By THE END OF THIS COURSE,
YOU WILL HAVE…

  • A clear plan to connect in a genuine and impactful way so you stand out from all the other actors trying to slide into that producer’s DMs 🤢
  • A plan to capitalize on every meeting whether they’re planned or they happen by chance. That way, you can follow through with sincerity and professionalism that’s irresistible.
  • A personalized list of the best events to attend so you can easily meet the right people
  • 8 ways to turn professional acquaintances into raving fans
  • An irresistible “Tell Me About Yourself” response that inspires others to invest in your success
  • A contact management system to follow-up easily and stay “top of mind” so you get called in more often
  • Clarity about how you can create a ton of value for everyone you meet so you never have to worry that people will assume you’re just using them
  • Complete clarity about how to decline romantic advances without burning any bridges 

…and MUCH MORE!

Your network is your net worth:

The Quality of Your Industry Relationships Determines The Quality of Your Career

How different would things be if the RIGHT industry people knew and liked you?

This powerful virtual course will arm you with the strategy and mentality to make connections and forge real relationships with the decision makers. Finally! You can open the doors to countless incredible opportunities to land more auditions, book more work, and get on the short list!

Imagine no longer jumping through countless hoops just to get an audition? Wouldn’t life be easier with people on the project championing you?

Most actors rely solely on their reps to generate auditions. But imagine how much easier it is to get you in the room when you have a personal connection with someone on the project? #agentsdream!

WARNING! This is not some stiff or calculated networking strategy. Most actors waste tons of money on workshops or they cold-call and cross their fingers. 

So, you can stop feeling desperate or vying for the attention of casting directors, producers, directors, and other industry professionals.

The Relationship Roadmap LIVE Grad

Truth:

People like to work with people they know, like, and trust. And your #1 job is to become THAT person… the actor on everybody’s short list. The one who books work without even auditioning.

Actress, Emmy Nominating Committee Member, Recurring Speaker for SAG-AFTRA, and CEO of Career ACTivate

I’ve made so many mistakes along my acting journey. I spent so much money on workshops but rarely ever got called in. I was working so HARD but not seeing the results I felt I deserved.

I know exactly how exhausting it feels to work so hard as an actor, only to be disappointed by the lack of auditions you are getting. And when the auditions are coming, it oftentimes feels like they already know who they want for the role.

Since working on the business side of the industry, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to build your network and do it in a way that’s authentic for you. And incredible career breakthroughs happen as a result of becoming known by the right people. I love feeling like my career is really in my OWN hands because of the tools and strategies I’m empowered with. I’ve booked so many amazing projects as a result of relationships I’ve built. The direct offers I’ve gotten have almost all been through relationships I had built.

I’m passionate about helping you along your journey because I believe TV shows and films transform the world and the more artists I support, the more good I’m doing the world.

This is your invitation to take new action. You deserve it. You don’t have to figure this out on your own through trial and error. Your reputation is too important for that.

Got questions?

We’ve got Answers for ya…

1. Can you guarantee that I’ll get direct bookings within the next couple of months?
We both know that I can’t promise that. It’s up to you to implement what you learn inside The Relationship Roadmap. But I can promise you that this course thoroughly guides you through what our students and I have done to start amazing friendships with industry professionals. So, if you do the work, I am confident you will see results.

2. I’m nervous that I won’t have time to implement. How much work are we talking about here?
Most of the students who have gone through this course and built great relationships have gone through this process while working a lot or having a very busy schedule. The real question is, do you really want this? Plan to spend a couple hours each week on the course and you’ll be good to go.

3. I don’t have many credits and my materials aren’t polished yet. Should I hold off on taking this class?
Let me ask you…when is it too early to make a friend? The Relationship Roadmap is designed to help you forge genuine relationships. If you don’t have a reel, that’s not a problem AT ALL, because you aren’t just trying to promote yourself as an actor to your new connections.

Also, I’ll guide you through how to put together really unique marketing materials. No reel? No problem! I’ll show you a VERY easy workaround if you don’t currently have a reel you love.
