About Kim

I am very knowledgeable of what is needed for actors to be able to be submitted for projects. I know exactly what clients are looking for from working as a Casting Director for so many years. I am the perfect guide to helping actors find the right resources they need and training depending on the genre they are best suited. Check out my many reviews on Google for KimHoustonActing.com

After my jobs as a Casting Director feels like I'm handing out lottery tickets. Every audition is an opportunity as you never know who's watching your audition and what other projects are going on and I love sharing what is essential for actors to get booked on jobs from my experience. It works!

I started teaching after hundreds of CASTINGS with clients and callback sessions and really getting an understanding of what clients wanted to see from Talent and Auditions depending on the genre. I was happy to share this in classes and saw how successful it was immediately and noticed that many people offered acting lessons but no one really offered auditioning skills. You could be memorized and have an idea of what you're going to do on the audition but many times it doesn't go your way and you need to be prepared. Having an understanding from the clients point of you is eye-opening. I've seen the difference in my classes and in Talent being successful from having this understanding. I'm very good at what I do.



I've been at Casting Director since the early 90s on hundreds of commercials, TV shows, music videos, print jobs and feature films. I have worked with hundreds of directors and clients and producers and Talent on a regular basis. I have tons of experience and resources in guiding talent in the right direction as well as redirecting talent that have not been booking jobs. I specialize in Self Tape auditions

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

We begin usually on zoom or in person by doing a screen test based on an audition taking your age and experience into consideration. I then offer the opportunity to break down the script to make a point of hitting certain points necessary for booking the job and seeing if that direction is taken.



I have worked with students from age 3 into their 80s. I have worked with trained actors and actors with no experience at all. As I have so many resources and experience I enjoy referring talent that put in the work to the right agent that could help them get the right part!



Try to narrow in on exactly what you're trying to get accomplished. Do you know your market? Do you understand production and how it works? Do you know what is needed in your tool kit to even be considered by an agent? I would make sure that the person helping you can set goals that are realistic for you with the timeline to make sure you are reaching them, otherwise move on. There are many out of work actors that offer acting classes… Think about that. Sometimes it is best to work with professionals that are actually working in the field that you are trying to emulate. Resources and networking with the "right people"are so important in our industry. Having the wrong people on your résumé sometimes can get you nowhere and you don't understand why.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my goals? Are they realistic? What kind of time am I willing to invest and creating a budget where you can consistently train in the most realistic & affordable way. Being in a real casting studio is very effective for establishing eyelines, playback, working with a reader and viewing your auditions along with feedback from a professional. The more practice you can get on camera the better! Work with people who are willing to work with you because they see your dedication and commitment to your craft.
