I wish more actors weren’t afraid of their own power


I wish someone could have prepared me for the constant heartbreak of being a working actor.  The hustle to get the audition for the perfect role.  The rejection or hearing nothing at all when you know you've done great work.   Watching less talented people book the job you knew you were right for.  The years of auditioning and only getting offers for free work.  Time and time again, running from your day job to an audition and trying to be on your game while worrying about losing your day job because the audition is running late.  The years of free readings, self-tapes with no callbacks, sitting in the waiting room listening to someone else audition with ease only to clam up when it's your turn.  Knowing you're perfect for a role, but not being given a chance to audition, to show how talented you are.   Feeling like why bother with a website because you don't have enough credits to build a reel.  Feeling stuck in call back queen mode, but never booking.  Desperately asking your agent to get you feedback so you can figure out where you're going wrong.

2 Day OnCamera Actor’s Bootcamp

You have so much MORE power than you’re aware of

You have control over the audition, the kind of roles you seek out and how you approach the character with you own unique blend of truth and specific character psychology. You have control over how you sell yourself to the industry from clothing choices, to website branding, headshots and reels that create an emotional brand that tells a CD or director your full range in 4 minutes.

Yep, you heard me….if you’re feeling powerless in the room or a little lost or just plain sick and tired of not making money or getting the chance to book a role, then keep reading

2 Day OnCamera Actor’s Bootcamp

You have so much MORE power than you’re aware of

If you fidget in the audition room, it doesn’t mean you can’t act, it means you need to give yourself something powerful to do and that begins with you and your unique emotional type.

If you’re auditioning like mad, but not booking or getting callbacks, it’s not a personal failing. It means you need a better understanding of what it is you have to sell as an artist: What is your emotional brand?

Are you on the new actor merry go-round? at ground zero? New to the business and can't get auditions because you have no reel, but you have no reel because you haven't booked any on camera gigs? So, not being given a chance to show your talents? Well, that’s an easy fix: learn your emotional type and create. your own reel and this is exactly what you’ll learn in the on camera bootcamp.
