Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is all about getting to know you, your goals, and your experience level. We’ll discuss the audition process, identify your strengths, and begin building confidence in front of the camera. You’ll learn foundational audition techniques, including script analysis, making strong acting choices, and how to present your authentic self in the room and on camera.
Lesson 2-3In lessons two and three, we begin applying techniques to audition material. Students learn how to break down scenes, connect personally to the material, make compelling choices, and respond truthfully in the moment. We also focus on self-tape fundamentals, camera awareness, and developing a professional audition mindset.
Lesson 4-10Students continue building their audition toolkit through scene work, mock auditions, self-tapes, and individualized coaching. We focus on strengthening confidence, consistency, emotional connection, and storytelling. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, whether they are preparing for auditions, pursuing professional opportunities, or developing their acting skills.
Lesson 11+As students advance, coaching becomes increasingly personalized. We refine audition technique, strengthen on-camera presence, and address specific challenges and goals. Students learn how to approach professional auditions with confidence, create stronger self-tapes, and develop the skills needed for long-term success in the industry.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on evaluating your current audition process, strengths, and areas for growth. We’ll work with actual audition material whenever possible, identify patterns that may be limiting your success, and develop strategies to create more specific, compelling, and authentic work. My goal is to help you bring your unique perspective into every audition.
Lesson 2-3We begin refining your approach to script analysis, preparation, and execution. Students learn how to make stronger choices, deepen emotional connection, and increase spontaneity while maintaining consistency. We also address the nuances of on-camera auditions, self-tapes, callbacks, and in-room auditions.
Lesson 4-10Students continue strengthening their audition technique through personalized coaching, mock auditions, and detailed scene work. We focus on elevating storytelling, improving camera presence, strengthening professional habits, and developing the confidence needed to compete at a higher level. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and career path.
Lesson 11+Ongoing coaching is highly individualized and designed to support long-term growth. Students continue refining their craft, preparing for professional opportunities, and addressing specific audition challenges as they arise. Whether preparing for television, film, theatre, college auditions, or major callbacks, the focus remains on helping each actor consistently deliver authentic, memorable work.
