Huge congratulations are in order for Zhaleh who booked a major RECURRING role on an upcoming streaming reboot!

Zhaleh does it all, and does it all with talent, charisma, and the world’s best attitude. This show is so lucky to have her, in a role that brilliantly expands her casting types.

Zhaleh is building some awesome momentum, recently appearing in Disney/Marvel’s Ironheart and recurring on The Chosen. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to watch this one when it airs.

Congratulations Zhaleh, you’re on a roll! So proud of you!! 👏💪🧡🤩

I’m so thrilled to share that Freda booked the lead in a feature shooting in France!

This was a wild one. She brought the sides into our Thursday Night class. The sides had a lot of room for improv and characters speaking multiple languages. But we took it one beat at a time, built out the beats, and figured out who the character when Freda stepped into the role. What started off difficult ended up so fun. I’m so proud of her the work she put in and booking the damn thing.

Congratulations Freda! 🤩🧡

BOOKED IT! 🎬🍿

Mapuana is absolutely crushing it right now. She just booked a great guest star on a long running procedural and also got upped to recurring on a fantastic AMC show that’s filming its second season! 👏🤩

I can’t say enough good things about Mapuana. Truly she is one of the most gifted artists and best people I know.

We got to work on the procedural callback in Tuesday Night class. It was so much fun finding the adjustment together, working to take something complicated and find the clear through line, anchored through a simple want. My own work is always better after working with Mapu, because I’m reminded of the power of patience and kindness towards self.

We’ll share some of Mapu’s work soon. But in the meantime, did you know she team teaches our Monday Day Online class with me? Or that she’s available as one of our incredible audition coaches? DM for more info on working with her!

Congratulations are in order for the one and only Brie Carter for booking a role on a long running network series!

One of the biggest issues actors have with auditions is time. Not having enough of it. And trust me, I get it. But Brie is one of the busiest people I know, professionally and personally, and my goodness does she show up more consistently than anyone. And always with a great attitude, great work, and a consistent source of caffeine 😂

Congratulations Brie, I couldn’t be happier for you! 🧡🤩🎉

Congratulations to Tiffany for booking a role on popular streaming comedy opposite an Oscar / Emmy / Tony nominee!

Tiffany is a shining light at the studio where she coaches up a storm and teaches our Tuesday night ongoing. She and I are often up after class till the middle of the night helping each other get our auditions taped. Everywhere she shows up she bring joy, light, talent, and laughs. I couldn’t be happier for her.

Congratulations Tiff!

It’s celebration time, because Maria signed with Key Talent Management! 🎉✍️🤩

Maria hustles like it’s her superpower, knows what she’s looking for, and never settles. I’m so thrilled and proud of her for making this fantastic new addition to her team. Maria sent Key Talent her incredible cold pitch email and got a response FOUR MINUTES LATER 🤯

Big congratulations to Katie-Renée Taylor for booking a commercial for a brand I don’t think we’re allowed to mention yet!

Sometimes commercial auditions just ask for a quick look or simple action. Other times they need real vocal dexterity, physical comedy, and perfect precision and this is one of those.

I love watching Katie-Renée’s work in class. Always a truly unique take full of humor and life. I can’t wait to see this spot. Congratulations!!
