Coaching at Child Actor 101: Rebranded, Refreshed, and Ready for Your Young Actor
When your child lands an audition, the household turns into a frenzy. Scripts get printed, tape setups rise from dining rooms, and suddenly you’re managing lights, sound, and performance under deadline. But here’s the truth: without proper coaching, most kids just memorize lines. They don’t live the role.
That’s why coaching matters. And now—after a full rebrand—Child Actor 101 Coaching is clearer, sharper, and built entirely around your child’s growth.
Why the Rebrand?
Over years of coaching hundreds of young actors—from their first audition jitters to callbacks for network series—I noticed a gap. Parents weren’t always sure what type of coaching fit the moment.
Was this a quick one-off before tomorrow’s tape?
Or was it the kind of role that needed deeper character excavation?
Or maybe your child just needed regular, consistent training to build long-term confidence?
So I tore down the old system and rebuilt it. The result? A coaching program that’s crystal clear, tailored, and designed to meet young actors exactly where they are.
The Four Paths to Growth
Our rebranded coaching programs aren’t just new names with fresh graphics—they’re intentional, easy-to-understand paths that match where your child is on their acting journey. Each offer is tailored to specific needs: quick-turn auditions, momentum-building bundles, consistent training, or self-tape mastery.
Here’s a closer look at each option:
1. Strategic Scene Session
For: Auditions that need immediate impact
Sometimes an audition drops, and you need to move fast. The Strategic Scene Session is built for that moment.
You’ll receive a Prep101 guide before the session—so your child arrives with character insights and scene analysis in hand.
In live coaching, we go straight to performance choices: what makes the character pop, where to take risks, and how to land a memorable button.
Best for parents who want confidence their child is walking into the audition room (or self-tape setup) with strategy, not guesswork.
Think of it as a high-octane tune-up—precision coaching that sharpens performance in time for casting to notice.
2. The Breakthrough Pack
For: Building confidence and breaking habits
Growth in acting doesn’t always come from one session—it comes from consistent, focused work. That’s where The Breakthrough Pack comes in:
A 7-session private coaching bundle designed to create momentum.
Perfect for actors who want to level up skills fast, build stronger habits, or shake off nerves that keep them from shining.
Includes Prep101 when auditions are in play, so sessions can pivot from skill-building into audition prep seamlessly.
Parents love this package because it’s both structured and flexible—a track that meets your child where they are and gets them to their next big leap.
3. The Pro Track
For: Families ready to invest in consistent, long-term growth
The actors who get noticed are the ones who put in steady work over time. The Pro Track is our ongoing training plan:
Built for actors aiming for a professional career trajectory in TV and film.
Coaching is customized to each audition week, with Prep101 integrated when needed.
This is the discipline + strategy = results path. Over months, we track growth, refine craft, and build the kind of confidence that makes auditions feel like opportunities—not stress tests.
4. The Audition Advantage Plan
For: Mastering the self-tape era
Casting has shifted heavily into self-tapes. If you want your child to compete, they need tapes that look professional and feel alive. The Audition Advantage Plan is designed for exactly that:
Two self-tape coaching sessions per month (I act as both coach and reader).
Two self-tape feedback reviews, with clear, actionable notes.
Prep101 included for audition roles, so every tape starts with depth and direction.
This plan is essentially a built-in self-tape partner. Instead of scrambling for last-minute readers or guessing if the tape “works,” you’ll know it’s polished, competitive, and industry-ready.

What’s New
1. Prep101 Integration
Many coaching options now include a custom Prep101 guide—delivered before the session. This means your child arrives already prepped with character notes, scene breakdowns, and strategy. Live time is spent not on the basics, but on performance choices and booking the room.
2. Streamlined Packages
Instead of vague “coaching” blocks, you now choose from clearly defined paths:
Strategy Sessions for quick turnarounds.
Breakthrough Bundles for skill jumps.
Ongoing Coaching Tracks for consistency and measurable growth.
3. Industry Alignment
Every package is tuned to what casting directors actually respond to in film and TV: grounded performances, bold choices, and charisma that leaps through the lens.
Coaching FAQ
Q: How do I know which coaching option is right for my child?
It depends on the need:
Strategic Scene Session → last-minute audition prep.
Breakthrough Pack → skill-building and momentum.
Pro Track → consistent, long-term growth.
Audition Advantage → self-tape polish and accountability.
If you’re unsure, start with a Strategic Scene Session—you’ll see quickly what level of support your child needs.
Q: What is Prep101, and why is it included?
Prep101 is a customized audition prep guide created for your child’s role. It breaks down the script with character insights, emotional beats, subtext, and performance choices—so by the time coaching starts, your child isn’t “cold.” It saves time and lets us focus on deeper performance work.
Q: Do I need to book coaching every time my child has an audition?
Not always. Many parents use Strategic Scene Sessions only when auditions come in. Others prefer the Pro Track for ongoing growth so their child is always “audition ready.” It depends on how often opportunities are coming your way.
Q: Can my child do these sessions if they’re brand new to acting?
Yes. Coaching isn’t just for kids who already have reps. New actors benefit from learning strong habits early—before nerves, bad habits, or “memorization only” approaches take over. The Breakthrough Pack is especially good for beginners who want a structured starting point.
Q: How does self-tape coaching work?
With the Audition Advantage Plan, I act as both coach and reader during the self-tape session. That means your child has a scene partner guiding timing, energy, and choices in real time—plus I handle feedback on takes so you know when the tape is strong enough to send.
Q: What if I just need feedback, not a full coaching session?
That’s included in the Audition Advantage Plan. You’ll get 2 feedback-only reviews per month—perfect when you already taped but want professional notes before submitting.
Q: Do you work with parents too?
Always. Parents are the support system, so I make sure you understand what we’re working on, how to help at home, and what casting expectations look like. Think of me as your partner in the audition journey.
Q: How do we get started?
Easy—choose the package that fits your needs at coaching.childactor101.com. After checkout, you’ll get an email with scheduling details and instructions.

With Prep101 built into the process, sessions start faster and go deeper.
Your child will never “walk in cold.” We hit the ground running.
