On the Spot: Switching Accents Instantly for Auditions
Sarah Valentine
Aug 1 · 12:00 pm Berlin time
More than 100,000 people follow Sarah for the way she makes accents fast, physical, and playable. In this class, you'll work on switching quickly, staying inside the accent when the scene gets emotional, and keeping the acting from disappearing the second your brain starts checking vowels.
Where Talent Meets a Plan
Anne Alexander-Sieder
Aug 1 · 7:00 pm Berlin time
Most actors think they have to choose between spending money to fix what their career is missing and spending time trying to get in front of people who can hire them. You don't. In this class, I'll show you how to create an event that gets you the training, material, access, or visibility you need, brings the right people into the room, and pays you to make it happen. The work fixes the career problem and gives those relationships somewhere to begin.
A-Listers Don't Guess
Anne Alexander-Sieder
Aug 2 · 7:00 pm Berlin time
A-Listers don't guess because they have a second, third, and fourth set of eyes on every part of their career. This class teaches you how to get that objectivity for yourself, so you can see what your materials are actually selling, make them stronger, and get them in front of the people who can hire you for the projects you want. Then I'll show you how to use AI to do most of the heavy lifting, so you can get back to the fun stuff: acting.
Intro to Method Acting (Part 1)
Sam Rumbelow
Aug 3 · 11:00 am Berlin time
Sam founded Method Acting London in 2002 and is one of the UK's longest-standing teachers of Strasberg's work.

You'll work on relaxation, impulse, and getting out of your own way before the scene tightens up.
Your Voice Is Power
Elise Arsenault
Aug 3 · 4:00 pm Berlin time
Elise is a TEDx speaker and AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator who has built an international career across stage, screen, and voice work. She'll give you a ten-second breath check for the moment your voice climbs into your throat, your jaw locks, or you suddenly sound nothing like yourself.
Mastering Your Self-Tape
David Bianchi
Aug 3 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
David created, wrote, and stars in the Emmy-nominated series RZR, and he's watched thousands of tapes from the producer's side. He knows what makes someone keep watching, what makes a strong actor look unprepared, and which technical problems need fixing before the acting even gets a chance.
Intro to Method Acting (Part 2)
Sam Rumbelow
Aug 4 · 11:00 am Berlin time
Part 2 of Sam's two-part class. Sam founded Method Acting London in 2002 and is one of the UK's longest-standing teachers of Strasberg's work. You'll keep working on relaxation, impulse, and getting out of your own way before the scene tightens up.
What Actually Happens After Your Agent Hits Submit
Kym Jackson

Kym has worked in Hollywood for more than 20 years, with credits including Criminal Minds, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Snitch, and wrote The Hollywood Survival Guide for Actors.

The Art & Science of the Self-Tape
John Osborne Hughes
Aug 5 · 1:00 pm Berlin time
Eddie Marsan and Richard Brake both credit John's coaching with changing the way they audition. This class gets into the difference between showing your choices and actually having the character's thoughts, especially when your tape is prepared, competent, and somehow still dead.
Casting DNA™: Building the Blueprint for a Career That Reflects Your True Potential
Adria Tennor
Aug 6 · 7:00 pm Berlin time
Adria has spent more than 30 years acting across film and television, from Friends and Mad Men to The Artist, while also writing, directing, and producing her own work. She'll help you identify the actors you're genuinely cast beside, then use two contrasting clips to make your casting identity easier to read across your reel and materials.
Your Monologue Isn't Supposed to Prove Your Range
Jennifer Apple
Aug 7 · 7:00 pm Berlin time
Jennifer originated Anna in the national tour of The Band's Visit and won a 2024 Elliott Norton Award. She'll show you how punctuation can reveal whether a monologue actually belongs in your mouth, so you stop choosing impressive material that sits on you like somebody else's coat.
Booked, Paid & In Demand
Valorie Hubbard
Aug 8 · 5:00 pm Berlin time
Valorie founded Actors Fast Track and wrote Rule Breakers because she has very little patience for actors waiting politely to be discovered. You'll work on the one sentence that makes your place in the industry easy to picture, then turn it into a pitch people can actually use.
The One Choice That Holds the Whole Scene Together
Luis Selgas
Aug 8 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
Luis has watched and directed thousands of auditions as a casting producer and session director. He's seen what happens when an actor brings six ideas into a tape and none of them gets enough room to land.

How to Get Cast as an American Actor in the UK Market
Danny Steele
Aug 9 · 4:00 pm Berlin time
Danny runs Union Management with actors working across the US, UK, and Europe. Speaking English isn't the same as making sense in the UK market. He'll show you where American actors lose people in their materials and what UK casting and agents need to understand before they can place you.
Booking Five-Figure Acting Gigs
Arron Lloyd
Aug 10 · 4:00 pm Berlin time
Arron has acted on CBS's Blue Bloods and built Audition Trackers to stop actors making career decisions from one bad week. He'll show you how he uses numbers, timing, and the 60/20/20 formula to spot where the money is actually coming from and what needs attention next.
What Nobody Tells You About Why You're Not Booking
Ajarae Coleman
Aug 11 · 4:00 pm Berlin time
Ajarae has worked on Scandal, Private Practice, and NCIS: New Orleans, and she knows the tape is not always the reason an actor stays stuck. This class looks at access, relationships, and the three-sentence reach-out that sounds like it came from a working peer rather than someone asking to be rescued.
How AI Can Help You Rehearse Without Replacing the Actor
Brett Newton
Aug 11 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
Brett co-founded RehearseNow.AI, a scene-partner tool built for actors who are tired of dragging a dead recording through a self-tape. You'll see how responsive AI can help with timing and repetition, where it genuinely saves labor, and where the human actor still has to do the work.
Oscar Worthy Moments Masterclass
Murisa Harba
Aug 12 · 4:00 pm Berlin time

Headshot Evolution: Why What Used to Work No Longer Does
Nick Coleman
Aug 12 · 7:00 pm Berlin time

Voiceover in Action: What Actually Gets You Booked
Rachael Naylor
Aug 19 · 4:00 pm Berlin time
Rachael founded Elements Demos, and her most useful point may also be the one voice actors least want to hear: a beautiful voice is not what gets you booked. She'll show you what the audition has to do, how quickly character choices are made, and what separates a nice read from a hireable one.
Stop Memorizing Your Lines: Step Into Character with Confidence
Loren Chadima
Aug 21 · 7:00 pm Berlin time
Loren wrote Stop Memorizing Your Lines and built the nine-question system inside it. This is for the actor who knows every word at home and loses half of them the moment another person enters the scene. You'll learn a faster way to get off book without separating the lines from the acting.
Master Your Brand & the Agent Interview
Arbender Robinson
Aug 24 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
Arbender was the first African American actor to play Marius in Les Misérables on Broadway, and now he's an agent at FSE Talent.

Method Acting for Money
Teri Wade
Aug 27 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
Teri writes for Backstage and has coached artists for 28 years. Method Acting for Money is about the part nobody wants to admit: artists rehearse scarcity too. Undercharging, avoiding the numbers, panicking when work slows down. She'll show you how those patterns get learned and how to stop treating them like personality.
Cut to the Truth (Live Self-Tape Feedback)
Loren Chadima
Aug 28 · 6:00 pm Berlin time
Loren is an alumna of the AFI Directing Workshop for Women. In this live session, she'll watch actor self-tapes and tell you what she sees as a director while the tape is still playing. You'll hear what lands, where attention drops, and what could be fixed without rebuilding the whole performance.
Start Watching Now
These sessions are already waiting for you. Choose what interests you and begin whenever you are ready. New conversations are added as they're ready, so check back often.
Someone in Casting Is Hoping Your Tape Is the Answer
Rose Rosen
Casting isn't waiting for you to fail. They're hoping the next tape solves the problem. Rose explains why her office watches every audition in full, why skipping the tape closes a door on someone who wanted to see you, and how treating the audition itself as the job changes the way you show up for it.
How to Reach Out Without Sounding Like You're Begging
Ajarae Coleman
Outreach changes when you stop writing from the position of someone asking to be let in. Ajarae shows you how to send a message that creates connection instead of pressure, and how to build relationships before you need a favor.
Meeting Someone Is Only Half of Networking
Kym Jackson
Meeting someone is only the first half of networking. The second is making sure they know what to remember you for when the right role appears. Kym shows you how to make your castable value easy to recall, so the relationship can turn into an actual opportunity instead of remaining a pleasant conversation.
You Don't Need a "Radio Voice" to Book Voiceover
Rachael Naylor
Voiceover isn't about sounding like an announcer. It's about making someone believe the thought. Rachael shows you how to bring the acting skills you already have into voice work, identify the lanes that suit you, and understand why the right demo is the thing that gets the door open.
Nobody's Buying Your Acting. Here's What They Are Buying
Valorie Hubbard
The day you leave acting school, you're running a business whether anyone taught you how or not. Valorie shows you how to define the specific, castable value the industry can actually buy, then take responsibility for building and communicating it so your agent has something clear to sell.
How Casting Decides Where You Fit in 10 Seconds
Adria Tennor
Casting starts deciding where you fit before you've had time to explain anything. Adria shows you how to understand the archetype and qualities your materials already communicate, then use contrasting clips to expand what casting can imagine without making the picture less clear.
What Changes When You Stop Needing the Booking
Arron Lloyd
The work gets smaller when the audition has to rescue your rent, your confidence, or your career. Arron shows you how to notice the mental patterns that make one opportunity carry too much weight, then shift into the kind of freedom where you can want the job without asking it to save you.
How to Keep Moving When Nothing Is Happening
Aaron Metchik
When the work goes quiet, the danger isn't just fewer auditions. It's losing momentum because every next step feels too big to matter. Aaron shows you how to break the career into actions small enough to keep doing, so progress doesn't depend on motivation or immediate results.
The Casting Room Is on Your Side
Luis Selgas
Casting wants the answer to walk through the door. Luis shows you how to stop pushing for approval and create work that draws people in instead, using both the inner shift and the small technical choices that make a tape feel grounded, clear, and easy to watch.
Why Guessing the Line Helps You Learn It Faster
Joyce Hsieh
Passive rereading feels productive, but your brain learns faster when it has to retrieve the line. Joyce shows you why guessing before checking beats another read-through, and how the line you keep missing may be pointing straight at the place where the character gets most interesting.
Make Your Self-Tape Watchable From the First Frame
David Bianchi
A strong self-tape starts communicating before you say a word. David shows you how framing, sound, eyeline, and the frozen thumbnail shape the first impression, so the tape feels intentional and watchable without requiring expensive equipment or a perfect room.
The On-Set Rules Nobody Tells Actors
Brett Newton
Actors are judged on set by things nobody formally teaches: where to stand, when to speak, and whether you make the day easier. Brett shows you how to read what's happening around you, carry yourself like you belong there, and become the actor the crew is happy to keep finding another shot for.
Pretty Headshots Don't Book
Vanie Poyey
A beautiful headshot can still make the wrong promise. Vanie shows you how to create images that feel unmistakably like you and make the casting decision easier, so the people looking at them understand what they're getting before you ever enter the room.
What Makes a Casting Director Keep Watching
Amanda Lenker Doyle
Casting isn't waiting for you to prove how hard you worked. They're looking for someone who is already inside the scene. Amanda explains why dropped-in listening and a committed, comfortable choice are usually more compelling than a performance trying to announce itself, and how to recognize the take that actually feels alive.
