Forget everything you’ve learned about auditioning
Acting and auditioning are completely different skills. Most actors audition using their acting skills which is why they’re not booking.

The Toolbox
THE ULTIMATE AUDITION MASTERCLASS
The TOP TWO QUESTIONS that actors ask director, Gil Junger are, “how can I STAND OUT in my auditions" and "what did Heath and Julia do to get cast in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU?” His answer is: THE TOOLBOX. Ten career-defining lessons to change the way you audition forever—delivering authentic, compelling performances that stand out every, single, time.
The Workshop
MOST AUDITION CLASSES SUCK. HERE'S WHY.
The reason why 9 out of 10 actors sound the same is because they’re taught a complex myriad of techniques that take them further and further away from their truth. Creative brilliance is unplanned and unfiltered. You can’t technique your way into an authentic performance.
The Breakthru Method is a radical philosophy that defies traditional acting training… because it isn’t acting training. It teaches you the AUDITION SKILLS you need to book the role. Use The Breakthru Method to book the job, use your acting training once you get on set.
