Introduction: Wedding Officiant
I am a licensed minister with a theatre/writing background, so I can also write your ceremony any way you would like it to be with humor or gravitas, religious or non-religious inclinations. I can do segments of your ceremony in languages other than English. I've done ceremonies in Spanish, German, Italian, French, Russian, and Japanese.
I've also officiated at and written various awards ceremonies, auctions, conventions, military functions and other events.
Editor
I have edited six books (one best seller) and about 500 speeches and film scripts, and I look forward to working with you and your manuscript.
I charge $3.00 to $5.00 per finished page (about 250 words per page is standard).
Motivational Speaker
I deliver motivational speeches about presentation skills and the importance of being able to stand up and deliver your message to an audience face-to-face. In a recent study, it was found that the best indicator of a person's potential to succeed is the ability to use presentation skills to convince and to lead.
I do this for organizations large and small, such as Vistage (worlds largest organization of CEOs), McKesson (number six of the Fortune 500), The National Association of Women's Business Owners (NAWBO). It will be interactive and fun; news they can use right away.
Spokesman/Actor
Brian Collins began his acting career on stage in San Francisco, and he has since appeared in Simon and Simon, Falconcrest, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital. He has done over 500 corporate films (multiple-award winner), movies and commercials, 60 conventions, and numerous series, news, VO, plays, improvs, and special events; many of them are multilingual.
He works nationally and internationally, having presented in foreign languages during a European speaking tour (Finland, Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany), and at conventions in The Netherlands, England, and Switzerland. Our videos are on the website.
Using the Earprompter, which he also sells and teaches, Brian has stood in at the last minute for numerous CEOs, ministers, speakers, actors and sales people, and he has given their presentations, as if they were his own.
Brian is available to work worldwide (and already has).

Brian Collins is an amazing ear prompter trainer. He literally "wrote the book" on corporate presentation. Being one of his early students, I was very skeptical about being able to master the ear prompter in one day.
Nonetheless, after his masterful workshop, I had done it. Literally two days later I was able to deliver a 2 hour presentation (with no notes) to a group of 300 people, flawlessly. His professionalism, training, advice, and product have been literally invaluable to me over the last 17 years.
The best part of being part of Mr. Collin's training is that he truly cares about each person he works with, and is totally committed to their success. He is one of the rare individuals who not only is a true master of their craft, but puts heart and soul into everything he does.
If you are fortunate enough to work with Brian, consider it a great opportunity. He will deliver.

I like to work and do business with people who are assertive, responsive and always make you feel like their contribution was more than asked for....such is the case with Brian Collins. I have had the pleasure of working with him as an actor and he is always prepared, professional and polite with a can-do attitude.
Additionally, he has sold me no less than 8 ear prompter systems over the years. His systems with the small remote button and pitch control knob allow for many configurations and spur of the moment adjustments and are unequivocally the best in the entire nation. Plus, his service, i.e.prompt returned phone calls and shipping out of last minute equipment requests, is off-the-charts. Literally, he has either covered or saved my and my wife's derrires several times by providing additional equipment over-night or on site for trade shows where he might, also, be working. He's what I think of as the Navy Seal of the entertainment business.

We knew a few years ago, videos were becoming the way of setting yourself out from the crowd as far as on-line marketing. But how do your improve your skills, not being trained. We read about teleprompters, but as a solo act, more equipment, another skill set needed! Ran across Brian Collin's Earprompter site. Over the years, picked up some equipment, his video training, and talked with him over the phone. It allowed me (and my workers) to produce almost professional video info-mercials in record time .. no memorizing .. no practicing learning to read a teleprompterm .. no lugging heavy equipment .. and best of all .. no long bursts of duhs .. and ahhhhs .... recorded on video (which would have been an editing nightmare). Brian's the best and he's out lasted everyone else ... And Earprompters are, with Brian's thorough training, the easiest way to create tiny commercials separating you from the others. Thanks Brian ....

I'm associated with Brian through his work with the Ovation Earprompter (earprompter.com).
I spoke with him over the phone and was immediately impressed with his knowledge and the great stuff that his Earprompter has that others do not.
He shared real life stories about how easy they are to use and offered after purchase assistance if desired. I didn't think that was going to happen, but I wanted his device anyways.
Brian was always there to give me a tip or two that helped me fine tune my use of the device.
I have used it extensively and successfully now for a couple years. I've used it at auditions when the poor timing didn't allow enough time for me to study the sides.
I love the ability to get a script, speech or classroom presentation and to deliver it successfully and confidently in as little as a couple hours of work.
The Earprompter has been a godsend and I can't imagine it ever missing from my 'bag of tricks'. I made back my purchase price with my first job, it has all been profitable since then, very profitable!
I recommend both Brian & the Earprompter unconditionally.

I bought earprompter equipment from Brian, and received great service. With many choices in mind, I always think of Ovation as a rock solid business to serve me.
