AUDITION LESSONS
We send you curated audition lesson self tape style! You'll learn to craft cast-able audition with our 3 step process! Each lesson coaches you on a single choice. For example: Moment before or Emotional change!
Monday - Dream. Imagine the scene. Create it in your imagination. This is the actors version of measure twice, cut once.
Wednesday - Plan. In this lesson you'll see where you are in the scene. Plan and practice your reactions to people, places and things.
Friday - Create. On Friday you'll play with what you've dreamt and planned. Tape and watch your work. Is it what you wanted to do? Upload it into the group! If not... do a few takes until you feel you've got what you want!

WE'RE KC & DONNA-MARIE.
Most would describe us as coaches.
But in reality, we're so much more than that. And so are you.
We coach actors to lead roles in series and films that are #1 in the world on major networks and streaming services.
I do this from my coastal property in BC. Donna-Marie works from her home in Calgary, Alberta.
This is not a normal life for acting coaches. Most coaches are actors who need day jobs.
We're not actors. We're coaches.
We travel for speaking engagements, coaching on set, or for the in-person aspect of our coaching. We live where we want to live.
We don't want normal lives.
We believe we should all be empowered to live our dreams.
We know if we take small, smart, risky steps to an incredible goal - we are unstoppable!
Society may put us in boxes, but that doesn't mean we have to stay there.
Donna-Marie and I coach you on more than just the standard techniques actors use. We coach your confidence, mindset, vision and success too.
Let's break free from who we think we should be and start living the fulfilling life we deserve with confidence and a sense of pride.
Don't let frightened people with small dreams affect the way you think and live in the world.
"A great coach can change your life...I would not have the career I have today if I didn't have Kirsten in my life."
Calum Worthy
"Booked my very first feature film as a lead. I didn’t know that I’ll be able to book a feature film, I just kept going. That’s all I can share for now. Thank you KC & Donna...for your guidance and support."
Sherrylyn Vergara
"The self-talk has made a huge difference in my life."
Amber Shaun
"I can't put my finger on just one thing. Everything you've taught me, KC, has helped me way more thank you can imagine."
