You may put in all the work, and yet, you may not be booking any auditions. This can be incredibly frustrating. Especially because as actors, you may be passionate, committed, and take all the steps you’re supposed to take in your career. You may have taken a lot of acting classes, read some books, attended a few casting director workshops, scoured Instagram for tips, and sometimes even changed your appearance; hoping for a breakthrough.
As a consequence of this, you may have experienced some growth and made some connections inside the industry. But still, the auditions don’t come, or at least not the ones you’re aiming for. It’s disheartening when you’ve gotten some work and are ready for the next level but feel stuck. Therefore, you keep studying, changing your reel, updating your headshots—doing everything the industry suggests. Yet, the opportunities seem elusive.
So why does it feel like nothing's working?
When you watch my training below you will discover that none of these external efforts—classes, books, workshops—address the root issue. The problem is internal. The main ingredient in your career is YOU. You need to be free, alive, and instinctive, just as you were as a child. No class or book can give you this. It's about undoing the layers of conditioning and blocks that prevent you from being your true self.
When you were born, you were limitless, moving freely from emotion to emotion. Over time, conditioning and societal pressures have suppressed your natural instincts. You’ve been taught to turn it down, be quiet, and fit into a mold, which is inauthentic to your true self. As an artist, your job is to offer your unique perspective—something only you can provide.
If you don’t have access to your true self, you bring these layers to every audition, meeting, and performance. This is why you don’t book. The solution isn’t more classes or better headshots; it’s undoing the conditioning that prevents you from being completely free. When you reset to your natural state, you become truly present and alive. This authenticity is what casting directors and audiences crave.
