Is this you?

 I deserve great Reps.

 I SHOULD land auditions all the time.

 I’ve trained so hard.

 I’ve gotten work on my own.

 I’m doing all the things, yet my auditions are few & far between and sometimes it feels like the chips are stacked against me.

 I’m in a tough category.

 I get so much conflicting advice on my branding.

 My materials don’t truly highlight me in the way I know they need to for me to stand out.

 I have such a broad rang; I don’t want to niche down.

 
Truth-surprised-girl-scaled

Truth:

On average, Casting receives 2200 submissions for every role they cast. Yet, they rarely have time to see more than a dozen actors for the part.

Uncover your brand & let it shine through
in all of your marketing.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you must embrace a unique, specific, and castable niche. 

Get Rich In Your Niche will help you identify exactly what makes you stand out within your “category” and quickly communicate a cohesive message that industry pros completely understand and WANT to call you in because of it. 

 If you want to work more often, you must narrow your focus on the Gold Medal Roles you can easily book. 

 Those bookings will give you the credibility you need to then broaden your range and book even more work.  

 Yet, most actors don’t realize their materials actually prevent  them from getting auditions. 

  • Their headshots are pretty instead of specific.
  • They have too many looks which just creates confusion.
  • Their footage blends into the sea of sameness instead of standing out.
  • Their materials are scattered rather than on-brand.
  • And their whole approach feel like a guessing game. So, without a tangible strategy, they just take more headshots and hope something will change. 

You don’t need more headshots. You need a stronger brand. 

 If you’re tired of guessing about what casting wants… 

 … assuming that you’re in a tough category…

… and watching other (less talented!) actors book roles you didn’t even get the chance to audition for…

It’s time to GET RICH IN YOUR NICHE so you can have a Money-Making Brand & Killer Marketing Materials. This is the proven system to help you get more agent meetings, be REMEMBERED by casting, and take your acting career (and resume!) to the next level. 

Here’ what you’ll do inside

5 Acting Jobs After 15 Years of No Bookings

“I only wish I found Jona and Career ACTivate decades ago.  If you follow all these steps, I feel like it’s guaranteed that you will move forward in your career in ways that were unimaginable before.  I’ve had 5 acting jobs (a Seth Rogan project, a commercial, TV show, audiobook, AND a feature) since starting the program, after having had none for 15 years.”

Crucial Details For Veteran Actors

Having been working steadily for the past several years, it’s easy to fall behind with what is being sought after from a marketing standpoint. Plenty of people are quick to suggest things to do (update headshots, reels, resumes, etc.) but rarely do they give you context as to why these updates and synchronicity of branding will benefit you, but the best way to determine what that “branding” should even look like for you, individually.

This course presents that much desired context and offers options for ways for students to discover their own path for their own self.”

“I’ve been spending the past month really honing down on my brand with the amazing tips Jona had provided in the course; doing a complete refresh of my IMDB page, website, resume, and being very selective of which headshots and reel clips I uploaded on Actors Access.

Amazingly, I’ve had multiple audition requests this week. All of which the characters math the age range and character type I was striving for!
(Which was struggle previously).”

Wanted To Give Up, But Now My Excitement and Passion Are Back!

“Throughout my career when I would take business acting classes or get advice from type-A successful business people, I would always leave feeling as if someone had just placed a boulder on top of me. I just thought with my personality I would never be able to get ahead in this vital part of the industry. I felt like I was just on a hamster’s wheel because I would book roles & impress casting director’s, but be so terrible with the follow up and marketing that it felt like one step forward, two steps back every time. I was breaking down to friends thinking I should finally give up and two days later I found out about this course and I can honestly tell you for the first time in my entire career, I do not feel overwhelmed, I have my excitement and passion back and actually look forward to the tasks. I am someone who can make procrastination a JOB, so if this worked well for me…trust me, it can help anyone move forward in leaps and bounds!! Thank you Jona & Career ACTivate for giving me back my hope in my dreams!”

A Little bit about your teacher,

I used to be ALL over the place with my branding and materials. Take a look at some of these #headshotfails:

A-Confused-Mind-Says-NO

When I would ask my reps why I wasn’t getting many auditions, they would suggest I take new headshots. So I kept doing that. And sometimes I would see an uptick in my auditions, only to feel crushed that I was barely getting callbacks or bookings. It took me YEARS to realize that my materials weren’t getting me in the room for the roles that were really RIGHT for me.

Since working on the business side of the industry, I’ve learned that branding needs to be a comprehensive process. Just going around and asking your friends how they “see you” or paying someone to “typecast” you doesn’t cut it.

You want a proven, reliable process to both brand yourself and then a process for how to actually COMMUNICATE that brand effectively. I broke into TV first with a very specific niche and was able to book my first few TV roles and then used these same tools and strategies to re-brand myself as my brand shifted and matured over time.

I’m passionate about helping you along your journey because I believe TV shows and films transform the world and the more artists I support, the more good I’m doing the world 🙂

YOUR ALTERNATIVES

1. Fly Solo

You’re smart and talented. So you COULD try to figure out a branding strategy watching what other actors do. But remember, it’s REALLY hard to see yourself the same way casting sees you. I know!

I’ve eliminated all the guesswork for you and these strategies have WORKED for hundreds of actors.

Got questions?

We’ve got Answers for ya…

1. Can you guarantee that I’ll get highly-paid acting roles in the next couple of months?
We both know I can’t promise that. It’s up to you to implement what you learn inside the program. But I can promise you that this program thoroughly guides you through what our students, clients, and I have done to hone in on their brand and create stand-out materials. So, if you do the work, I am confident you will see results.

2. I’m nervous that I won’t have time to implement. How much work are we talking about here?
Most of the students who have gone through this course and landed great reps have gone through this process while working a lot or having a very busy schedule. The real question is, do you really want this? Plan to spend a couple hours each week on the course and you’ll be good to go.

3. I don’t have any reel footage. Should I hold off on taking this course?
Take this class and you’ll finally have footage you are proud of that really represents you the way you deserve. I’ll guide you on how to easily create material for your reel and also super effective work-arounds if you don’t have the bandwidth to put together a reel right now. I’ve used these workarounds when I didn’t have a current reel at the time to land BIG manager meetings with “reach” managers on my list.

What would having amazing, on-brand materials mean to you?
