YOU DESERVE A GREAT TEAM.
You’ve trained so hard. You’ve gotten work on your own.
You’re doing all the things, yet you can’t land the meeting you really want.
So, why does it feel so hard sometimes to find the right agent or manager?
TRUTH: Reps receive hundreds of submissions every week. There’s so much noise out there with countless actors relying on cheesy gimmicks to be seen.
On top of managing countless submissions, these agents and managers are very busy serving their current clients.
Most actors don’t realize that the way they present themselves actually discourages agents from signing them.
- They don’t know how to put their best foot forward
- They don’t have the RIGHT materials in place
- They don’t effectively follow-up
- And their whole approach feel like a guessing game
Most actors do a massive mailing every six months or so and then take what they can get. Which means they often end up settling for an agent or manager who ends up disappointing them.
And then they start the whole crazy cycle again.
It’s time to break that cycle.
What you need is a proven strategy with cutting edge tools designed to help you stand out from the crowd to secure meetings and partner with the representation you need to take your acting career to the next level.
And I don’t mean a big agency that puts you on their roster but never sends you out or a teeny tiny agency with no pull. I mean the perfect match for where YOU are in your career RIGHT NOW.

There are so many mistakes I’ve made along my journey to finding great reps. My very first agent scammed me. My first LA agent didn’t believe in email. I was working so HARD but not seeing the results I felt I deserved.
I know exactly how exhausting it feels to work so hard to sign with an agent, only to be disappointed by the lack of auditions they get you. And then you do the whole process again only to sign with ANOTHER rep that doesn’t quite get you and doesn’t know how to advocate for you.
Since working on the business side of the industry, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to attract an amazing team and the incredible career breakthroughs that happen as a result of the right partnership. It’s been over a decade since I felt I was “struggling” to get a great team because of the tools and strategies I’m empowered with. I’ve booked so many amazing projects as a result of the incredible reps I’ve partnered with. In fact, I’ve booked 4 TV shows in the last 6 months (including a recurring guest star on Jerry Bruckheimer’s critically acclaimed show HIGHTOWN).
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 for the world.
YOUR ALTERNATIVES
1. Fly Solo
Piece together a hodgepodge of strategies you pick up by listening to podcasts or free stuff you find online. Sure, you will learn new things and you may even see results. But how well has piecing stuff together worked for you in the past? It took me 8+ years of trial and error PLUS working in representation to learn these effective strategies.
The Insider System contains your A-Z roadmap to getting the right reps for you. I’ve eliminated all the guesswork for you and these strategies have WORKED for hundreds of actors. You can finally ignore all the conflicting advice and bright shiny object strategies you’ve been hit with up until now.
2). Pay for a bunch of agent workshops
Pay for a bunch of agent and manager workshops and hope that you can land a good rep (virtually or in-person).
3). Wait until the right time
You could tell yourself you’re not ready yet and wing it until Pilot Season 2023. It’s so easy to let your fear hold you back, convincing you that you’re not ready to partner with a fantastic rep.
This is your invitation to take new action. You deserve it. Don’t try to do this alone. TV shows and movies are being filmed now, don’t hold off on partnering with a rep that will help open so many doors for you.

Got questions?
We’ve got Answers for ya…
1. Can you guarantee that I’ll get the right rep for me within the next couple of months?
We both know that I can’t promise that. It’s up to you to implement what you learn inside The Insider System. But I can promise you that this course thoroughly guides you through what our students and I have done to land amazing reps. 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 many credits and my materials aren’t polished yet. Should I hold off on taking this class?
The Insider System is designed to help you partner with the best rep for EXACTLY where you are in your career right now. You don’t have to wait until you book XYZ credit before reaching out to reps. Learn the tools and reach out to them now so they can support you in achieving your acting goals and dreams.
Also, I’ll guide you through how to put together really unique marketing materials. No reel? No problem! I’ll show you a VERY easy workaround if you don’t currently have a reel you love.
WHAT WOULD HAVING AN AMAZING TEAM OF
REPS MEAN TO YOU?
“Finally auditioning regularly for TV and film.”
“More bookings!”
“Feeling confident that I have a great team
that has my back at all times.”
“I can finally be a WORKING actor!”
