DNA Development Retainer

A three-month, individually tailored coaching commitment designed to help actors break through plateaus and meaningfully improve their bookability. Each engagement is customized to the actor’s current needs, challenges, and goals, allowing the work to adapt as progress unfolds rather than follow a rigid curriculum.

Across three months, the focus is on consistent training, practical application, and long-term development — refining process, strengthening decision-making, and building confidence that holds up under pressure. Through a structured blend of live coaching, async work, and targeted feedback, actors are supported in developing greater self-sufficiency, clarity, and trust in their work.

This is a commitment to transformation, not quick fixes. The goal is to equip actors with the tools, awareness, and independence needed to continue progressing and booking beyond the engagement itself.

What Each Month Looks Like

Each month of the DNA Development Retainer follows a consistent, supportive rhythm designed to balance guided coaching with independent work.

You’ll have two live 1:1 coaching sessions per month, working with material in an audition-style setting. Here we will diagnose and target the unique issues that are holding you back and build your custom training program to systematically solve those problems. Alongside the live work, you’ll receive two asynchronous feedback sessions, which may include self-tape diagnostics and text analysis videos, offering clear, actionable direction you can apply on your own time.

Between sessions, you’ll be given custom homework, research prompts, and direction tailored to your specific developmental needs. This independent work is a core part of the process, helping you build self-sufficiency, strengthen your preparation habits, and take greater ownership of your craft.

The structure remains consistent, while the focus and material evolve based on your progress and goals.

This is a program tailored to you.
