ADVANCED TV HOSTING: Auditioning & Booking the Job: How to Submit, Slay your Skype Audition and Own the Chemistry Test NEW!!
Date/Time: Feb 22 – Sunday, March 22, 2020 (final, in-person class)
Price: $999 (payment plan available)*
This is unique combination of private coaching, guided curriculum and small group class designed to replicate and demystify the digital submission & audition process. There’s nothing else like it available to take your media/on-camera career to the next level.
We roll up our sleeves and delve deep to maximize your skills and mindset, improve your weak spots and help you create your winning strategy and confidence to break through the clutter, get auditions and invited to callbacks.
Step One/February 22: The Submission. Submit your materials for a mock panel show and receive notes on what’s working for you, what’s not and how to break through the clutter and get noticed. You need to know this even if you have an agent.
Step Two: The Self Tape/March 1-8. Once you have completed Step One, I’ll give you instructions on how to self-tape for this project (increasing industry standard), walk you through best practices and give you notes on the tape you submit to me.
Step Three: The Skype Audition/March 9-20. These auditions are industry standard and the next step after the self-tape. Learn what you need to know to shine! You will receive real time 1:1 coaching through multiple takes.All Skype sessions are recorded and students receive a link to their video.
Step Four: The Callback/Chemistry Test/March 22. Experience the same chemistry test process I have used for TV projects ranging from Queer Eye to Page Six TV. We spend the afternoon learning how to both own the room and share the spotlight to set you up for success.
This class is for experienced hosts and subject experts who are new to the audition process, want to sharpen their skills, getting auditions but not getting callbacks or getting callbacks but not booking the job.
Privately this one-of-a-kind package costs $1400. This is the ultimate investment in your career and your success.
