Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Houston looks like
Houston has a large commercial and corporate production market alongside a growing feature and regional drama pipeline. Most professional Houston actors also audition by self-tape for Austin, Dallas, and national productions.
Coaching for young Houston actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Houston minors hold a current Department of Family and Protective Services background check, issued by the Texas DFPS. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Houston-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Houston. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
