[THE WORK SESSION]

A one-on-one power hour with a Casting Director who actually gets it.

Actors — it’s time to take the guesswork out of your game.

THE WORK SESSION is a 60-minute, personalized strategy session with a working casting director who’s cast for Broadway, Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, West End, and more.

This kind of direct access is incredibly rare — and actors are often hungry for honest, trustworthy, high-level insight they just can’t get elsewhere. We’ll audit your materials, decode your audition patterns, and help you step into the next phase of your career — sharper, clearer, and ready to book.

Once purchased, we’ll send you an email with everything you need to schedule your session and upload your materials.

What You’ll Get:

Self-Tape Review (2–5 tapes)

Send in your materials ahead of time and we’ll pinpoint what’s landing — and what’s holding you back.

We’ll shape your materials — paper, image, and screen — to tell the strongest, most castable version of your story.

Audition Strategy Deep-Dive

From prep to mindset to branding — let’s realign your approach with your goals.

Career Clarity Conversation

We’ll identify what kinds of roles you should be targeting now — and which projects, reps, or opportunities align with where you’re headed.

Casting Director Radar Notes

Get empowering, honest insight into how you’re perceived in the room — your essence, strengths, and what makes you stand out.

Open Q&A Time

Bring your burning questions — casting, agents, materials, branding, career pivots. Nothing’s off-limits. This is your hour.

Free Tape Retake Challenge

After your session, you’ll have the option to redo one of your tapes using our notes and send it in for a bonus round of feedback.

Personalized Follow-Up Email

You’ll get a recap of key takeaways and 2–3 clear action steps to keep your momentum going.
