It's time to CLOSE that validation loop for good!

If you feel like you are throwing tapes into the abyss and not getting feedback unless you book--this is the class for YOU.

Many talented actors do not know how to assess their tapes and are looking to the outside to get validation on their work. We can help.

Are your tapes bookable? Come and see how your community can inspire YOU to elevate your craft and tech and develop your OWN critical eye to help you get rid of the insecurities around your work for good.

What We Will Cover in 4 Weeks

Co-Star Challenge.

"The hardest audition is the two-line role.'"
- Paul Giamatti

Does this sound like you? Don't worry we can make these auditions fun again.

  • "What can I do with such little lines?"
  • "I was told to not to make it about me!"
  • "How do I stand out when it is so general?"
Activity/Action Challenge.

You have to know the rules before you break them. Doing action in scenes is like Goldilocks--too little and it doesn't make sense, too much and it becomes distracting. Let us help you find the balance.

  • "Can I use a prop? Some CDs don't like them."
  • "I'm supposed to be still in front of camera, right?"
  • "Do I ignore the action or do it all?"
Soap Challenge.

You might knock a soap, but James Franco did it in order to sharpen his acting tools. Soaps have VERY specific rules to play by. Let's de-mystify this genre of TV.

  • "So much exposition!"
  • "Why is this so repetitive?"
  • "How do I make these stakes be grounded?"
Indie Film Challenge.

Indie films are a place where actors can really be creative and work in collaboration with directors in a way you simply can't with TV.

But too much freedom can put you in your head when you don't know the rules. Let's give you some guardrails to support your creativity.

  • "How do I figure out tone?"
  • "How much freedom do I have?"
  • "How is this different than a TV audition?"
Will I receive feedback in every class? No, but you will receive feedback at least once.

And here's why...

Due to class size, we will not be giving feedback to every tape submitted.

Selected tapes will be used to highlight lessons and tips for you to apply a critical eye to your self-tapes.

We want to arm you with the tools to take ownership of your creative process and feel confident working on your tapes on your own.

No more "actor guru" mentality.
