Career Coaching for Actors
What do you think your acting career would look like if you had a clear path forward?
- Are you new to the business and not sure where to start?
- Do you feel like you’re working hard but not getting the results you want?
- Maybe you love the creative part but you’re not crazy about the business side of acting…
- And marketing isn’t really your thing….
They don’t call it “show business” for no reason! It’s just that… equal parts Show + Biz! Artists tend not to want to focus on the business part so much but it is crucially important if you want to work and make money in this industry and not just have be really expensive hobby.
One-on-One Coaching for Actors
Career Comprehensive: Assessment & Overview
New to the business? Or maybe you’re just not sure what’s next? We’ll take a look at where you’re at right now, what your strengths are, your current type and career ambitions and come up with some next best steps and super fun goals for the months ahead. We’ll talk about what classes you should take next, where you should be studying, where to find your first jobs and get credits. This is where you can get your questions answered and get specific advice tailor made just for you!
INCLUDES: Assessment Session via Zoom (about 45 min)

The Ultimate Audition Package
So you’ve taken some classes, maybe done a little work, and now you’re ready to book! But how do you get that audition invite or land the perfect rep? You need to have stellar materials in place, and that’s what I call your Ultimate Audition Package.
Are you the quirky best friend? Tough guy? Nerdy geek? Knowing your type is what is going to make getting in the room easier. Showing this clearly to agents and casting is what’s going to get you in the room and get you cast!
If you already have headshots, a resume and demo reel, the first thing we do is to review your current material. Then we decide what to change and how to do it, putting a strategic plan in place. You get busy with the next steps until we have a perfectly polished package. This usually takes 3-6 weeks, and I’m here to answer your questions and help shape the process every step of the way.
Once everything is complete we do a final review and go over online profiles. You are now ready to get repped and get booked!
INCLUDES: Headshot, Resume and Reel Review before first session, 2 Design & Planning Sessions + 1 Revise & Polish Session (all sessions via Zoom) Exclusive: this includes email / text support while you work through the process!
BONUSES: Actor’s Resume Template Pack + The Ultimate Headshot Quick Reference Guide + The Ultimate Audition Checklist
Pic & Res Please! Headshot and Resume: Design, Plan, Review
Your actors headshot and resume are your calling cards and the two essential promo pieces you need to be a working actor. Designing your headshot looks is NOT your photographer’s or agent’s job. You need to know your type and where you’re going to book.
Once you know your type and the kind of work you want to pursue right now, we put together the headshot looks that are going to set you up for success! We’ll talk about finding the best photographer FOR YOU so you stop getting generic pretty pictures and finally get the shots that get you the work you want.
A professional resume and headshot, even for the brand new actor is crucial. We work with your type, focus on your strengths, and optimize your materials to get you in the room. Already have a headshot and resume but not sure if they’re working for you? Using current industry standards in the market you’re in, we’ll revise and polish what you have, identify weak spots and highlight your best assets for agents, managers and casting.
INCLUDES: Design, Review & Planning Session via Zoom (about an hour)
BONUSES: Actor’s Resume Template Pack + The Ultimate Headshot Quick Reference Guide
