Maybe like you, my lack of acting work drove me crazy and I was on the brink of giving it all up. But I instead I decided to try and take back control by attempting to make my own work. I knew nothing about filmmaking, cameras, lights or sound, but the love i had for my craft would not let that stop me!
I bought the best dslr camera that i could afford and started from there.
This was only 10 years ago… But If it was today… I’d have just used my phone! And got practically the same results!
When I first started, I had no actors to film or anyone for that matter… So id film myself… (This is a few years before the “Self-Tape”phenomenon btw…) This was a revelation… And I could practice my craft… even when resting! I just wished the technology around today was around when I was starting out.
As a younger actor my biggest concern was…
A: How do I get screen acting work without screen acting experience?
B: How do I get screen acting experience without screen acting work?
C: And how am I supposed to get a showreel?
So as my knowledge of filmmaking grew… along side the “self tape” phenomenon… and the ever advancing technology available… It struck me that all screen actors need to know just how easy this all is… And thats when the idea of “Online Screen Acting Academy” was born.
TRUST ME.
IF "I" CAN DO THIS...
ANYONE CAN!
There are no longer any excuses as to why you cant start right now! To develop not only your craft but also your begin to build or add to your show-reel!
And stop sending SELF-TAPES that you know don’t accurately represent your talents!
Because if you’re honest with yourself, like I had to be, at least 80% of your process was stress induced by setting up the gear, making sure its all working, finding a lighting state that makes you look your best… Etc… Its no surprise that by the time you’re ready to film, you’re lucky if you can still remember the lines, let alone get into character…. I talk from experience here.
Our brain waves are in stress mode… Not creative mode…. Its no wonder we then just settle for “That’ll do…”
Once you master the basics and accept a few self-tape challenges, you will begin to change. The ripples are profound, from increased confidence, bold choice making to igniting a new passion and an electricity that will burst right out of the screen!
So, right now, all you care about is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU!
Well… As well as an coaching for over 30 years I’ve also worked fairly consistently as a screen actor during this time too. Film and TV. Mostly TV, in fact LOADS of TV. Soaps and ongoing dramas have allowed me to clock up my 10’000 hours over the years I reckon…
So i’ve built up a bunch of hacks and techniques over the years that have kept me in screen acting work pretty consistently for all of this time.
And in the screen acting modules, i’ll begin to share my favourite techniques and approaches that you can immediately put in to practice by simply turning to your new screen actors training ground - YOUR CAMERA! Theory into practice!
Actors I’ve already started sharing this course and it’s methods with, are blown away at how fast they can learn the fundamentals and begin to self-shoot incredible looking footage when they follow this proven step-by-step process.
I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey!
For all of those joining the prelaunch, I will be hosting a kick off Live Q&A call in our private community.
And thats not all - In future, the live Q and A calls will be only available through a subscription… But to all of you early birds… they will always be free!

You aren't willing to take instructions and prefer to figure things out on your own with trial and error.
You do not like supportive communities .
You find it hard to put the work in.
You still don't get that you're going to have put yourself on camera for self-tapes anyway... and that in doing it properly far increases your chances of actually getting the role.
This is for all skill levels. Whether a beginner and wanting to give it a go. Or an experienced actor in need of some fitness training and accountabilty challenges to keep match fit.
You have access to both the course and the community for life! This includes the ever growing library of scene scripts tailor written by professional industry writers with you and the casting directors and agents in mind.
Probably yes. Thats how I learned to make films for example... But thats the point. It's unlikely you're here to make a feature film. And as i've done the years of trawling youtube for filmmaking techniques and science, I've cut out every you don't need to learn. And kept it as easy and as straight forward as possible.
As for my personal acting techniques and experiences... no, they're not on youtube. 😜
If you have a camera on your phone, and access to a closed window... You're good to go.
Obviously things get more fun as we introduce new gear...But it's not essential. I would invest in a lav mic of some kind... these can cost as little as $14...
Another reason for keeping the price of this course insanely low - is so you are potentially left in a position to buy some gear.
Again, if you've a camera and a window... that is enough to start. And even if you didn't you would still benefit from the screen acting technique videos.
