    120 | R.I.P. Hollywood (and why that's good for actors)

    2026/2/03 | 9 mins.
    Hollywood is dying - and that’s the best thing that’s happened to actors who want control of their career.

    The Hollywood system trained actors to wait quietly and hope someone picked them. That system is breaking - and that’s not a tragedy, it’s an opportunity. In this video, I break down the three biggest lies keeping actors stuck:
    that you need LA,
    that you only get paid if you book the role,
    and that someone is coming to discover you.
    I share how actors are building visibility, income, and access on their own terms - and how clarity about your edge is what actually gets you remembered.
    In this video, you’ll learn:
    Why you no longer need to live in LA to be a working actor
    How to make money as an actor without waiting to book roles
    Why “being discovered” is not a real strategy
    How to build visibility, access, and proof on your own terms
    How clarifying your unique edge changes everything

    Casting Directors Don't Want Versatility—They Want This

    If your headshots are trying to show "versatility" instead of your authentic self, you are killing your audition chances. Casting directors don't see range when you try to be everything to everyone; they see confusion.
    In a market where decisions are made in seconds, you need to show them exactly who you are immediately.In this video, I break down the 5-part Actor DNA framework to help you stop guessing and start owning your specific casting brand. We analyze real headshot examples to show why the "chameleon" approach fails and how to fix it by identifying your unique signal.
    You will learn how to decode your First Impression, Leading Center, Vulnerability (Access), Natural Rhythm, and Unique Edge. Plus, I’ll share a free AI tool that does the heavy lifting for you.

    118 | Why You’re Not Booking (It's Not What You Think)

    Your acting career isn’t stuck because you’re “not talented enough,” too old, or because your nose is weird.(Trust me, I tried blaming all of those.)
    After coaching hundreds of actors, I’ve learned something most acting advice gets completely wrong:If you’re not booking auditions, it’s usually not a talent problem. It’s a structural problem.
    In this episode, I break down exactly why actors stop getting auditions and introduce the S.I.C.K. Framework, my assessment tool to diagnose what’s actually blocking your career.
    I’ll show you the four core gaps that keep talented actors submitting self-tapes into the void, and the counter-intuitive Curator Method that helped me go from 47 years old, zero contacts, and totally invisible to working with Netflix, A24, and Hallmark.
    This is how you skip the line, stop waiting for permission, and take control of your acting career, even if you don’t have an agent, industry connections, or a “perfect” résumé yet.
    If you’re tired of guessing what casting directors want…
    If you’re done blaming the system (or yourself)…
    And if you’re ready to stop playing by rules that were never designed to work for you…

    Ever wish you could network with people 'above' you in the film industry? Or how about building real acting connections with the casting directors and showrunners who feel totally out of reach?
    In this video, we talk about networking for actors in a way that actually makes sense - no more “collect business cards and hope for the best.”You’ll hear how actors can connect with casting directors, showrunners, acting coaches, photographers, and other industry professionals at eye level, even if you live far from LA or London.
    We get into how actors can remove the hierarchy that keeps them feeling “at the bottom,” how to offer real value, how to build acting industry relationships without desperation, and how to open doors in your acting career by creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.You’ll also hear how actors can use local resources, workshops, and their own communities to meet people who can help them grow, how training builds confidence when networking, and how to build an acting career from anywhere.
    If you’ve been wondering how actors talk to casting directors naturally, how to find acting opportunities in your market, or how to connect with industry people without making it weird, this will make everything feel (and BE) a lot more possible.
