You’ve been doing all the 'right' things—working on your craft, taking workshops, emailing casting directors, and trying to keep it real with your agent—but despite your talent, and passion, auditions for better roles are few and far between (if they’re there at all).

You’re frustrated. You’re ready for the next level—but the industry doesn’t seem to notice. 

Here’s the thing: As long as you are working on your craft, YOU are not the problem and neither is your talent. Your strategies are to blame. Now it’s time to work smarter, not harder. 

The below strategies are proven and they work because they're not just about doing more, they’re about doing what really matters.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and invisible despite all your effort, here’s how you change that:

Own What Makes Your Unicorn Factors (the problem is the solution, remember?)

Your unicorn factors are what set you apart from the crowd. The more clearly you can define them, the more you’ll own your place in the industry. It’s about leaning into the weird and wonderful you and the qualities that only you possess, so you’re the one people remember. You’ll be saying, “What competition?” because no one else can bring what you do.

Show Up with Confidence in Your Pitch

When you’re not acting you’re looking for the next job and that means you’ve got to learn how to pitch yourself. Whether you need a new agent, want to submit to an audition notice, or even are talking to filmmakers at festivals and premiers, you should always be planting seeds that you are the go to actor for your special unicorn factors. 

Pitching isn’t just about selling yourself or being transactional. Forget the whole ‘what can you give me’ vibe—it’s about owning your unique value and making it clear in a way that feels authentic and natural. When you’re confident in what you bring, others will see it too, and the right opportunities will follow. And best yet, it’s empowering to learn how to connect with the right people in an authentic, low-pressure way.

Build Relationships That Open Doors

Here’s the thing: people like working with people they like, and networking is really just about building professional friendships. You need to form genuine connections with the people who will help you open those doors to the right rooms.

This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about shifting the way you approach your career so that you’re not just running in circles. Now, here’s how we turn that frustration around...

Get Better Roles

This is my signature program based on the 5 pillars of a thriving acting career (mindset, branding, marketing, networking, and community) where I’ve helped over 500 actors in 12 countries to finally hone in on their special uniqueness (yep, their unicorn factors) and articulate them into pitches that build authentic relationships. Once you’ve got these strategies down, landing roles that truly align with you won’t feel like a shot in the dark. You’ll know exactly what makes you stand out, and how to get more opportunities to audition for better roles.

Passion Project to Pro

This is the exact method I used to relaunch my career, build a community, network with filmmakers and casting directors, and make a steady income—all around my schedule. It’s a way to turn your passion for acting into something more—a side gig (or even a business) that supports your career. And you don’t need to be an expert or coach to make it happen.

In this 9-week program, I’ll guide you step-by-step from your first idea to launching your first event. And here’s the best part: you’ll learn how to structure your events so that the cost of your participation is built in. That means you can actually earn back your investment before the program ends. After your first event, we’ll do a debrief to talk about what went well and what you can tweak for next time. And from there, you’ll know how to keep structuring events in a way that lets you participate for free moving forward.

 

And… Action!!

But here’s the truth—information’s great, but without implementation, it won’t get you anywhere. That's why, for both Get Better Roles and Passion Project to Pro, I include weekly coaching sessions and access to a private community of people doing exactly what you're doing. You'll have the support you need for as long as you need it. Period.

To help you take action right away, I’m offering you a FREE workbook: “Getting into the Rooms that Matter.”

This workbook will guide you through the steps to own your Unicorn Factor, pitch with confidence, and start building relationships. And if you want to dive deeper, Get Better Roles and Passion Project to Pro will provide you with the ongoing tools, strategies, and support to truly master these skills and level up your career.

• How to highlight your unique strengths so you’re noticed for the roles that fit you perfectly.

Until next time, you stay your bold and beautiful self.
