Creative Programs
What follows are four distinct pathways—each designed for a different moment in your journey, a different need, a different level of commitment. You'll know which one is calling to you.
Private Coaching & Audition Sessions
Sometimes you don't need a complete overhaul. You just need focused, expert guidance on the thing right in front of you.
Private coaching sessions offer practical support across performance, audition preparation, self-tapes, and process. Whether you're preparing an audition, refining a self-tape, working on a scene, or reconnecting with confidence and clarity in your work, sessions are tailored to what will best support you right now.

90-Minute Career Consultation
Most actors don't have a talent problem. They have an alignment problem.
They're training, auditioning, and self-taping—but their materials, performance choices, and career narrative aren't pulling in the same direction. The result is confusion, mixed signals, and missed opportunities.
The Career Consultation exists to fix that.
This is a 90-minute strategic session focused on positioning, materials, and next steps.
What's Included
- Career audit: Where you are, where you want to be
- Materials review: Headshots, CV, showreel/self-tape reel
- Market positioning: How you're currently read vs. how you want to be read
- Clear, actionable direction: What to change, what to keep, where to focus
Investment
When This Is Right for You
- You feel stuck between auditions or momentum cycles
- You're unclear on your positioning or market fit
- Your materials don't reflect your current ability or look
- You're ready to get strategic about your career
The Breakthrough Actor
Not just coaching. Not just strategy.
The Breakthrough Actor is a comprehensive reset of how you perform, present, and position yourself in the industry—designed for actors who know they're capable of more, but feel unseen, misread, or stuck between opportunities.
This is where clarity replaces guesswork, and intention replaces noise.
The program is for actors who feel rudderless, stuck in a rut, or unsure how to move forward in their work. It's about taking back control of your career, your craft, and how you're perceived—without losing the joy that brought you to acting in the first place.
At its core, The Breakthrough Actor helps you step away from tying your self-worth to outcomes—auditions, callbacks, or silence—and return to a grounded, confident relationship with the work itself. To trust your process again. To reconnect with acting as something alive and expressive, rather than something measured purely by external validation.
Who It's For
This program is for actors who feel:
- Stuck between auditions or momentum cycles
- Unclear on their positioning or market fit
- Under-represented by their current materials
- Capable of more, but not being seen for it
How the Process Works
At the commencement of the program, you'll submit your current materials—headshots, CV, showreel or self-tape reel (where applicable)—for review.
We begin with a 90-minute career consultation, where we take a clear-eyed look at what's currently working, where your materials or positioning may be underserving you, and how you're being read by the industry. We discuss current industry trends, agencies, and both local and global markets, identifying how your offering can be refreshed, sharpened, and re-energized.
At the end of this session, you'll be assigned 2–3 carefully chosen pieces of material. These are not random scenes. They're selected to stretch you creatively while also supporting your positioning as an actor—roles that suit your look, ability, and artistry, and that present you as grounded, capable, and highly castable.
Over the following two 60-minute coaching sessions, we work these pieces in depth. The focus is on truth, specificity, and confidence—helping you feel alive in the work, not performative or self-conscious.
You'll then tape the material in your own time. Once the scenes are shot and edited, we review the material together in a 30-minute feedback + retape strategy session. We discuss performance choices, editing, how best to integrate the scenes into your current or new reel, and how to position them effectively.
Finally, we look at your agency approach strategy—identifying a personalized list of agents best suited to you and clarifying how to present your updated package with confidence and clarity.

The Breakthrough Room
The Breakthrough Lab is a small, director-led scene study and performance lab designed for actors who want to deepen their craft and understand how they're actually read in the room.
This is not a drop-in class. It's a focused, hybrid lab—part acting teacher, part working director—where actors are coached, challenged, and directed in real time.
Participants don't just rehearse scenes. They're guided through practical tools, exercises, and adjustments that elevate their work, sharpen their instincts, and strengthen their ability to respond under direction—the way they're expected to on set.
This is where technique meets application.
Format
- 4-week term
- One session per week
- 3 hours per session
- Evening, weeknights
- 6–8 actors maximum
- Online or in-person (same structure, same investment)
Places are intentionally limited to allow depth of work and individual attention.
What Makes This Different
- A hybrid teaching–directing approach: real coaching paired with real-time direction
- Director-level feedback grounded in industry context, not abstract acting notes
- Practical tools and exercises designed to unlock specificity, presence, and confidence
- Scenes selected with casting, positioning, and actor readiness in mind
- Repeat reps with evolving direction—learning how to take notes, adjust, and stay alive in the work
- A room that feels professional, focused, challenging, and generous
How the Lab Works
Actors work on carefully selected scenes over the four-week term, returning to the same material as direction evolves.
Alongside scene work, participants are introduced to practical tools and exercises that support:
- Listening and responsiveness
- Clarity of intention
- Emotional availability without forcing
- Grounded confidence under pressure
- Flexibility when taking direction
The emphasis is on implementation, not theory—learning how to apply tools in the moment, under observation, and with purpose.
Who It's For
The Breakthrough Lab is for actors who:
- Want to deepen their craft without losing industry context
- Are ready for precise, honest direction
- Want tools they can actually apply, not just ideas
- Value repetition, process, and adjustment
- Want to experience what it's like to be coached and directed in real time
This is a space for actors who take their work seriously and want to be met at that level.
