​​​Hey, I'm Martin Bentsen and I believe every actor deserves a shot.

It might not be hard to get background work, but when it comes to booking speaking roles, have you felt a bit... stuck?
 
Starting an acting career from scratch is not easy!
 
There are a million things you could be doing, and no matter who you ask, everyone has different advice:


  • "You should start by getting a professional headshots" (Probably not the best use of money if you're brand new – seriously!)
  • "You should take an acting class" (Maybe, but what kind, and how will you know when you're ready for real acting work?)
  • "You should get an agent" (Unfortunately that's almost impossible until you have at least 2-3 speaking credits at minimum.)
 
With so much conflicting advice out there, booking your first paid speaking role can feel like an impossible goal!


But that's exactly why I created
​
Kickstart Your Acting Career

I built this mini course specifically for actors who feel like it's been a struggle to get their careers going.
 
If you haven't yet booked your first paid speaking role (or even if you have, but you're struggling to get more), this course is perfect for you.
 
The information works even if you're not based in the USA.
 
You'll learn how to become the leader of your acting career and start growing it FAST.
 
My promise is that if you follow the steps in this simple, 5-day mini course, before you know it you'll start seeing real auditions for legitimate acting work.
​

​"Kickstart Your Acting Career is a great framework - it definitely filled in a lot of blanks for me and helped me put structure to things in my acting career. It really helped me flesh out some things I had glossed over in just trying to get the ball rolling."

​– Ellie C.

"​Kickstart Your Acting Career is an awesome resource, especially for actors who are at the beginning of their career. It gives clear advice and makes breaking into the acting industry actually seem achievable. A great and motivating course that I can only recommend!"

– Sofia P.

​"Taking the five day mini-course has helped me gain consistency and understanding of how to put myself out there by submitting and doing the best I can.

I always thought that to be an actor you have to have professional experience, professional headshots, and an agent right away, but because of the course, I now know that it doesn’t matter what level I am in the acting industry, what matters is to be consistent with my work, and to put myself out there and see progress and improvement.

With that being said I rate this course a 10. ​Thank you very much for your help and your wonderful lessons, I look forward from learning more of your courses in the future!​"

– Ashley P.

"Martin, your brain is a fantastic machine. The information you give, both in this course and in your articles (which I've been reading over the past month with the same passion as a fan reading a magazine), is as well-organized as my favorite drawers, and I'm OCD.

I'm used to being offered advice that I've already tried (or which I don't feel is adapted to my situation), but your approach doesn't make me feel like I have to squeeze into an ill-fitted cooky-cutter. The exercises you offer are very effective in terms of results, and that clearly defines the value of your course.

I can feel your genuineness when it comes to delivering information, and for that you have my total respect. I have probably read over 20 of your articles in a month, and watched over 30 of your videos so far. Thank you again for your dedication and support in this industry, Martin. I will remember your name and your kindness."

​– Maéva L.

"I think one of the most helpful things to me of Kickstart Your Acting Career was the format itself. I am one of those Spreadsheet People who loves breakdowns and lists, so having everything divided into clear steps (which could all be accomplished in a week!) made it seem so much more manageable.

I also really appreciated the supplemental list of Acting Career Chapters. There's something really satisfying about a numbered list outlining all the steps between making the decision to pursue acting to having a solid foundation on which a reputation can be built. Knowing where on that list I am, and which chapter I can realistically be working toward without overreaching makes the monumental journey ahead of me seem less overwhelming.

​There are hundreds of articles with tips about finding your type and how to make a self-tape, and they're great, but I have never seen a step-by-step program to getting started (or gaining momentum) like yours.
