So, you love Self-Management for Actors (Thank you!) and you cannot wait to get to downloading your badass, regularly-updated SMFA Hot Sheets, huh?

Awesome!

Start here:

SMFA Talkback Opt-In

By signing up at the Self-Management for Actors website, you’ll be vetted — yes, we check you out, so be sure to use your full name, your best email address, and a link to your acting profile on IMDb (or Actors Access, Spotlight, your own website, etc.) — and then you’ll receive an email with your username and password.

If you don’t have this email within 48 hours, comment here and we’ll check out our list to be sure you made it through. But first, please check out your junk folder (and check out this bit of info about how your email provider may be keeping us apart — and how to fix that). Thanks!

Once you’re on the inside, hit the “Meet the Ninjas” area and introduce yourself!

For updated SMFA Hot Sheets, the NEW location — different login, y’all — is here!

SMFA Hot Sheet at Talkbacks

New content is being added regularly. And you’ll definitely want to join us for the free quarterly SMFA Tune-Up Calls. (Sign up for that goodness, here.)

Keep in mind, the username and password for the PDFs is *not* the same as your Talkback login. Yeah, them’s some hoops to jump through, but they’re worth it, baby.

Wanna be sure your tools *and* your mindset are in peak form? Let us get you in gear with some FREE training right now!

Ooh, such badassery! Let’s jam, shall we?

    Good morning! Had tried to sign up for forum access on Monday 08/17 but still haven’t heard back. I am wondering if part of the problem is that I don’t yet have a website as I’m a complete newbie.
    Let me know please! Thank you!

      Haili, I’ve made sure Keith sees this message so he can get you covered. You *should* be in by now, but without a site, it’s possible he decided your sign-up was a spambot. Hold tight and we’ll get you on the inside today! 🙂 Thanks for your patience!

    Hi, Good Monday Morning. I am having a similar issue as Haili. I registered 9/11/2015 but I did not include a website as I am also just starting out. I was wondering if I could still receive access. Thank You, Ashley

      Hiya Ashley! You should already be set. You were granted access at 11:43am PDT on September 11, the same day you registered. 99% of the time, your username and password is in your spam filter or junk mail. Please take a look there and then text Keith at 323.397.7576 if you cannot find the access email! 🙂

    Hello Bonnie,

    I was trying to do day 3 of the 11 day challenge where it requires to log in to the talkback forums. The problem I’m having is it doesn’t recognize my username or email. I tried the forgot password and it still won’t recognize my email which is odd since i’ve been getting your bonblasts for what i believe is over a year now. (unless that’s under something seperate from the forums?)
    Needless to say I reregistered again so you may have my email twice in your system.

      Hey Lex,

      On the Index Page, the top Forum is for Hotsheets. It has three subforums. The 2nd one will give you the username and password to the Hotsheets. Once you have the username and password to the Hotsheets, go to the Hotsheets Forum, find the one you’re looking for and click the link. It’ll ask you for a username and password… Use the ones from the Password Forum.

      If you’re saying that you can’t actually log in to the Talkback Board itself, email me.

      Meggan, hi! I thought Keith had stopped by here after today’s big call to check in on you. Are you still having trouble finding your username and password even after doing everything here: https://smfa4.com/emailfix.php ? If so, please text Keith at 323.397.7576 and he’ll get you sorted out. Thanks for your patience!

    Hey Bonnie and Keith!

    I am having trouble logging in, and have done all the steps you recommended… I got login information from Keith, and yet none of the email/username/password combinations are working for me! I hope we can get it sorted, cuz I really want those Hot Sheets!!

    Best,

    Elinor

      Heya Elinor. I cannot tell if you’re saying you cannot get into the Talkback environment at all or if you’re having trouble downloading PDF hot sheets once you’re on the inside. If it’s the latter, I just added a vid to the post above with a walk-through of that process. See if that helps. And if it’s the former, please text Keith at 323.397.7576 for a walk-through. Thanks and enjoy the badassery!

    Hello,
    I bought the book and submitted for my info to be added to the forum but haven’t gotten the email yet. I’d like to download the sheets as soon as possible and would greatly appreciate if you could go ahead and send it my way.
    Thank you so much!

  11. Bonnie Gillespie March 9, 2016 at 6:42 pm

    Hiya Ali. As mentioned in this very post, if you don’t have the email within 48 hours, it’s time to make contact to figure out where it is (if not in SPAM, where it is almost every single time). You just requested access four hours ago and we do everything by hand, as we’re not some big corporation… we’re a mom-and-pop organization and that means patience is required because we don’t have robots (or a large staff) doing the work for us. Thank you for your patience!

    Hi Bonnie and Keith,
    Earlier today I left a reply but I don’t see it–so I’m assuming my question didn’t post ?
    I did ask for access several months ago but at that time, I did not know to check my spam inbox. I just requested access again and this time I’ll be sure to check my spam inbox. Please grant me access. Thank you!

    I’m listening in right now. I also wanted to thank her for the Hot Sheet.

      Hello Ms. Bonnie,

      I love the hot sheet. Thank you for helping struggling actors like myself. I had a question about Pilot. How to submit for pilot season.

        Hey hon! You need to do the SMFA Retreat with us. There’s still room. 🙂 Also, read the section in the book about pilot season’s REAL opportunities. Your focus needs to be on the building blocks that come before the tier of the pilot season actor. Yay!

    1. Keith Johnson September 16, 2017 at 9:57 pm

      Hey Suzanna,

      I’m seeing a couple different things…

      It looks like you successfully got access to the Hot Sheets at the Dojo, and it also looks like you filled out a form for access to the Talkback Message Board.

      What I don’t see on my end is the request that is supposed to come to me to get you set up.

      So I’m going to set you up for the Talkback boards, and if that isn’t what you are after, just don’t ever log in.

    Hello!!!!

    I confirmed my subscription a few days ago after signing up, and that is still the only email I have received. I went through the gmail steps to filter the messages from the three addresses and nothing came up. Just wanted to check in and see if I need to do anything else. A bit technically inept

    Thanks!

    1. Keith March 28, 2020 at 5:00 pm

      Hmm… interesting

      Can you send an email to help@bonniegillespie.com with this information. It gets into our system better if you’re the one doing it rather than if I forward it.

      Thanks,

      -keith
