The Battle-Tested Audition Prep Coaching that Books You.
Audition Labs are designed for working actors who want to increase their booking ratio by 5-10% in the next 12 months for their next 100 auditions.
Prerequisite to Audition Labs
The Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook + Live Audition
The Prerequisite to attending any Audition Labs is the Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook + Live Audition (which is the final exam of The Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook) where you familiarize yourself with the system of layering your character and breaking down the scene in 3 days’ time so you may submit a high performance audition tape by the third day.
The Lucky 13 Audition Prep Process is designed to increase your booking ratio by 5-10% within the next 12 months of consistent coaching for real-time auditioning applications.
Both Lucky 13 Audition Labs and the Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook do NOT serve as a substitutions to formal acting training. We can recommend reputable studios throughout Los Angeles for actors who are starting in their first 12 months.
Both Lucky 13 Audition Labs and the Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook ARE designed for emerging actors with a proven track record of 5-10% booking ratio based on the last 100 auditions and who would like to increase their booking ratio by 5-10% in the next 12 months.
Both Audition Labs and the Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook ARE designed for working actors who want to adapt a system that optimizes their use of preparation time—specifically knowing what key skills are your strengths, weaknesses, and what key skills to improve upon.
Qualified actors are required to take the Lucky 13 Audition Prep Masterclass and perform a live audition before enrolling in any Audition Labs sessions to maximize your coaching experience inside the Audition Labs.
Stop Guessing. Start Booking.
Auditions are not about who you know but about what you know. They are about process, precision, and repeatable performance under pressure.
The Lucky 13 Audition Prep Playbook is a professional, step-by-step digital system designed to help actors consistently deliver casting-ready performances—whether you’re self-taping at home or walking into a live callback.
This is not theory. This is a field-tested audition method built by a working SAG actor, educator, and booking professional who has booked 16 lead roles in her first two years and understands exactly what casting directors respond to .
Inside this downloadable playbook, you’ll learn how to treat every audition as a proof-of-concept performance, not a hopeful reading. You’ll be guided through a 3-Layer, 3-Day, 3-Hour system that trains your mind, imagination, and body to work together—so your choices are specific, your lines are locked in, and your emotional life is grounded and alive.
You’ll learn how to:
Break down sides with a clear, repeatable markup system
Build personal, visceral backstory that casting can feel
Create strong objectives, stakes, tactics, and obstacles
Memorize lines faster using rote-through-the-ridiculous
Rehearse in a way that works under real audition pressure
Deliver confident, compelling self-tapes and live reads
This playbook is for actors who are ready to stop “hoping” and start operating like professionals. If you’re tired of vague notes, inconsistent performances, and feeling unprepared when it matters most—this system gives you a clear path forward.
