Who Is This For...
You know you’re talented. You know you’re ready.
But you’re still…
- ❌ Guessing what casting actually wants
- ❌ Wondering how to stand out in a noisy, digital-first industry
- ❌ Hoping reps or workshops will move the needle
- ❌ Feeling like your career is out of your control
Here’s the truth:
It’s not your talent that’s holding you back. It’s your strategy.
If you’re tired of old-school advice, spinning your wheels or waiting for someone to give you permission… WeAudition: THE SHORTLIST was built for you.
This is where actors stop playing small, start thinking like a CEO, and learn what it really takes to work in today’s industry.
What You’ll Learn...
The actors who are booking roles, signing with reps, and creating their own opportunities ARE NOT hustling harder.
They’re connected AND strategic.
That’s why WeAudition: THE SHORTLIST gives you access to the people who make casting, signing, and hiring decisions every day.
Over 5 days, you’ll learn from the experts shaping today’s industry - casting directors, agents, producers, directors, and working actors.
Each session is paired with workbook prompts and daily ‘take-action’ challenges to move your career forward now.
This isn’t another panel.
It’s a strategy session. A behind-the-scenes look into what’s actually working now.
