Crush the Callback

Master the Virtual Callback. Elevate Your Audition Game.

Overview
Callbacks are increasingly happening virtually, and the actors who can excel in this environment stand out and book the roles. Crush the Callback is a three-hour, high-level workshop limited to 14 actors (ages 16 and up). It’s designed to teach you how to showcase your very best self in a Zoom-style callback and handle the nuances of online auditioning like a pro.

What You’ll Experience

• Live Virtual Callback Training – Learn how to command the virtual space with precision: framing, energy, timing, connection, and authentic presence.

• Immediate Feedback from an Industry Pro – Perform live, take notes in real time, and instantly apply adjustments to elevate your performance.

Chemistry Reads Under Pressure
Just like a real callback session, the guest will pair actors randomly for chemistry reads. This challenges your adaptability, collaborative instincts, and ability to live truthfully in the moment with another actor virtually — the exact skills casting directors look for.

Q&A and Insider Insight
The class concludes with a focused Q&A where you can ask both craft and business questions, gaining insider tips to sharpen your callback strategy and book more work.
