You’ve Been Cast In The Past. 🔥You’re Not Ready. And There’s No Time.
This is your lifeline — not your new normal.
🎬 For actors who’ve just landed a historical or biopic role…
…and feel lost, underprepared, or on the verge of panic.
Maybe you’ve just got the script today.
Maybe you’ve been handed a 300-page PDF. Or three biographies with 5,000 footnotes.
Maybe you’ve Googled your character at 2 a.m. — and still can’t feel her.
And maybe no one’s said it yet, so I will:
📌 It’s not your fault that all of this is very last minute.
Most productions don’t give you the time — or the tools — to prepare for a role rooted in a real world, a real woman, a real war.
So I built a one-time, fast-response offer for this exact moment.
🧯 This Is Not Prep. It’s Fireproofing.
This is triage — done with care.
A single, high-impact session for when the role is real, the clock is ticking, and you can’t afford to fake it.
If you’ve got 3 days, I can help — but only once.
If you’ve got 3 months, I can change the outcome.
🛠️ Last-Minute Prep: What You Get
✅ A 90-minute private session (usually within 24–72 hours)
✅ A pre-call briefing: tell me everything you’ve got
✅ A custom cue sheet with emotional + historical anchors
✅ One follow-up exchange by email (questions welcome)
✅ A focused, humane path into the historical role — so you stop faking and start embodying
Fee: €1,250
Paid upfront. This is a one-time, high-impact session + a follow-up designed to help you deliver under pressure — and walk on set ready.
My full prep intensives start at €2,000. This is the rapid-response version — built for clarity, not chaos.
Paid upfront. Delivered via Zoom + email.
⚠️ Last Minute: But One-Time Only
This isn’t the start of a long-term collaboration.
It’s a rescue session — built for serious actors who don’t want to deliver surface-level work, even under pressure.
This is a stopgap, not a shortcut.
If this happens again — ask me earlier.
You’ll get more, and feel more prepared than you ever have.
