ABOUT THIS CLASS
​
Let’s be real: the words series regular can feel overwhelming. This class is here to change that.
Over four weeks, we’ll work on series regular material from pilots. Each session is about breaking it down—scripts, character arcs, what casting directors are really looking for—and building you up with the tools and confidence you need to tackle these auditions.
​
Here’s the truth: landing a series regular role doesn’t take perfection. It takes preparation, clarity, and a strong sense of what you bring to the table.
​
What you’ll get out of this class:
-
How to approach series regular material with confidence and clarity.
-
Strategies to apply your unique strengths to the audition process.
-
A deeper understanding of the thought process behind casting these pivotal roles.
​​
If you’ve been waiting for permission to go after roles like this, consider this it. Let’s make it happen.

TESTIMONIALS
As an actor my craft has grown under Christy's guidance, I'm able to take bigger risks, make bolder choices and to push myself further. She has a special knack for honing in on areas of the work that don't ring as authentic, and a talent for bringing out the best in her actors. Her notes are forthright and specific, I'm always engaged in her class, and I'm excited to keep developing and growing as an artist under her guidance.
Dominic Burgess
I’ve known Christy for years and continue to learn from her. She is the quintessential actor’s friend, and a master of script analysis. With an extensive and very impressive casting resume, her notes are always with both the character in mind, and tailored to how they fit on the individual actor. What more could you want in a teacher? I encourage all actors to learn from her…as I do.
Joel Johnstone
Christy has been instrumental in my successes in the audition room. She is straightforward, no nonsense, truthful, and genuine. She has great attention-to-detail in identifying the needs of each actor, from your strengths and what you do best, to what needs improvement. I also love the feel of community, we have become a group of supportive, giving actors who go out of our way to help one another, and celebrate each other.
