Agent Showcase: Direct Access to Representation
Five Industry Guests. One Self Tape. Five Sets of Notes.
Most actors spend months, sometimes years, sending submissions into a void and hoping the right representative opens the file. This showcase puts you in front of five agents and managers in a single session, with a prepared self tape, a polished slate, professional written feedback from each guest, and a live Q&A with the people who decide.
There is no other workshop, class, or audition that gives you this much representation at once.
Self-Paced Virtual Training Included
Before the showcase you get full access to our go-at-your-own-pace training. You'll cover the technical side of self-taping (setup, framing, lighting, sound, editing) and the business side of getting an agent (who to target, how to approach, what reps actually open). You walk into the showcase knowing exactly what's expected and how to deliver it.
Original Sides Provided
You won't be scrambling to find material. We provide a curated selection of original sides written across genres, tones, and types. Choose what fits you best, prepare it on your own time, and bring it ready to tape.
Live Showcase in Front of Five Agents and Managers
You'll perform your self tape and slate for five industry guests in real time. They watch, take notes, and prepare written feedback specific to your work. This is the room you've been trying to get into, compressed into one focused session.
Written PDF Feedback from Every Guest
You won't walk away wondering what they thought. Each of the five guests delivers a written PDF evaluation of your tape and slate. That's five professional perspectives on the same material, side by side, so you can spot the patterns and act on them immediately.
Open Q&A with All Five Guests
The session closes with a live Q&A. Ask the questions actors rarely get to ask: what gets a tape watched all the way through, what gets an actor passed in five seconds, what they wish actors knew before reaching out, how to follow up without burning a bridge.
We'll Work On:
A self tape that earns a full watch
A slate that lands with personality without trying too hard
A submission strategy built for how reps actually find clients
A plan for what to do with the feedback after the session ends

Why It's Different:
This isn't a class about getting representation. It's a showcase in front of the people who give it. You leave with a sharper tape, five sets of professional notes, a working strategy for the business side of acting, and your name in front of five offices that book real work. Nowhere else can you sit in front of this much representation in one session and walk away knowing exactly what to do next.
