection has since grown into the #1 Networking/Educational studio in New York. From the experience gained over the years being in the heart of the business of show, the need and desire of actors seeking vital connections became tremendously apparent. Though so many had been successful gaining representation, getting auditions and wonderful jobs, Lisa saw that so many more could have better results armed with the knowledge and information she garnered after years of relationships with these agents and casting directors. Her own career took a dramatic shift from performer and business owner to wanting to make a bigger contribution to the artist community. NEW VISTAS Applying this “insider” information along with active networking, Lisa saw would obviously lead to greater career success and so in 2009, she decided to create a new company called Act Outside the Box. Turning her attention to leading seminars on the business of the business with enthusiasm, inspiration and motivation, Lisa delivers vital information not taught in traditional college theatre programs and seemingly, no where else. Taking basic strategies used in traditional advertising and marketing and applying them to a show business career has led many actors to feel liberated and powerful. These actors report that now having a plan of action and “knowing” what they can do to forward their own careers puts them at cause in the matter instead of waiting for their “big break”. MISSION AND VISION Lisa’s underlying purpose in everything she does is to end the “Starving Artist” syndrome by aligning with like-minded individuals and entities who believe creative artists deserve to make a great living at their chosen profession. This comes from her great passion and desire to make a contribution to as many people as possible so that their desires become reality. Living the dream instead of dreaming the dream are what Act Outside the Box and Lisa Gold are bringing to actors daily!
