What to Expect
The Battle-Tested Process that Gets you Booked.
Audition prep coaching focusing on truthful, specific, bookable performances, designed for emerging actors actively auditioning in LA’s Film and TV market.
Auditioning is the true test of an actor’s readiness.
Reputable Reps sign marketable actors and the true test of an actor's marketability is when an actor is put to the test through auditioning and getting casted for the role.
In the LA market, you are competing on an olympic level - You are competing with an average of 100-500 actors for one non-union role and an average of 1,000-5,000 actors for one union role.
Casting directors respond to actors whose performances are truthful, specific, and clear, not vague choices or over-rehearsed tricks.
The Audition Prep Lab is the workshop space where working actors meet that reality.
At the Actor's Audition Prep Lab, you will learn how to:
1. Trust and execute first truthful impulses
2. Build high-resolution inner worlds that read on camera
3. Memorize lines without sounding memorized
4. Play Objective, Stakes, and Tactics (OST) clearly
5. Establish dynamic, believable relationships
6. Deliver confident self-tapes that “hit different”
7. Know when you’ve got the take—and submit!Training and consistency is a requirement, not an option.
The audition is the training.
