Your kid can do everything right, and still not get a callback.
Often that's because they were trying too hard to be perfect.
They learned their lines, the given circumstances, eyelines,
the moment before. But that's only the beginning.
Now they have to learn how to let all of that go and just be real.

I have 46 credits as a working actor — IMDB.
And 15 years coaching my daughter from her first audition to series regular.
She's also my daughter, so I know what the camera asks for, and the long road
a young actor walks. That's more than experience. It's insight.

"His approach is simply unique. He first lets you analyze the character so you
connect with them without judgement, then tells you to relax and be in the present moment,
because he wants an authentic performance without faking it."

Kids Who Work Hard but
Still Aren't Booking
Self-tapes can be extra challenging for kids who want to please. They're on their own with no direction, trying their best to do a good job. That's the trap. And also the secret. I show them how to drop the act and relax. And that's when it starts to click.

I raised a child in this business. I understand the pressure it puts on the whole family. That's why I coach the whole young person, not just the actor, and I work with parents who want honesty and a long-term perspective.

Ready to Go Further
For the young actor ready to go further, the rooms only get harder — guest star, series lead, the network test. I've been there for all of them. I know what changes at each level, and what those rooms ask of a kid. I can't hand a child the role, but I can send them in ready for it.
