Little-Known Hacks & Tricks to Grow Your Acting Career Quickly


Imagine going from rarely getting auditions to suddenly getting over 10 per month... all in less than two weeks. That's exactly what happened to a client of mine after the following conversation:

"My agent rarely submits me anymore. Do you think I need a new one?" an actress said. "How do I get him to respond to my emails?"
 
​Fair questions.
 
But then she continued, "Maybe it's because I'm not established enough. Do you have any tips on how I can impress him?"
 
​Now wait a second... impress your agent?
 
I thought for a moment. Finally I said, "That thinking is backwards. Your agent works for you. He should be trying to impress YOU. Set up a meeting with him right away and tell him what you want. Be sure to also mention that you'll start submitting yourself frequently and pull some extra weight."
 
Fast forward two weeks later and she called me to say her agent had already set her up with three auditions for speaking parts in television shows.

Less than a month later, she was going out on multiple auditions every week!

The industry makes you think you you're at the mercy of casting directors and agents, and that if you don't "follow the rules" exactly, you'll never get ahead.
 
But that's a lie I want to put to rest forever.

It's Time to Think "Outside the Industry."

As someone who has worked with people in thousands of industries (through my headshot business), I've been able to take marketing strategies that work for other businesses and apply them directly to actors – to help them grow their careers faster than most would think possible  (examples: one of my clients landed his first-ever Broadway role in just 4 weeks of working with me, and a brand-new actress signed with a high-level agent in just six weeks of working with me)..

I'd like to invite you to my free insider newsletter where I'll share my best material, including:

  • How to network easily and authentically with casting directors – even if you hate self-promotion.
  • How to find your Type and Brand in just 18 minutes (it doesn't require awkwardly asking lots of random people for feedback)
  • How to find a hardworking and reliable agent – even if you don't have a strong resume or reel
  • And much more...

Sign up below and you'll hear from me a few times a week with unique "outside the industry" strategies. I promise they will help you build a career you're truly proud of.
