Casting Coach for Reality TV

You’ve heard the advice: “Be yourself!” While helpful and true, that advice is insufficient for reality tv hopefuls who are struggling to be the BEST version of themselves in their short audition video. The vast majority of people who apply for a reality TV show have a hard time showcasing their personality, perspective, and storytelling ability. As a professional speaker/storyteller and as a Survivor winner who deeply understands the reality TV casting process, Adam can help you reveal your authentic self while also highlighting the pieces of you that are the most compelling. He provides fully honest and highly detailed constructive feedback, and can help you recognize and showcase the elements of your story, personality, and perspective that make you stand out. At the end of every session, you will leave with a clear sense of what steps to take next to improve your audition and put your best foot forward.


 

Please Note:

From May 7 through the end of June, I will be taking some time off to go backpacking for my honeymoon! If clients are contacted for shows, I will make time (wherever I am in the world!) to meet with them for the ongoing coaching included in their package, but I will not be doing audition video reviews or brainstorm sessions during that time. New bookings can still be made after May 7, but please be aware that your first session will be after July 1. Any ongoing package that began before May 7 will have the expiration date for their package extended by two months. If you would like to schedule your first session, you can use the following links (please send payment for your session or package at the time of scheduling):

30-minute brainstorm

45-minute audition video review

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Testimonials

“Adam Klein has a true passion for casting coaching. Working with him is like talking to a friend I've known for years. He dove deep into interesting parts of myself to showcase, and politely called me out for showcasing what I thought casting could be looking for, but isn't authentic to my true self. He saw through it right away. His talents are not just about helping you get cast on a show, it's about learning to present your best self, increasing your confidence and harnessing your elevator pitch for future opportunities life may offer you. I'll keep working with Adam every year.” - Anonymous
