In Los Angeles, there are not many experienced teachers. We need more teachers because there are so many Deaf people who want to be actors and actresses but don't know how to do it. They don't know how to use the right approach. Spo, who is single, recently purchased a house in Hollywood. He estimates having taught over 1,000 children to date and hopes they will always remember for the rest of their life that they had looked up to a deaf role model.
Many families speak Spanish only.
So for these children to see a deaf role model, it impacts on them and they will always remember it. Most teachers are hearing, so I must applaud Deaf West for providing this opportunity as well as SPO Theater. You can't just move here and get an acting job. There are no job openings for deaf actors in movie or TV - maybe once a year. You'd need to have a first job.
