An actors’ life is tough. It really takes a team to help keep you on your game. Your body is the most powerful tool you have. You have to keep in shape, whether it’s your vocal chords, your body, or that muscle in your brain that helps you execute choreography quickly in an audition! We’re artist! Navigating the logistics of being a working actor can also be suuuuuuper confusing. How do I set up a personal LLC? How do I get health insurance? Who do I go to to set up a killer actor website?
It’s all here. This is my team.
the best of the best! All the people I would or do personally use.

These guys specialize in finding you the PERFECT audition song specified for the character you’re going for. From their massive sheet music library, and years of experience as directors and musicians they are able to pull the most precise options. You get an actor’s perspective and a professional audition pianist/music director’s perspective all rolled into a 1 hour intensive session. You will not only leave with a perfect 16/32 bar cut of your sheet music, but also an audio recording of your vocal part and piano-only recording to practice with. Holy cow. I will never go to another audition without visiting these guys first.
