"These are the tips that have truly turned my auditions around-both in person and self tapes! They have made the difference between getting callbacks to actually BOOKING for myself and many others. I want to share these tools with other actors, so they can have these advantages as well!"

-Katie Sarife

Katie Sarife learned many of the tools you will gain from these classes from CASTING DIRECTOR, Amber Horn. They have drastically improved the auditions of many actors and taken them to a new level. A lot of what is taught in this class will help you with having confidence in the room, making a lasting impression, and making the reader, casting directors, producers, etc. really feel connected to you. This class is a MUST if you want to put yourself in a better position to start BOOKING!

Master the Script

Who can take this class?

Anyone ages 8 & up. This class is well suited for all levels, beginners-advanced. We cater to your experience.

What's covered in this class?

  • This one is a MUST for the serious actor!!! ALL of our past, present, and future students will REALLY benefit from this class.

  • We've seen a need for more in-depth work in many actors— for a class entirely dedicated to script analysis and FULLY understanding the material.

  • Students will take their time using the tools we go over in class to write notes analyzing their scenes. One by one, students will present their work as we break down their script analysis and notes together as a class. We will break down every single line to ensure they have a deep understanding of the material. Sometimes this analysis is instinctual and other times it requires a bit more work.

  • Students will also perform their scenes in class.
