Hi, I'm Martin!

And my number one goal is to help you reach yours.
Since 2009, I've helped thousands of actors move their careers forward through my courses, videos, private consulting, actor headshots & demo reel services. Want to book a major primetime tv show? It can be done. Would you like to work on Broadway? I've helped an actor get there in less than a month. Need a great agent? Let's strategize and get you one ASAP. My long term goal is to one day end the cliche of "the starving artist." And it all starts with getting strategic and thinking "outside the industry." Watch the video below to learn what I mean: |

Why I Do What I Do
Tyrone L. Robinson, Professional Actor

"I’ve been working as an actor for almost 2 decades and had been wanting to perform on Broadway for almost seven years. I did a career consultation with a well-known business of acting coach a few years ago but it didn't help, so I was skeptical. How would Martin's material be any different? In less than a month of working with Martin, I was offered the role of King Agnarr in Disney's 'Frozen' on Broadway. And two weeks later I got signed by a highly regarded film & television agency in New York!'

"Since studying and following Martin's programs, I landed my first TV role, booked a paid lead role in an independent film, and was featured in Backstage Magazine. I love Martin and what he offers! Being featured on Backstage has been amazing. A lot of casting directors saw the article and reached out to me for self-tapes (since the article came out I've had 5 self-tapes and 2 requests to do an in-person audition). This is incredible, thanks so much for everything!"

"I had no idea where to start! I just got out of college and was lucky enough to get a manager, but still felt confused and stuck. My manager wasn't submitting me and I wasn't getting booked for anything professional – just workshops and readings. After just two weeks of using your material, my mindset was totally different. I now know what you mean by 'taking on a leadership role in your acting career' and I understand how the industry works. I just booked my first speaking role in Law & Order: SVU and my manager is FINALLY listening to me!"

"Before I met Martin, I was just a 13-year-old girl trying to find my way through the sea of other actors with no clear acting goal. I didn’t understand how to get the doors to start opening for me and what was required to get an interview with casting directors and agencies. Gratefully now, and thanks to Martin, I signed with my top choice agency and my acting future is so much clearer!"

Raise your hand if you feel stuck.
You're doing everything right. You're doing everything the industry has shown and told you to do:
You're doing everything right... So why are you still booking the same roles as you did years ago? Why is it that you still feel stuck?
And why is it that with just a few simple tweaks (that took less than six weeks), one of my clients got booked on Broadway, landed a great agents, and get booked in a major television show?
Well, it has to do with changing your thinking. Check out the video below:
You're doing everything right. You're doing everything the industry has shown and told you to do:
- A casting director said your headshot background was too dark. So you invested in a better one.
- A friend said it's really hard to get seen without a reel. So you spent hundreds to create a professional one.
- Someone else told you you'd never have a chance at booking a recurring role unless you took the latest on-camera classes. So you kept training, week after week, continuously refining your technique.

Breaking the Rules
Thinking "Outside the Industry"
I've had the opportunity to interview successful actors, agents, and industry gatekeepers to find out what really works and what doesn't, and I've found that a large amount of the information out there is misleading.
Most actors get so inundated with ideas, advertisements, and casting calls that they try to do everything at once, which results in them actually accomplishing nothing.
Because I'm not an actor myself, I've had the luxury of seeing the industry from a completely different perspective, and I've discovered that there are only a few KEY things actors need to focus on to get booked with steady work. Everything else is just noise.
Rather than trying to do everything, it's time to think "outside the industry" and do WAY less.

So here's my invitation:
These days, there are zillions of people trying to become actors, making it more important than ever to become strategic.
The fighters win and those who take the easy route are left behind.
I want you to be a fighter – someone who thinks hard, puts in the extra effort, and always goes the extra mile. Don't be the person who looks for shortcuts.
