Hi Reader, The step in my process that gets the most pushback? Finding your prototypes. I get it. It feels lame, maybe even dumb. You're a whole, complex, irreducible human. Not a type. And being compared to someone else feels reductive at best. Insulting at worst. But here's the thing: Hollywood has been doing this for years and it's not gonna stop anytime soon. It's not malicious. It's a shorthand — a shared code that helps everyone in the industry communicate on common ground. "We want a Zendaya type." If you audition with any regularity, you've seen this language in the breakdowns your agent forwards you. It lives in casting offices, on director calls, in conversations we're not in the room for. Hollywood didn't invent it to hurt us. It just happened as a way to communicate about character and story. You can resist it and hope someone takes the time to piece together everything you are from a handful of disconnected clips and a headshot. Or you can learn the language. Then use it strategically. Aim casting in the right Reader direction — so they can actually cast you. Right now. That's Week 1 of Casting DNA™. That's where we start. On April 7th, I'll be working with a handful of actors who decided to lean in instead of push back. Who figured out that speaking Hollywood's language isn't selling out — it's showing up. Because once that clicks? It's not a cage. It's a roadmap. Use it. Find some buried treasure. Enrollment closes Tuesday, April 7 at noon PT. We start that same day at 4pm. If you're ready to stop being misread — and start being obvious in the right way:
$750 pay in full If you're still on the fence, you can book a free 15-minute call with me. I've opened up some weekend times I don't normally offer and kept the lead time short — you can grab a spot as soon as two hours from now. No pitch. Just answers. Adria |
