The Industry has changed.

It has. And it will continue to change. And the ever-changing nature of things can make an already tough-to-navigate profession even more difficult. Sometimes it can feel like it’s all just so far out of your control.
‍
The good news? There is one thing you CAN control… How YOU react to it.

No matter what you’ve been told… just following some perceived prescription about auditioning or self-taping is the antithesis of showing up and being seen. And it has the unintended side-effect of taking you out of your power. Because your best audition doesn’t come from you trying to figure out what “they want,” it comes from you giving the most present, most authentic version of what you have to offer. Same goes for building and sustaining a successful acting career. The actor who stands out — who grabs the attention of casting directors, directors, producers, and executives — isn’t the one who “does everything right,” they are the one who shows up with ease, with presence, self-possessed, fully dropped into the moment, and focused on the only thing that actually matters… The work.

The actor who brings themself fully without apology to all areas of their career.

“So, how do I do that?”

That’s what this class will help you discover.

Over the course of 8 weeks in-Studio (with 1-2 online classes on Zoom), Johnathan McClain will work with you to access and shine a light on your unique, authentic voice and the power YOU hold every time you show up for an audition or self-tape, and your entire career. He’ll offer you tools and skills to help you always remember that when you audition for anything, ever, no matter what it is, you are not ASKING anyone for anything (permission, approval … A JOB), you are SOLVING A PROBLEM by offering whoever you are auditioning for the most compelling, dynamic version of yourself you can be and presenting them with the kind of actor who will show up focused on the task at hand and unshakably confident in their ability to deliver.

Johnathan's extensive career — on both sides of the camera; as an actor auditioning for roles and as a writer/producer casting roles — has taught him one thing: The key to success is learning that while you can’t control the outcome of an audition, you can control everything else about it. You can control how you prepare, how you present, how you leave it all in the room and on the tape, and — most importantly — how you leave it all behind once it's done. How you give the gift of your time and talent and then walk away even more empowered than when you started, confident in the knowledge that you gave all you could give and proud of the work you’ve done. These are the building blocks that are the foundation to creating and maintaining a rich, successful, enduring career that remains solid and constant no matter what changes may come your way or perceived obstacles may appear in your path.
