“Sarah was incredibly helpful during my manager meetings. After one particularly horrible meeting, she helped me realize what was and was not within my control: how to prepare, what things to say in terms of goals and vision for myself, and what kinds of questions to ask of potential managers. The very next day I had a meeting that I felt very prepared for, and it went wonderfully! In fact, I signed with that manager the next week! Sarah is just the right amount of pep talk, kick in the butt and goal-driven coach that everyone needs.”

“I highly recommend Sarah’s Actors career Jumpstart for any actor trying to understand, find their place in, and break into the industry in Los Angeles. With Sarah’s guidance and incredible insight into both the business and artistic side of acting in L.A., I feel like I’ve been kickstarted into my career and have learned in six weeks what it would otherwise have taken me years and years to understand. I came to L.A. as a very enthusiastic and energetic actress but could have spent a lot of time putting energy into areas that wouldn’t have really served my career long-term. Sarah helps you focus your energy and ambition into what’s really going to help you get your career going. She teaches you to be honest about your type and your goals, and sets you up with an action plan so you can keep going and stay focused on your career long after the course ends. Sarah helped me figure out exactly how to market myself to casting directors and agents to make it easy for them to see which roles they can cast me in, and encouraged me to keep my standards high and set my sights on the shows and projects I really want to be involved with. Sarah approaches the film and television industry with the intelligence of a businesswoman and the strategy of a total professional. She showed me how to channel all of my dreams and excitement into the concise and detailed action steps necessary to achieve them. If you want to learn the ins and outs of this industry, develop your career, and create a solid plan for reaching your dreams, Sarah’s mentoring for Actors course is the best I’ve found in L.A.”
