Learn to Audition for TV & Film

Emmy Award-Winning director & actor Katie O’Grady prepares your child to act, audition, get an agent and book his/her next role with confidence. 

Getting your kid or teen into TV/Film can be a confusing road to navigate.  

Maybe you and kiddo are...

Overwhelmed

·       from traveling down the rabbit hole of free online acting tips out there and you’re not sure where to start or who to trust.

Wasting Money

on acting classes with bad techniques that are outdated and don’t work.

Not Finding Any Opportunities

·       in your area or if you do, you’re not getting any callbacks.

Conflicted

about what steps to take right now – Should you get an agent? Should you create social media accounts for your kid? Do you need to move to L.A.?

Worried About Getting Scammed

or making the wrong decisions in this industry.

Getting Discouraged

and a bit intimidated by the road that lies ahead in achieving your dreams.

Can I part the clouds for you?

I know, I know. Kiddo wants to be a star but...

  • You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get started.
  • You don’t need to move to L.A.
  • ...and you don’t need to book a massive gig to become a professional working actor in TV/Film. 

Your child or teen just needs to TRAIN and APPLY key skills that will set him/her apart from all the other actors out there.

MEET YOUR ACTING COACH,

KATIE O'GRADY

I know what it’s like to dream about being an actor but not know how to get there. I also understand how scary and uncertain it feels to take those first steps without fully knowing if you’re on the right path.

Working in the film industry for over 22 years as an actor, producer, writer and director on major network roles (Netflix, NBC, IFC, Showtime) has allowed me to see that the ones who succeed in this industry are the ones who never stop growing. They always ask themselves “What Next?”

Continuously training naturally keeps you on the right path, helps you reach your next milestone and will separate you from everyone else with a dream. I know it sounds simple, but it was true from being a little girl with a dream to training with top professionals in NY/LA/Portland to landing my first role in a Paramount Picture film to recently winning an Emmy…and it’s still true to this day.

As Founder of Acting for Kids & Teens school in Portland, I’ve successfully trained hundreds of actors and have watched them grow in confidence and land TV/Film roles. For the first time, we are going GLOBAL with this training so your child can develop those key skills to act for TV/Film, survive the business, and have more FUN!
