You're doing the work. You're submitting self-tapes, investing in headshots, and showing up for every audition...
but
You're still not booking roles. You might even be second-guessing your choices and wondering why other actors seem to "figure it out."
Most actors struggle because their self-tapes aren't quite cutting it, their branding feels generic, and they just don't know how to stand out.
As a Casting Director who sees thousands of self=tapes every month and an actor who still actively auditions, I know exactly what works and what doesn't.

As a casting director, working actor, coach, author of “101 Acting Tips” and SAG-AFTRA member, I know what it’s like to be on both sides of the camera. But it wasn’t until I sat on the Casting side that I was able to see where so many actors go wrong. After watching more than 500,000 auditions, I can tell you this: it’s not for a lack of talent.
I’ve helped hundreds of actors worldwide find the confidence to book recurring roles, series regular roles, film, commercial and voice over roles.
No matter where you are in your journey, I've got just the course to help you earn a living doing what you love.
