For actors, by casting directors

Work with a casting director

Talk through your career, or work a scene before you send it. Both are time with someone who casts for a living.

Two doors

Neither of these is your reel consultation. Every reel package already includes a consultation about your footage and how your reel gets built. These are separate, and you do not need a reel package to book one.

Career sessions

Talk it through

Bring a specific question or obstacle to a working casting professional and get a straight answer.

  • How do I make the jump from co-star to guest star?
  • I just moved to LA. What should I focus on first?
  • I am not getting any traction with agents or managers.
  • Let me know your thoughts on my current materials (reel, headshots, resume)

This is your time. Bring whatever is actually in the way.

Book A Coached Session →

You bring a scene. A casting director works it with you on Zoom for thirty minutes. Not notes after the fact, not a written critique. Direction, while you can still use it.

You keep the recording.

You have an audition and one shot at the tape. Get a casting director's direction before you send it, not after.
Your casting director assigned you a scene under the Best Work Policy. You can tape it alone, or you can tape it with help.
You are between projects and want to stay sharp on the skill that actually books work now, which is taping.

What these sessions are not. A session is not a job interview or an audition, and it is not a guarantee or promise of employment. During your session, please do not raise auditioning for a project your casting director is currently working on, and do not raise current breakdowns or projects in production.
