Yes!

I love helping clients find new monologues! I don’t just hand you a bunch and send you on your way. For folks looking for new material, I recommend clients book a 3 or 5 session coaching package.

The first session we look over your resume, discuss what roles you felt connected to, and what your dream roles are. We talk about your unique qualities, and what you bring to your characters, and also discuss boundaries and material you don’t want to have in monologues (I also won’t give you material that is outside of your playable characters, so I am mindful of age and race in your selection process, and avoid overly graphic content anyway). We will also discuss what your goals are for this audition material and what audition requirements may be.

The second session I’ll have compiled a bunch of monologues for us to look at together. Hearing you read them aloud will help me determine if it is a good fit, or if we need to try something different. I’ll want to hear what you like and dislike about pieces so I can make adjustments.

By the third session we can start discussing script analysis, and acting techniques to prepare your monologues for auditions. If you choose a 5 session package, that give us more time to work the material, and get it fully polished for an audition!

Yes and No.

Submitting for representation should be when you are already able to audition at a professional level, and you have an established resume of experience and training. Most agents don’t have the time or energy to train emerging actors, and sending inexperienced actors out can make them look bad.

What I’ve worked on with previous clients who have landed representation is updating their actor materials to a professional level (headshot, resume, video footage), and worked on acting techniques, so they are ready to learn and execute an audition at the professional level.

Actors shouldn’t rely on their agents to book work. Whether or not you have an agent, you are able to submit yourself for projects, develop relationships with casting directors, continue your training and develop special skills, create your own work and promote it. That personal drive is what makes you a good potential client for an agency, so I recommend figuring out how to build your experience and and develop relationships before pursuing representation.

VO is not my speciality. Locally, I’d recommend Jack Straw for training and recording. For online training, I’d recommend Voicecaster.
