Talent Coaching – COMMERCIAL, PRINT & REALITY TV

  • One hour session with an industry Casting Director
  • Photo, Video, and Method coaching
    • When you audition or submit for a project and you don’t get a call back, do you wonder if you could have done something different? Better? We will guide you through the entire process, teach you how the industry works, improve your video and photo portfolio, and how to be 100% prepared for the jobs that you want.
  • Comprehensive Checklist
    • There are lots of details to remember and it can be overwhelming. We will help you organize a comprehensive checklist with all of the necessary information you can refer to when a project arrives.
  • You’ll also receive a demo reel that you can send to casting directors or potential clients! This is a brief video with all of your best stuff. We will cut and polish it so it looks professional. We can also shoot your video intro slate if you do not have one.
    • Example: If your expertise is in soccer, we’ll edit a video of you playing soccer, your past commercials, you doing tricks, etc.
