ABOUT THIS CLASS

​

In this class, you’ll start each week with a co-star cold read to warm up, then move on to a prepared guest star, series regular, or film audition across different genres. You’ll practice Jeremy’s simple yet powerful 5-step technique to unlock your truth and harness the beautiful, complex, and talented human being you already are.

​

YOU WILL PRACTICE:

  • Analyzing the script simply - you don’t need to be creative - you need to be honest. (The scene is not about booking the job, nor should the audition be).

  • Understanding how the performance in your audition must often be different from the performance once you book (Without editing, scoring, environment, acceptance - you need to work differently).

  • Clearing your mind about what you think you’re “supposed to do” (Cuz honestly you have no-f**king idea what casting wants without talking to us).

  • Empowering you, with Jeremy’s decade-proven technique, to unlock access to what’s truly unique about you (YOUR instinct and authenticity).

  • Removing the question mark about “what we want” and make every audition feel “right.” (It’s time you take your power back - YOU are who we want, not your ideas).

  • Uncovering your “blocks" in accessing what your most special contribution can be (Your truth, your past, your losses, your wins, your heart)

  • Feeling powerful, proud and limitless with your work (You are an artist - it’s time to honor your art).

​​

This class is about building confidence, rediscovering your power, and connecting deeply with your art.
