How I Booked A Marvel Superhero:

The STRATEGIC + PRECISE REASONS

(so you can steal them)

At a time when a lot of people are saying that the industry is dead, I’ve auditioned 16 times in the last 3 weeks and booked a pivotal role in a project I can’t even talk about yet.

Now, I’m taking you behind the scenes to see exactly why and how I’ve stayed busy during an extremely uncertain time.

Join me on for this exclusive behind the scenes workshop where you’ll see:

  1. Why I’ve been working consistently since 2012 (fact check me on IMDb if you want).
    It’s definitely a rule that goes against the grain, but when you live by it, you’ll set yourself up to be the one actor in your circle who’s busy on set.

  2. How I helped my reps see the whole picture of who I am as an artist – so they are excited to pitch me for the RIGHT roles.
    It’s also the same strategy that helped me sign with some of the best reps in the world. So, if you don’t have reps yet, you cannot miss Part 2 of this class.
     
  3. What I did to get a direct offer for a pivotal role in an NDA project last week.

     

  4. The only strategy you need to ensure that your marketing materials all work together to communicate a unified message that opens doors.
    I’ll even take you behind the scenes of the materials that got my student booked on two network shows.

CLASS WILL RUN ABOUT 55 MINUTES PLUS TIME FOR Q&A AT THE END. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE FOR DIRECT FEEDBACK FROM JONA. 

Why aren’t you booking more?

For years, I struggled to book or even get consistent auditions and I didn’t know why. I’d ask my reps, and they’d suggest new headshots. So, I kept taking them. Sometimes I’d see a small uptick in auditions… only to be crushed when the callbacks and bookings didn’t come.

I learned the hard way that branding isn’t just a headshot or a type. It’s a full, strategic system that, when done well, flips the script and gets people excited to hire you.

Going around and asking your friends how they “see you” or paying someone to “typecast” you doesn’t cut it and you’ll be spinning your wheels.

That’s why I built The Stand-Out System. Once I applied it to my own career, I finally broke into TV. Since then, I’ve booked 40+ Film & TV credits.

The best part? This system works no matter what’s going on in the industry

As long as there’s production, you can work as an actor… if you have the right tools, and you know how to use them. It’s not just about knowing what makes you truly stand out, but how to communicate in it way that gets casting, reps, and producers excited to get behind you.

This system has already worked for actors like Melinda Michael, who landed 6 auditions in just 8 weeks, and Janel Koloski, who booked American Horror Story and Black Rabbit. And you’ll get started on it in this free class.

Bottom line: You can book. Even in an uncertain industry. You just need the system that puts you on the shortlist.
