The starting point

If you want to work in film and TV, train for the thing you actually want to do.

Lots of "how to become an actor" guides are written by people who've never sat on the other side of a casting session. I have. The notes below are simply an opinion — not a set of rules or promises.

01

IF SCREEN IS THE GOAL, TRAIN SCREEN.

Screen and theatre are different disciplines. If your goal is film and TV, train for film and TV. Eyelines, hitting a mark, performance scale — these are technical skills that work differently on camera than they do on stage, and you only get better at them by practicing on camera.

02

Self-tapes are the actual audition now.

It's rare to audition in a room anymore — that tends to happen for callbacks and chemistry tests. A self-tape is what gets you in the room in the first place.

If your setup — lighting, sound, background — and your read aren't professional-grade, you could be hurting your chances before anyone's judged your acting.

You don't need to spend much to fix that: about $100 on Amazon gets you a setup that looks and sounds professional.

Or use ours — Rode audio, 4K footage, a neutral background so you're the focus, and direction on request. $75/45 min.

03

GET YOU REPS UP.

Weekly classes keep you audition-ready — consistent reps, week after week, the same way an athlete trains.

The actors who improve fastest are on camera constantly, with feedback in the room and footage in their inbox that night — not a ten-minute debrief at the end of a nine-week block.

That's how our weekly class runs: new material every week, filmed, worked through live, footage within 24 hours. Over a term, that's 9 scenes across different genres and emotional states — and one of the strongest self-tape reels you'll build anywhere.

I've introduced students to agents and brought casting directors in to share their insight directly. I've also watched people work hard and not land an agent yet — that's part of the journey too, faster for some, a longer door-knock for others.

04

No one can read a casting director's mind — including us.

Nobody can tell you exactly what a director or producer is looking for. No book or method books you the role.

What you can do is take ownership of your work, practise consistently, and make bold choices. That gives you the best shot at cutting through.

But there are no promises in this business, and no snake oil here — just hard work.

The reality

No promises.
Just hard work.
