The first and only course specifically designed to help you leverage AI to improve your auditions so you can focus on your craft instead of on stress.

If you could confidently KNOW you’re submitting the best possible take every time you audition without:

❎ feeling creatively blocked about how to approach the role

❎ watching the entire season of a show just to understand the tone

❎ spending $125 on an acting coach hoping for a miracle because you’re underprepared, wasting 2 hours picking the best take

❎ playing detective to gather all the subtext, understand the writer’s intent and figure out how the heck your character even fits into the larger picture…

Would you do it?

9 Simple Ways to Leverage AI to make your auditions
dramatically better in half the time.

This groundbreaking course will show you EXACTLY how to improve EVERY step of your audition process.

Now, before you come at me, let’s be really clear.

AI is not here to take your job. AI cannot replace you, it can’t replace your coach, it cannot replace community. Yet, AI is here. It’s not going away.

Now, I’m not some massive AI advocate or anything. I believe wholeheartedly that protections need to be in place to secure the future of actors, writers, directors and the industry at large.

What I DO advocate for is YOU. And it’s my job to show you how to use modern tools and stay ahead of the curve so you can thrive in a quickly changing environment. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I just pretended AI didn’t exist. That would be doing a DISSERVICE to you.

I’m Jona Xiao, the founder of Career ACTivate. I’ve been a full time working actor for many years. I’ve got 45+ credits under my belt and will be starring in highly anticipated Marvel/Disney+ EYES OF WAKANDA this year.

And I’m here to help you leverage AI and ENSURE it does not replace you.

And the truth is this:
I use AI with every audition I get. 

Thanks to AI, I feel more prepared when I show up to coach. I no longer spend endless hours choosing between takes. I have a much clearer understanding of my own audition process and I’m truly becoming a better actor.

Wild, right?

But Jona…Why is it so cheap?

So glad you asked! Because we both know I could easily offer this one-of-a-kind course for $997. But the industry is shifting super quickly and I really believe EVERY actor needs to know this information. So, I’m making it as accessible as possible.

Oh, and by the way…the retail price is $497, so it won’t be this cheap for long.

We invited a select group of actors to test drive only 3 lessons and they’re already blown away.

🎭 Hop aboard the AI Train: Ride it or miss the momentum

Imagine the entertainment industry like a fast-moving train. AI isn’t here to replace your talent—it’s the fuel upgrade that’s propelling the train faster than ever before. If you ignore it, you’ll be left standing on the platform, watching others speed ahead. But if you embrace it, you can take control of the engine, using AI to fuel smarter choices, faster prep, and bold performances. 🚂

🎬 Let’s get more current: Think of AI like the shift to self-tapes

Remember when self-tapes first started dominating auditions? Some actors resisted the shift, while others mastered the art, creating polished, professional auditions that booked roles faster. AI is the next evolution. You can either adapt and thrive, or risk being seen as unprepared for the industry’s cutting edge. 📹✨

The choice is yours.
Let Your AI Audition Sidekick Help You Stay Ahead of the Curve.
