Work Sessions

No agent. No budget. No idea where to start.

I started with no agent, no credits, and limited resources. I have since worked over a hundred commercial sets and helped more than a dozen people sign with agencies. These sessions are the map I wish somebody had handed me.

These are post-pandemic strategies. Auditions aren’t in person anymore, self-taping is its own craft, and a lot of the advice still circulating was written for a business that no longer works that way — which matters as much if you’re coming back to the industry as if you’re starting.

Fit Call

Not sure which of these you need, or whether I'm the right person at all? Apply and tell me where you are. If I can help, we'll talk for ten minutes and figure out what you actually need. If I can't, I'll tell you that too and point you in the right direction.

Start Here — It’s Free

Also available

Self-Tape Reading

Most self-tapes get read by whoever's home — a partner, a roommate, a parent — flat, out of character, and checked out by take three. That's fine for a low-stakes submission. For the audition that actually matters, it costs you your best take. I read opposite you properly, in character, for as many takes as the time allows — someone who understands the room, not just running lines.

$20: 30 minutes
$40: 60 minutes
$60: 90 minutes
$80: 2 hours

The Elite Eight

$250per month8 spots

Talent who want someone in their corner every week, not once.

Eight people. That's the whole bracket. Every other session on this page is me answering your questions. This one is me working your career alongside my own — and the difference is access, not more minutes.

The part you can't buy a la carte

My network: When I see a submission you fit, I pass it to you with the instructions and how to approach it. Same for freelance and part-time work if you're looking. Nobody booking a single session gets that.
On set with me: You still book the job — but if I can connect you to a shoot, even a TFP one, I will. That's how a portfolio gets built. Strongest for Austin and Texas locals.
In-person taping: Austin members can use a session for a real self-tape in person rather than over video, when the audition warrants it.
The business side: How to earn in experiential marketing between bookings, which free platforms and groups actually produce work, and how to run this like the small business it is.

Every month also includes

One 30-minute call every week, standing on your calendar
Async between calls — tapes, contracts, rate questions
Your materials revisited every quarter as you book more
Contract and rate review before you sign anything
Month to month. Leave whenever; your spot opens for someone else.

Apply for The Elite Eight

Every session starts with a short application, including the free one. It takes five minutes and it means we spend the call on your actual problem instead of finding out what it is.

Sessions are education and strategy. They are not representation, and no one can guarantee you bookings — anybody who tells you otherwise is selling something. Rescheduling is free with 24 hours notice.
